I don't think the DC-9 qualifies.
She's just old, wrinkled, and completely ugly now. She may have been the prom queen in 1966, but she's had 12 kids and 5 husbands since then (one of whom was her son's best friend).
No amount of Botox or spin can bring back her former beauty. Let's just put her out of her misery.

You're just a hater. The truth is that you arn't man enough to satisfy her. She told me herself.

No FMC, LNAV, or VNAV allowed.
Might your real misery be called the 3:1 ratio?

That's a pretty bad ratio. I think you have to bid those 6 day MNL trips. Your ratio may get better there.

The worst part about this thread is if it is true, then it generates another ****ing contest about which pilots get to fly the 777 obtained by trading the 787 slots.

As to whether the DC9 can get the job done anymore all you have to do is look at whats being parked and whats being bought.

As to the 3:1 ratio, it isn't near as scary as the 1:1 ratio, whether for every DC9 thats scrapped do we buy 1 mainline replacement or 1 RJ replacement. Thats the ratio we're afraid of.
