MD-88 added to the regional aircraft category

[Lynxman]

MD88 is my favorite plane to ride on.

ASA pilots, if they had the MD80 and CRJ9 at same rates, which would you fly?

The one I could hold a line on.

They were after deregulation.

Hey I wonder if the Md80 is a regional jet then what's a CRJ? A county jet? ASA pilots, if they had the MD80 and CRJ9 at same rates, which would you fly? The 9 because it's longer or the other "9" because it's cooler?

Anyone referring to the CRJ900 as the "9" needs to be taken out back and beaten with a hose but nowadays with your unions its not easy to do. The real "9" is the DC-9, something more like an airplane than a Barbie Jet. Although it would be more of a plane if it had radial engines, but one cant have it all. But the CRJ900 should be at mainline, but the Delta pilots sure dropped the ball on that one.

I could care less about size of aircraft, I want PAY and Quality of Life. Shiny Jet Syndrome does not affect me.

 

[say again]

CRJ a better ride over the MD80??? hahahahahahahahahahaha.

I agree. These spiky headed young pilots riding around on the crj900 weren't even alive when the true "9" was in production. Makes me cringe when they say they "fly the 9".
A real '9' would eat their lunch. :laugh:

Welcome to the new world order, dinosaurs. The "9" is the CRJ 900. Do they still build the DC9? No. Why? Because it's a piece of crap. Hell, Douglas isn't even in business anymore. Why? Because they built pieces of crap like the DC9.

I'm sorry all you DC9 drivers are jealous of the 900. If you are so much better what are you doing here on the regional boards? You never seem to care when you need a ride on my jumpseat. LOL!

Probably an trolling attempt by you, but feel free to compare paychecks with the DC-9 pilots, since that is certainly more important than "size" issues. The mainline pilots have a right to be concerned, when next generation pilots of similar sized aircraft are so willing to accept horrible pay

Hey junior,
You'd be in a world of hurt if you ever had the chance to fly a plane with no buttons to push like on your shiny Barbie jet. Remember, you're not a pilot on that thing, only a passenger.

You're probably one of those idiots who turn their shoulder boards backwards to indicate that they fly a bigger barbie jet. hahahaha
