Nothing was traded for the no hats...it couldn't be enforced. Things get traded when you hear the words..."long term this will be better for you"

How do you DC9 pilots even know where the airplane is? Seriously?
Map? I just memorized the VORS and radials when I was in my 20's, has anything changed? The VOR's have names, so when you dial in the freguency (yes, you physically have to do it) the DME will tell you how far away you are from the VOR. Try it on the 767/757. Push that "Auto" button to "Man" and work it baby!!! :D |

That is OK we have to do that on the 88 too. If we do not the FMS will not know where it is!
If you like to fly, you will love the DC-9. You have to make the airplane go when you want it to go. If you like to be flown around, you will hate the DC-9. The only thing "Auto" on it are the spoilers. (The autopilot isn't even really "auto.") For me, it's a fun airplane and I like the face the younger jumpseaters have when they ride up front for the first time. One word: AWE. (Or, is that fear?) :D |

See, that's the reason they give us DC9 SIC type flying the 88 in the first place! Mgmt knew most of us would fly one someday:)
Seriously, do you guys think they can get away with a short course from 88 to dc9? I highly doubt it... System's relatively similar, but the buttons, oh boy. The only thing we won't need new training sadly, is the FMS. On FI, someone mentions opening a LAX dc9 base? ACL?? anyone? It brings tears of joy in my eye... |

It knows where it's at. Not that I've ever done it, but I've heard of crews leaving the departure VOR's set the whole flight from JFK to FLL and it did fine.:)
