Hi Daddy!!!
Bad question to ask, "Daddy...when you going out on a trip again?" When he's still unpacking from the last one.
or
"Andy(the farm help)that 727 sure is coming low....uh oh!" (as the airliner goes into a bank to survey what work wasn't done on the farm. Followed by a not-very nicely worded phone call about 30 minutes later.

Last night I had an Airbus "pilot" walk into the line shack after I set that pic as my computer desktop background. He made it known that he didn't appreciate the "unprofessional" message I was sending with that picture, and that the Airbus is as "perfect as an airline transport aircraft is going to get." After that outburst, I bit my tongue, but was about to tell him, "That's ok, many mentally challenged people live long and happy lives."

No worries, he was probably a Northwest pilot who had just woken up from his nap and realized he was in ATL and not MSP

Seen lots of the L10 but never saw the MD80 out here (SEA) did see the MD90 a few times after the 727's went away

more my speed, mach tuck and all, CV880..................................................so I am an old fart
12/28/2011 9:56:53 PM
Dad flew the 880 as an FE,and as a copilot. Said the cockpit was somewhat weird,but sure was FAST. Still holds the National speed record across the US. Flew on those many times.
I miss those times,when flying was a thrill in itself.

Lol, that's a good one. I have a "If its not Boeing, I'm not going" sticker on my locker at the tower. Always gets comments from people...
12/29/2011 5:18:41 AM
Having flown the B727, B777, and the A310/300-600. I would have to say Boeing makes a much better airplane
12/29/2011 9:13:10 AM
I started my career at Delta working B727 overhaul in TOC 1. I much prefer Boeing aircraft over McDonnell Douglas.

Man, I miss the old Delta livery (80's & early 90's).
All the "new" paint schemes look somehow less attractive.
Cheatlines FTW.

Ha!
I'll have to use that when I look at FDTs

To be fair, your airline's A300/A310s are some of the biggest pigs of their type in the world.

True, but even the lipstick doesn't help.

I think one of the A300s is an old Pakistan Airlines International aircraft that was functionally abandoned...

Could be, I know some of them came from Korea and they were rough.
1/4/2012 4:25:58 PM
Much as I hate to admit it, the last couple trips I took in an Airbus 320 were quite pleasant. Not as nice an the old DC9 (my all time favorite) but certainly nicer than cramming myself into an RJ.

In the company's defense, they will spend the money to make them right. It just takes awhile to get all the bugs worked out when the plane hits the line. Still, an old Boeing is better than an old Airbus.

Airbus pilots don't have anything between their legs.

Further proof of Boeing's superiority:
Airbus has never made a successful line of helicopters.

That's owned by Airbus' parent company, so that only sort of counts.

I view it as comparable to everything Boeing fields being from an acquired company.

You are thinking in terms of the Boeing/MD merger?

And Vertol being Piaseki.
And the Osprey being a joint venture with Bell Textron.

While technically true, and the Vertol series of aircraft were initially designed under the Piasecki/Vertol name, their final development and acceptance were after Boeing was in charge.
I won't acknowledge the Osprey part, I choose to live in a fantasy world where that abortion was never invented.
But your point is valid.
Of course, the 107-II and the 234 are technically not Boeing anymore......
