July 10, 200817 yr US Airways is going to rip the movie systems out of domestic flights to save fuel. clicky So, an 87,000 pound Airbus A319 that US Airways typically flies from JFK to Phoenix will now weight 86,500 pounds. Bra-vo. *golf clap*
July 10, 200817 yr Hmmm..I'm flying USAirways from Phoenix to Ft. Lauderdale next week... I'm taking my iPod, Mac Book, and a couple paperbacks..
July 10, 200817 yr Not that I'm surprised or support this decision but in the world of aviation you'd be surprised that all that weight saving does ADD UP on the bottom line. Edited July 10, 200817 yr by vonVeezelsnider
July 10, 200817 yr Pretty soon we're gonna have to fly naked and have an enema before boarding.... Hey, wait a minute.......

July 11, 200817 yr Won't this just make people lug laptop's, and portable DVD players aboard, negating any weight savings? I'd hate to be a kid on those flights, and I'd hate to be a passenger having to listen to that kid.
