It is loud I admit. I suppose guys wax poetic about it because three decades from it's design both Boeing and Airbus are building infinite retreads of mid-80s designs. And that usable 2L door really is nice, especially when I look at a 321 2L door that is for emergency use only.
I think of it like the dream car from your high school days. It’s outdated now, but it still pulls at the heart strings. It’s a great performer and hand flies nice, but I just don’t get the cult following.
The 2L door is nice and I forget about it until we go to those odd out stations where they use the 1L. I’m not a fan of the 1L door being used.
It does have the most diverse bid pack. LOTS of FL for ATL based, but lots of other stuff as well. I’m not complaining and don’t plan on leaving anytime soon, but I also enjoyed the 88 and would still be on it. As it turns out, all those stickers and T-shirts trying to save the Maddog didn’t keep it around.
