None of them...all of them. Whatever one is giving me a hard time in trouble-shooting or a certain task. They all have their "moments". Ask enough who were delayed or what-not and they''ll tell you whatever A/C was involved. the feeling is real...but it''s just anecdotal: "Well we got delayed by an engine problem on A/C 6XX, so 6XX is a piece of....". A/C 6XX is probably on it''s 3rd or 4th set of engines.

You''d need to be scientific as to what was the CAUSE of a problem/delay, how many of the fleet type out there etc. I mean, if certain parts or tooling were not available for A/C XYZ''s scheduled routine tasks or for a problem at the gate, and they WERE available for A/C RXQ, and the latter makes it''s flight, and the other not, is one A/C bulletproof, and the other a bucket of rivets?
 
Wasn''t one of the 75s "affectionately" referred to as "Christine"? IIRC it was one of the old Eastern birds.

''Dunno. Worked on our 757''s from Day 1, never heard "Christine" moniker for a 757...just a tow tractor with bad brakes. :eek:)
 
Christine was an F100 (A/C 854 I believe). She would spend more time at the hangar then in the air.
 
Christine is aircraft 600. First delivered to Eastern. Just odd stuff always goes on like the video will start itself and she spends a lot of time in the hangar. Harmless but "THE" Christine is 757 #600.

A/C 600 was named Christine years ago by Mechanics and Flight Crews.This is ship #3 in the 757 production line,ship 1 and 2 were boeing test A/C.
