Dl/nw Dc-9

Does anyone know how many DC9's are currently on property? The original FP had us going down to 58-60, but heard recently we stopped parking around 78, and bring some back. Anyone heard anything specific?

How do you plan you descents without a VNAV box? I heard that in the DC-9 autopilot, you have to manually level off at each altitude. How much of a pain is that?

LMAO! The sad part is there are people out there that act like they are scared about it! LOL god forbid a pilot may have to actually aviate an airliner

:beer:

You take your airspeed and multiply it by 1 if its am and 2 if its pm. Then you multiply it by your altitude and divide it by your seating capacity. That's when you start down, then adjust as needed if it doesn't look like you're gonna make it.

The DC-9s use the highly refined TLAR method.

Best response from a NWA crew coming into ATL recently.

ATL CTR: Are you equipped for the XXXX arrival?

NWA: Negative, we are equipped for radar vectors.

I agree. The CRJ-900 is one nice ride.
