I came back from UAE last week on the 737. The hay bales, chickens & cargo pallets have been replaced with a professional flight crew that actually served a decent airline meal. (relatively speaking). The plane was very clean with newly upholstered seats.
This has come a LONG way from the early flights.

The only glitch was on the final lineup, after the 10,000 ft. corkscrew in, we got waved off & had to go around at low level. It was fun, however freaked out a few of the newbies on board.

It's a smart move. You don't want to give the terrorists a cheap victory to distract from their kind getting blasted out of Iraq.......

Exactly! No cheap plane shoot downs
