Shaun, in Da Nang, Vietnam you were always number 1. That probably made you feel good. It had better, you travelled across the World for RJ SIC time! What an idiot!

The MadDog (M88) has the wing of a DC-9. Clean speed in excess of 260kts is not uncommon for takeoff. The little wing doesn't do much better on final. The wind and especially gust factor is a big deal in trying to avoid falling out of the sky on short final. Most DAL guys started out of the M88 and I think the wind check culture crossed over to other plane types.

Delta wind checks

Would this somehow stem or relate to the Delta L1011 microburst discovery years ago? How far back do their wind checks go?

Ahhh all the communication police have arrived. Who cares what others do. Is it really messing with YOUR life in some way.

On the good side since this whole wind check and departure call stuff, I learned a few more things to say on the radio....

The wind is nice and all but "how long is final today?"

Not every plane just falls from the sky... If final is going to be short, sum us need to configure pretty early. Helps 2 no.

Umm ....No That's not true.

It has been a while since I was on the Mad Dog but at 167.5k and 165k clean speeds are above 260KIAS.

I thought AA was "Windcheck airlines"
