Old plane or new plane, the pilot is what makes the flight safe. But I was a bit surprised at how worn the 75s, oops, 57s were when I started deadheading on them. I'm also glad that we recently retired our last 737-500, those things had to be replaced. All NG/MAX from here on out.
If your yearbook is the one I'm thinking of, you will never find my picture. On that, we can agree 100%.
Old planes or not, Delta is kicking our butts with DC9 and MD88s still in their fleet. Now throw in their 747-400s A320s and B757s that they got from NWA, and we are in for a world of hurt from a competitor using old jets...My point is that this crap means nada specially in an SLI argument.
