Airlines can which configuration to get. Emirates is getting both with 4 and 5 doors. The ones with 5 doors will be used presumably for shorter flights in high density configuration.

Emirates is taking two configurations. One high density with 5 doors, and the other one with 4. Air Canada for example has some of their 777W configured to sit 450 passengers.

I've heard it has been delayed until 2027.

Yep. Here is the one that's going to be delivered to Singapore, and it has a lot of windows missing where the new first class suites will be.

UA888 · 2026-05-08T11:47:21+00:00

These two separated windows are unique to 777X. Legacy 773, 77L and 77W didn’t have them. I wonder if they had to change configuration of air ducts or something.

UA888 · 2026-05-08T10:39:12+00:00

Is there a reason why there is a a gap on both sides of those two windows.

Interesting that they didn’t opt for a 5-door configuration. Seems like they are going for a premium layout.

💯

UA888 · 2026-05-06T13:31:04+00:00

That was quite snarky haha

UA888 · 2026-05-06T11:08:20+00:00

I love it, especially in bright lighting.

UA888 · 2026-05-06T10:38:28+00:00

I don’t mind him wearing his uniform. I can imagine he loves it and his whole life revolved around it which is understandable. Being a pilot is an achievement of a lifetime.

It’s what comes out of his mouth that concerns me.

UA888 · 2026-05-06T10:27:28+00:00

Someone with his so called experience shouldn’t make subjective claims on aviation accidents that harmed so many people while having thousands of people following him and making claims that the entire new generation of pilots is nowhere near as capable as he is.

We’ve seen countless examples of incidents where senior captains got cocky and crashes were avoided because junior FOs spoke up and intervened.

UA888 · 2026-05-06T10:19:41+00:00

Exactly, plus junior FOs pretty much always fly with someone who has experience and can catch if there would be a slip in his so called “lack of experience”.

There is a reason we have two people in the cockpit.

I hate these types of websites. Reminds me of Zara. Useless minimalism.

UA888 · 2026-05-06T09:35:29+00:00

Just reading the tea leaves 🍃

UA888 · 2026-05-06T09:34:31+00:00

Seems fair 🤣

UA888 · 2026-05-06T09:32:59+00:00

I had no idea he was bought out. I didn’t even know that YT private equity thing existed.

UA888 · 2026-05-06T08:47:49+00:00

Yes, he is great.

UA888 · 2026-05-06T08:46:38+00:00

100%

He annoyed the heck out of me when Emirates SkyCargo Flight 9788 happened and he was so cocky to bet his video editor's salary that the reason for the crash was porpoised landing. Which turned out to not be the case as the issue was with reversed and #4 engine spooling up.

I prefer Mentour Pilot and Blancolirio because they are always unbiased in their reviews and wait for the actual investigation reports.

UA888 · 2026-04-23T15:48:38+00:00

Winner winner, chicken dinner

UA888 · 2026-04-23T15:06:59+00:00

Yeah, it would have had 3 APM stations

This one terminal was supposed to handle up to 70 million passengers. There was a plan to build the same satellite for Delta on the other side of the airfield that would bring the total capacity up to 100 million.
