A Fed on the MD88 program said today's FAA probably would not authorize the MD88 and MD90 as they did in the past. Without igniting the whole Douglas v/ Boeing debate, the MD's are not as "user friendly" as the Boeing equipment is.

Besides, while I love the jobs the DC9 provides, it is an anachronism. Obama likes tax credits for "EnergySmart" stuff. Why not a tax credit for new airplanes? It's not like he isn't throwing 2Bn down a rat hole to promote trains. Lets hear it for "cash for JT8's" every JT8D traded for a CF34 is worth $4,000,000.

With the same amount of seats. (CF34 not a GE RJ engine)

When I first got hired at NWA (Oct 99) we had a few MD-80s. We flew them as a separate category as well.

I thought they got rid of the MD-80's in the early 1990's or even late 1980's....


One way or the other, they were a separate category from the 9.

Two of them will be in the desert, 3304 and 3305, coming out in early spring after a heavy check.

They are doing a lot of work out there in MZJ. Have five of the DAL-S 757's and one 767 in storage, as well as a bunch of the DAL-N 757's. They say all of them are going to be stored so that is a good thing.
