You will see me there, And I have to say that was cute Bar.

I was referring to the Flow trainers on the third floor. You are correct that the CBT's are locked.

Bar it will just make you think the 320 is a great jet. Plastic and all! ;)

FWIW, I found my poster of the 88 today! ^#^$$^#(@@# airplane! ;)

Yeah, I'm digging my 88 crap out also ACL. Saw the "flows" again. Had to laugh out loud. What an ergonomic nightmare. Please don't make me leave my Boeing, please, please, please (sound of a grown man crying)....

Depending on how the bid goes down you might get to stay on that out in LAX. If not you can bid the DC-9! I think that the 9 will make all us love the 88. Just think, No alt hold and no fms/AT etc. NO WAY!

No altitude capture is the big one.

All I'm saying is "bring on the C-series, quickly!"

That being said, the 9 prob isn't too preflight intensive. Throw a few switches, pull out your map and go. I'll happily fly that (or any plane for that matter) any day as long as my paycheck still says Delta.

Most guys that flew the 9 said "I spent 2,000 hours on that jet, 1,900 at climb power."

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?

Do I have to get out my Whiz Wheel and spin the winds?
