I've read a lot of his posts on the Spirit threads and from what I've read he is a very good guy. It's Delta's loss if what you said is true.

Having said that, I've been here for 16 years. 727 FE, Md88 FO, furloughed, 737G FO, MD88 FO, 7ER FO...I just got an A320 Captain bid and I think after 16 years of riding shotgun, I'll be a bigger risk as a Captain of an Airbus than a 1.5 year guy in the left seat of the Maddog. Unless they're former Military. :D


Thhhaaaaaattt should get the conversation started.

Trouble maker.

Now if they came from flying this particular F-22 and they understand how to MEL whatever that is causing that problem... they're MD-88 ready to go.

I think that's the ART switch firing off or something.

:D

I believe that's an MD18, isn't it?:eek:

He obviously deployed the thrust reverser buckets too early, before the nose was on the ground!

I think MIL guys flying Air Force A-4s are more than ready to go. In this picture, you see the military equivalent of Atlanta's Ramp 2.

That's what it feels like in the back of an MD88 on the ATL ramp in July!

For all you 'new' MD88 Captains (who are a threat to our very existence), please, I beg you, run the damned APU!

If your answer is: "Check the C-2's CDL book, I bet we can go."

Then you're 88 material.

(btw, the guy who was flying the other airplane of similar shape and military service that survived this incident and his wife did pre-marital marriage married mentorship for my wife and I. He's a FedEx pilot now)

Damn that engineer who didn't put cabin fans on that jet. Damn him. Damn him all.


But he probably dead. I mean it's like 50-60 years since that thing was designed, no?

You saw this and you got married anyway??:eek:

Looks just like MY marriage, but nobody showed me this 'after' picture!

Greatest line of all about marriage.

"Sex, is the Novocaine that makes marriage possible."
