Of course the power will firewall at level off to go back to 280. Or you could be a pilot and pulled speed 280 to avoid this crap to begin with. I’ve noticed most of the criticism on the Bus is when guys sit back and let the thing do something without having intervened and done what they wanted it to do. 99.9% of the time the plane did exactly what you had told it do, most likely you didn’t mean it to do that.

321s slicker than the FMS thinks. That’s terrifying. And we’re getting more of these things. Think of how stressed you will be on every leg......😳

VNAV descents in the 737 are SOOOOO much better. Set it and forget it.😜

The 321s... they are a bit more slick than the FMS thinks and normally end up at the top of the bracket.

Why do guys complain about the Mad Dog again?

I'd be happy to see them here, in fact, I'd hit it ... just pointing out the similarities with another nutball project born in 1986, Lindsey Lohan.

(1) Both started out cute, but got stretched
(2) Both smoke
(3) Both make noise when they really should be quiet
(4) Both have legal restrictions which limit how high they are supposed to get
(5) Neither does math very quickly
(6) Both are unpredictable when you take them out in public & neither follows commands well
(7) Both get droopy when not powered up
(8) Both leak in inappropriate places
(9) Both show up in sequels
(10) Both drink waaay too much
Bonus (11) When either tries to stop, they get the shakes
Bonus 2 (12) Both are frequently driven by people on probation
Bonus 3 (13) The MD88 makes a lot of SkyMiles, Lindsey makes lots of Marlboro miles
Bonus 4 (14) Both do a pretty good job, but getting there involves too much drama
