Hi Ed,
I get it, but aren't the newer versions of the aircraft larger
(people/aircraft)? I seem to remember riding a larger 737, from either Boston
or La Guardia non-stop to Denver. If you've done that - in any commercial
aircraft - it usually gets a bit bumpy around the Kansas/Colorado border. Winds
come off the mountains and land there. The newer 737's, for whatever reason,
seem not nearly so bumpy - feeling every bump - as the older/smaller versions.
No matter. (and it's not Friday anymore).
:-)
Thanks!
BobL

Bumps are altitude and route related, not the plane's fault. Back in the day we
had a Bombardier into Atlanta for a West Coast Share. No pressure, max altitude
of 5000' thru a thunderstorm. When we got to SFO my card broke when entering
the hotel room the VP says just follow me and we'll get a new one. While we
were waiting he says look at this!
His new madras shirt had bled into his shorts.
Have trouble making it cross country in a 737. Range of 1900 nm. What we're
looking for is direct flights w/ no connecting flights or terminal waits.
Delta flies 757's and 767's cross country, but don't know if they service
Providence.

+1. There are more 737's in service than any other model. I remember
some of the older/smaller models being quite bumpy!
