I flew the DC9 with NWA, & it was always fun leaving EWR & getting cleared to an intersection(GREKI I think) and having to respond 'Well I love to do that for you Sir, but we are a /Antique.
Response was usually a chuckle followed by 'Fly heading XXX Direct CFB when able'.
hehe good ol' DC9's. Good to hear you're moving up. There are a few of the local regional pilots that I've stayed in touch over the years, and its always awesome when one of them suddenly checks in flying a wide body for a major after many years of flying the regionals. Its a rite of passage that I'm sure all of you can relate.
