NWA 9 vs 320
A buddy of mine starts class next week and was wondering what the reserve time and schedules between the 2 airplanes. 1,2,3,4,5 day trips etc. he lives in MSP so that would be his choice if given. Thanks...

All that stuff doesn't matter.... pick the -9, fly some steam gauges, set off some car alarms on takeoff roll and get some hair on your chest, hombre! :cool:

Right on, Brother! The 9 builds character! Plus, you really can't appreciate the spacious and comfortable 320/757 cockpits until you've spent at least four full seasons on the DC-9: Wiping the sweat from your brow in the summer, and mopping up type I fluid as it drips in through your "clear view" window in the winter... New hires at NW who are coming off the Rj are in for a treat! |

Aren't their 320's pretty old as well? I know, not as old as the 9's but are they not from late 80's early 90's?
I've noticed that some of our (NK) 319/21's are pretty ratty looking only after a year of use: I can not imagine what they will look like in 20 years:eek: On a side note: I was on one of NWA 9's a month or so ago and the plate read 1966..... I don't think you will find the bus around for that long! |

I remember hearing that the old joke at NWA was when the last Airbus is flown to the desert, the crew will deadhead home on a DC-9.
