I know every airline has its small percentage of morons but I just saw this and had to share. It's from a logbook entry on a MD80 at AA:
writeup: A/C 4WM date: 10/04 FLT:1519
"While setting Transponder codes discovered transponder unable to accept any code ending in an "8" or "9".
signed: DFW Capt. T.P C***** #@@@@@
Maint. Sign off: Replaced transponder control panel per M.M.-ops checked normal.
Mech#@@@@@
It is quite apparent that this crack DFW crew saved the day by "discovering" that the transponder could not accept any codes that have an 8 or 9.
Kudos for the DEN maint. crew who replaced the faulty transponder control panel, and ops checked the new one normal. I assume they made sure that 8 and 9 were usable.
