When it's sitting next to a 717 it looks the same size and more impressive. There are some who don't see the 717 (DC-9) as a major airliner. If its sporting a widget, then the pilots should too.

Smaller(ish) planes flown by mainline is a good thing. 4000 hours in the little pup. 220 looks like a big RJ. Glad it’s here, as it should be

Seems like everyone is pretty upset with the ATL 320 trips these days. As a new guy hoping to live in ATL, does the 73, 717, or ER offer anything better trip-wise? I know I’d love a tray table but nicer trips would trump that in my mind.

Exactly this. It is great if you can get the rare long PTY etc, but there aren’t many (ATL) The trips right now leave me more worn out than being junior on the Mad Dog 15 years ago. Unless you are pilot who doesn’t mind the 3am alarm clocks (I wish I didn’t mind) there just aren’t many trips that aren’t more tiring than international. The cumulative effect of 11 hour layovers is something I am willing to trade for the rest issues on international.

How will trips like that leave you time to shine your epaulettes?
2. Get your attempted shade right. I don't shine my Epaulets because I have multiple ones I swap out each trip. When they get dirty I buy new ones for $14.99 each Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk |
