I’m going to be in New York all day on Tuesday - so I’m writing this short post on Monday evening and having it autopost. I’d like to share another person I follow on Twitter - fleetnews.

I love hearing news about aircraft changes, and fleetnews posts details about every single fleet change. For example:

ex-Air Littoral Bombardier CRJ100 F-GPTE is now in service for Jetlink Air with new Reg 5Y-JLC: http://snipurl.com/5pe2w about 15 hours ago from web

If you’re an airplane geek like me and like reading about how aircraft change hands, fleetnews is a good person to follow on Twitter.

Is anyone out there as addicted to Twitter as I am? Unfortunately, Court of the Airplane Geeks got me completely hooked. Anyway, there are some great aviation twitterers out thee, so I though I should share some of them over time. The first I wiould like to mention is SPEEA, the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace, one of Boeing’s major unions. According to the Twitter bio, the account is run by Ray Goforth, the executive director. They have been going through contract negotiations, and their tweets provide an interesting, very up-to-date perspective on things. For example, on the elveneth these tweets came out:

Lots of hard work. Some progress.

And then…

Major stumbling block
8:12 PM Nov 11th from txt

The one that came out about a half hour ago was very interesting:

Council preparing strike authorization vote
27 minutes ago from txt

I’ve certainly found the updates interesting. You can follow SPEEA here, and you can find my account here.
