Just finished 6 weeks at the school house for the MD. No talk of cutting the MD back for another 9 years. Lots of talk on bringing it almost exclusively domestic, as next bid periods line show. After the MD training conference everyone is buzzing about trying to chain the MD nosewheel down for faster loading and taking out the APU and the fridge. They could always pull a DC-8 and end it tomorrow but they need the lift.
