I do think the DC-9-40 ought to be headed to join the 762 Spirit of Delta as "once flown by Newk." Just thinking.
Speaking of the 9, let's talk about the 9. Guys flying it want to share some insight and thoughts about the bird in case there is an ATL base? A friend and I were talking about it today and it'd be nice to hear some thoughts of the transition back to non-FMS, trip QOL and other pertinent line pilot stuff. Thinking about it, maybe on this AE maybe on the next.
ftb,
I'm kind of in the lurker mode nowadays, but I'll jump out to vouch for the -9. Its a great airplane. Yes, it's a lot of work. But, after you fly it for a few months, the work becomes second nature and you hardly notice it.
I'm sure it's the hardest airplane to fly in the fleet, but it's dooable. I say go for it.-- especially if you are going for the big pay raise.
