B-780? or A-387? Now they will be able to DH us on the middle deck in addition to the middle seat!
Of note, the tailnumber N3971 is registered to a Twin Beech in Nevada. Does this lend credence to the little-known merger rumor with Allegiant? Anything to get our hands on a few more DC-9 derivatives I guess.
Looks like it has an E-175's APU exhaust mated with a 330...

I've never seen what the big deal is. SOPA/SMAC was a comfortable way to fly, as you always knew EXACTLY what the other guy was going to do. That said, I never felt operationally restricted.
The one major downside of SOPA/SMAC, IMO, was in the preflight. We had a CA and an FO preflight (instead of PF/PM) and after a few months on the line I quickly started forgetting what all those "CA Switches" did. There was roughly half of the overhead panel that I NEVER touched, making it more difficult to keep your mind wrapped around the other guy's switches. But I knew 100% (of 50%) of the Airbus!
Our current way is my new favorite way, and I'm sure the next "best way" will be fine too. A little common sense goes a looooong way.

One of the guys on the 88 who did this retired in Oct. I can't recall what he flew....maybe the same guy. The one who made it even worse IMO would include the fact that he graduated from MIT right before talking about his carrier landings. The give away that this is about to happen: When he asks what you did before coming to Delta within 30 seconds of meeting one another in the cockpit.

Me neither. Which is why I posted what I did. I swear I could almost "see" the look of terror on posters faces regarding sopa/smac through my monitor. 
It was a bit amusing.
This is a big to-do about nothing. Which is interesting considering how often some here say the same thing about other issues that people bring up.
Me neither.
Once again, spot on.
And Big box theory, little box theory, sopa/smac, No sopa/smac, I'll do it the way the company wants. None of it is the end of the world.
And it would not suprise me in the least if what other's have said regarding it being on the way comes true. The latest Vol 1 revision on my airplane is pretty much spot on to old nw. Verbatim at times. And to head off the inevitable tangent: no I am not saying it was better that way.

Yeah really. I can't believe anyone actually thinks saying what number you are for takeoff is a violation. Its 100% CRM and vital information for the FA's. Its probably the same people that climb at 240 because they think if they climb at 250 and hit a one knot gust they're violating the regs.
Who here has said they think saying what number you are for takeoff is a violation? To the contrary, I have seen a number of posters state they excluded that type of statement, and that they are referring to the long drawn out types.

Depending on the FAs (after one leg) I call "flight attendants prepare the cabin for departure" either #1 for takeoff or right before I start the first engine.
