Don't mean to be a plane snob, but I don't think anyone uses DC-9s anymore, the semi modern version is the MD80.]]>Mar 29th 2010 9:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/Mar 29th 2010 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/
The -50s will be kept for the foreseeable future while the others will be dumped in the near future.

They said they were doing this to save weight (they announced this then when oil was at all-time highs.) Who knew electricity had mass? ;)

Using more electricity costs more money.


Using less electricity costs less money.


Pretty simple plan. ]]>Mar 29th 2010 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/
As electricity is generated by the Alternator as a result of Engine power, there is a limited, but extremely large amount of electricity available onboard.

just like in a car. "Turn off the headlights!!! Its costing me extra on my power bill!!!" The engine rotates, so does the alternator, this time electricity is a free benefit.

Just an interesting note - a car Alternator produces 300Amps of power, enough to power welding equipment and 2 electric stoves. (except the voltage will drag ya down)]]>Mar 29th 2010 9:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/

I will say that their A321s are generally pretty nice though, especially since a bunch of them are brand new. ]]>Mar 29th 2010 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/Mar 29th 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/Mar 29th 2010 11:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/Mar 29th 2010 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/]]>Mar 29th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/Mar 30th 2010 1:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/I could just find one incident, and that was with the original A300. ]]>Mar 30th 2010 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/29/us-airways-finally-secures-gogo-in-flight-wifi-adding-to-all-a3/
1. America West Airlines bought US Airways (saved from bankruptcy).
2. America West Management is in charge of the Airline (felt US Airways was a better name, I disagree, but oh well).
3. We in-sourced all of IT expect the REZ system.
4. We updated all the computers from Windows 95 to XP (and soon Windows 7).
5. We upgraded all the networks to Cisco gear.
6. And as you said we are updating our long haul fleet to wifi.

I know, so what. I just hate to hear worse airline after working so hard to make it better. Don't trust me, look around, US Airways has improved significantly over the last 3 years for customers.

I am disappointed at how long it took airplanes to get WiFi, but very surprised at how working on an airplane is not only uncompromising but better than my own office.
