And that is why the -88 is better than the 7ER.....
And when I went from the right seat of the 767/757, to the left seat of the MD88 (no 90's then), the Limitations Chapter for all 4 models (757-200, 767-200, -300, ER) was only 5 pages.
The Limitations for just the MD88 was 11 pages!! Back then you had to have -all of it- committed to memory too!
I remember telling my IP that I wasn't sure I wanted to fly any airplane with 11 pages of Limitations!
