Then the stars align, peace comes to the earth and all is right with the universe. Sometimes minor deities weep over my overall goodness.

single category for Saudi MD-90's and 717's????
Maybe with cockpit overhauls on more than one fleet. Lots of differences for the FAA to buy off on it I think.......The current setups would definitely require training every 90 days.....
I think not. The overhead panels are completely different, the DFGC's are completely different, the pedestal set up is completely different.

I've heard. FWIW, JT8Ds like to blow out too but of course they're not as young. Are you guys using less power than before on climb out? If so, is that to save the engine wear and tear? I ask because given the size of the engines I'd figure they'd climb like a bat out of hell but I've caught a few lately in the climb and it made me think that it might be a reduced power procedure for fuel or engine life.
It may be one of the reasons why SWA is like "you really want em'? Have em'. We can get 737s." I think for DAL they'd like to work through those problems if they can get young 117 seaters for a very good price.
Of course DAL getting the 717s from AAI as AAI becomes SWA is ironic given the 9s that went to Valujet from Delta. Maybe the only reason Delta wants to do this is to complete the circle? The circle of life? Hakuna Matata.

I'm hoping that you guys didn't misinterpret this statement; "the 717 Sims are moving to DAL" ..... There is a DAL in Texas, and it's not an airline.
I can confirm that Gary Kelly told the AirTran MEC Chair in a face to face meeting a week ago that the 717's will stay at Southwest. All of them and then some

I like Apple products, but I really hate their corporate arrogance. Especially when it comes to pricing and the RDF. RDF for you non-bitheads is what geeks call the Reality Distortion Field around Steve Jobs whenever he talks about the latest and greatest product from Apple.In that spirit for all you RDF fans, here is the a biased demo of the upcoming RIM Playbook vs. Apple iPad.
