From: A320 Left seat
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.
Thhhaaaaaattt should get the conversation started.

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.

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

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)

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

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