You know I'm just giving you DC-9 bashers a hard time, that's all.
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?)

Most are like "Dude! How do you know where you're going?"

I like technology too, and will again happily sit behind any glass Boeing aircraft, when the time is right. The old Douglass is not that bad though. (The DC-10 was sweet, too)

Sorry for being so Deltoishly ignorant here 
but I'm pretty sure that in the past y'all had a no-furough clause which I guess didn't apply in the post 9/11 world, correct? So is that clause all history now? Or am I thinking of a different airline and if so which one is it?
