you're making the false assumption that people care about cramming themselves into the whistling **** can of death

there's not that much sjs here, the dash is a good plane, as wore out and old as it is

It may seem surprising, but there isn't an overwhelming excitement to fly the jet amongst those who have been here 2+ years. People are excited about it for the company's future, but not for the personal opportunity to be a jet pilot. Personally, I love flying the D8, and am going to be pretty disappointed when it finally lands for the last time. Just nice to know I'll still have a job when it does.

Right. The DCA Controllers used to love what we could do in the Dash. I can only imagine what it was like for those that flew the Dash 7's.

I'm going to miss this bird. Incredible plane.
