jump seats ...

Are those the webby things that fold down from the side walls?

I guess those might not be luxury accomodations ...;-)

You couldn’t expect Barry to fly on the same plane as BO.

The first family originally had been scheduled to head to Hawaii on Saturday; the Obamas for years have celebrated Christmas and New Years in the state where Obama was born.

Maybe he'll have time to pick up a copy of his birth certificate while he's there.

You don’t really think Obie is going to watch Bo.

Yup. Seats along the side of the interior made of webbing.

Technically, it’s not a lie. The 737 is marketed to business customers as the “Boeing Business Jet.”

“They’re using RATOs. They have the whole first family eat three servings of Wendy’s™ chili.”

EPA’s gonna go postal over that.

I don’t understand Obie saying they have gone to Hawaii for Christmas for years...because I don’t think the girls had met his grandma....years in a row....

You mean they all ride the small plane and Obie and iReggie get the big plane later on.

Does the dog get his own plane this time?

For a free trip to Hawaii, I think I could make do ... oh, wait, what am I thinking. It’s not a free trip, I am paying for it as a tax payer, and I won’t even get a post card.

*sigh*

I was prepared to be outraged by the special treatment when I looked up details on Hawaii’s quarantine policy. As it turns out though, Hawaii has revised the policy in recent years and it is possible that Bo is entering Hawaii without a special waiver.

From Hawaii’s official website:
“The program began as a 120-day quarantine and in 1997, a 30-day quarantine alternate program was approved (abolished in 2003).

A Five-day-or-less quarantine went into effect on June 30, 2003. This quarantine program allows pets to be directly released at the airport if the pet owner follows strict procedures prior to the pet’s arrival in Hawaii.”

They lied again. Does this look like a "business aircraft" to you?

American Airlines is a business. They use less fancy models of this, so of course it's a business jet. obama will take a crummy old C-25 business jet out there, because he's really cool and he cares.

It’s a modified passenger liner. The 737 is the most ubiquitous airliner in the world, IIRC.

Good grief.
Barry is probably flying there the very next day or two!
He is so damned worried about the rest of us “going green” and they cannot even fly on the same damned plane!

RIDICULOUS!

No it's a Boeing BBJ (Boeing Business Jet). So not technically a lie.

It's just people hear "military version of a business airplane" and think "Learjet", not something with an MTOW of 78 tons (the 757-200 is 115 tons)
