It looks like no changes on the 330, DBMS already takes DTW 777 but not ATL 330!

Oh, forgot:

-SOC should be signed off on Dec 16
-We did purchase another 330 sim that will be put in MSP and should be up and running in the March or May timeframe (I forgot which one was said).

I only pop the buckets and don't reverse it unless my finger slips and you know a finger slip on the 88 can go from no reverse to a lot of reverse. Its not 757 brakes but if you start one at a time it comes on smooth and it will really stop.
The biggest problem with the 88 brakes is the cultural refusal to use Auto Brakes. I have over 13 years on that jet between both seats and I came to the conclusion that Auto Brakes were very useful. A little crosswind - Auto Brakes, short runway - Auto Brakes, rain snow sleet - Auto Brakes, I'm tired after a long day - Auto Brakes. The general culture on that jet eschews the use of Auto Brakes as unmanly, but experience shows that most of the runway overruns would have been prevented by the use of Auto Brakes. Any snow or sleet and they went to Max.

Easy to block a field goal when the kicker in question hits you squarely in the ta tas with the football... But... *sigh* at least ya'll whooped.. and yes... I am so happy that you whooped the gators.

(BTW... they are hostesses.. not hookers) What's the big damn deal?

I heard the same. Currently MSP 330 sim is overbooked. They are sending pilots to London to finish up 330 training at DAL-N.

Not it did not take ATL 330.

But it did take (as you said): NYC 765, DTW 777, MSP M88, SLC 320, SLC M88-?, NYC 777-?,

It did not take: 320 ATL, 320 NYC, DC9 NYC, DC9 ATL, DTW 7ER

Still playing with it. If this is a precursor then there isn't anything unexpected. Shame. I was hoping for something out of left field.
