If I'm not mistaken I believe Delta's 737NGs were ordered with or at least showed up with HUDs in 2000. Maybe one of the old farts around here would know.

You invented the internet too!

Way to build a hub Delta!
We keep being told how bad we are doing in the NE. Juneau was a utter disaster for Delta over the summer. We could not get in there 1 day the entire summer! How many days did Alaska not make it? The single day we did not make it the aircraft had the performance to return to SEA rather then stick the passengers in Sitka!

Every 737 has a hud at Delta.

Well goodnight y'all. It's been fun. Sleep well and don't worry. I'm sure Delta will get it together eventually. They are a competent Air Line. They could even be great some day. Hey! Stranger things have happened.
Mike taking a quick look at overall operating stats out of SEA if Delta does not have it together what does that say about Alaska? Might want to glance at the numbers!

If we can get this thing to operate in the snow:



As to the gravel runway thing, there's no gravel runways in Paris, what are we supposed to do?



Mike, are you on flight pay loss from the Department of Drunk and Posting on the Internet?

From Day 1? As in 14 years ago. I thought they were ordered with and showed up with HUDS.

They were, I was in one of the initial class. Mike from Alaska is really poorly informed.
