"New" Delta DC-9-50 in MSP

[123]

Long live the -9's!! Lots of awards to DC-9 CA/FO in yesterdays April APA. Empty the sandbox.

Agreed. Also interesting to note that they are looking for both CA and FO -9 instructors. Must be gearing up for a bunch of -9 training. Just my luck, the month after I get off the -9 they are looking for IP's. Oh, well.....

Looking for instructors also. Maybe those 30 desert planes are coming after all. It would be nice to get them here before SOC.

You will be standard. It will be along the lines of recommend procedures and techniques from the manufacturers.

Who doesnt do it that way?

... that famous smell, only the DC9 has! Kinda' like sour milk and stale cigarettes. Ahhhh....Still feels like home

The DC-9 scent is sort of like art, everyone interprets it in a different way.

To me it was always kerosene, sweat, coca-cola and farts... which is pretty much everything that gets left behind.

Ya ever read the horrible English in the Airbus manuals?

Someone just learning English would produce a better manual - even if it was nothing but "See light - push button".

What bases and how many? Where do they get the bodies from, do they have to displace from other seats since hiring isn't going on?

The CA awards were RDs meaning they are coming back to a previously displaced position.

The FO awards were to people bidding off of current equipment to the -9.

The interesting part is that the previous CA displacements were because of the reductions in -9s. So this may be the indication we have been waiting for in regards to if more -9s will be coming back. These are the first -9 awards in months. Combine that with the company looking for IPs on the -9 now it has to make you wonder. Supposedly we will hear something soon. We'll see :beer:
