Sounds like to me we have guys not very confident in shooting CAT III using the HUD here at SWA.

Maybe…but once the cherry is popped in real time then you realize they’re fun. I’m far less confident in the dumpster fire remaining solvent for my remaining time at trailways.

I think the auto-land function on the B737 sucks. Of course I came off the L1011 and the B757, which were excellent.

Still trying to figure out what doesn't suck on the B737

The wifi works most of the time now, at least when the core back-end systems that run our entire operation aren't failing.

And apparently the plane flies just fine after dragging a wingtip, kinda like curb feelers I guess. Expensive curb feelers.

exactly, then when the contracts come do, don't continue them. No way the others could fill the void nor the mainline cover the amount of flying the regional does. 50% of delta's flyingnis regional.

It would never happen but it's weird to think of how something so simple could cripple the industry

50% of DL flying is regional?

Show your math here buddy, because you are way way off.

Delta pilots can’t even hand fly and approach in IMC because Northwest pilots weren’t trained for that. So cheaper option than getting NW pilots up to speed was to just dumb it down
