Scambo, it's funny you mention that. Captain I was flying with was an F15 driver, he said he came to Delta thinking he was coming to the latest and greatest everything when he got here... he then was on the 727 panel and amazed of what a dinosaur it was- and no INS??!? The jumpseater was a P3 guy that came in 85, he said he was blown away by the 727s technology.
Funny. Everything is relative.
Btw, never met so many 1985 DALS hires until I did the ATL-DFW shuttle. I'm usually slack jawed meeting a 1988 hire, but 85?!? Whooooa.
