A good amount of flying out of MEM is done with DC9s and if the 30/40s are gone then something has to replace that lift or it has to be shifted elsewhere. The regionals arent getting more planes so that shouldnt be the answer and its rumored that CPZ is shifting a lot of their ops to LGA next year so that brings up ALOT of Questions as to what the plans for MEM are.

I wonder if DALPA has the complete demographic make up of the pilot group? Because I do know a few ATL residents that commute to ER, despite probably being able to hold ATL ER, because they prefer the trips there. I'd like to see % of commuters that live in a base.
80, this bunny has a waffle on its head. Your turn.

The DC-9 is like an old Cessna... I'm not knocking the -9, it was a great plane in the sixties and seventies. But that was 30-40 years ago.

Really if you look at it, even the late 80s 744 and mid 90s 777 is severely dated compared to some single engine airplanes PFDs and MFDs. Much less the 88 and 756.
I think the price tag to put a synthetic vision PFD with an MFD that can show charts in your Cessna 152 is only like $15K now.

I would dearly love to see the 330 come to ATL on this bid....

I'm actually hoping not on this one, that way more people in front of me will jump out to other categories, get frozen, and then they can have the ATL 330 bid.
