AA Recalls

[SellingDirt]

Heard on another board that AA is talking about ramping up recalls to 150/month and pulling 25 MD80's out of the sand. Anyone else heard anything? I know in their prime they could only max out at 100/month, so I find that a little hard to believe

 

[Draginass]

No way could they do 150 pilots a month, much less 150 Stupid-80 pilots. It's a wild rumor. There will be probably an increase over 10 a month, but probably not multiples of that. I wouldn't be hanging by the phone waiting for an AA recall.

whats a stupid-80 pilot?

 

[FearlessFreep]

One would assume from the first posting that it is a reference to the MD-80, sometimes referred to as the Super 80.

 

[Draginass]

"Stupid-80" is a term of endearment (or maybe not) for the MD-80 . . . not be read as an adjective to describe the pilots that fly it.

why is this in the cargo forum? shouldn't a mod move this to the major forum?

Stupid 80

Who knows why, but AA likes to call their MD-80s the Super 80: derivative: Stupid 80!

Probably because when Douglas launched the airplane back in the late 70s, they called it the DC-9-Super 80.
