With 88 on lease you'll be flying them a lot more. The up gauge is real, our management basically sees what Delta does and has us model it out. There is serious talk that we will buy B6s ERJ 190s and use them like DL to replace 50 sweaters.

Love an MD88.

You always feel like such a bitch pulling up in ATL in your little CRJ coke can out of BTR with 767s and the like passing by.

The MD-88 is a great plane but those JT8D engines are way too fuel inefficient, DL has done a good job limiting them to shorter stage lengths and AA is retiring as fast as they can.
It's all headed towards a duopoly. Sorry Bombardier.

I hate the 90 and the 88
Stop putting me on those
Still better than an Airbus though

Two ugly arse aircraft, but i'll take the CR in a fight..

Why do you hate the MDs? Crews hate the 90 cause the galley is too small for a 4 person cabin crew, but i always enjoyed riding on them... Though I never had to sit in the way back.

The UA Airbuses>>>>>>legacy CO Boeings. DL is stuck with those old NW Airbuses, so,e of the first to come off the production lines.

Because it means I am not on a 757

717/MD80s may be a lot of things--the small, swept wings can make for a bumpy ride--but it's definitely not an ugly aircraft.
Hell, MD11s were an abysmal failure that should've gone directly to cargo, but those are some good lookin' planes, man.

Out of BTR? There are 0 people in first class on my outbound and inbound flight.
Posted on 2/16/15 at 10:32 pm to The Boat
How is that even possible? No medallions and no purchases? I'm calling shenanigans
Posted on 2/16/15 at 10:35 pm to BACONisMEATcandy
I'm sure someone will upgrade
I'm riding a huge hot streak so I may do it.

I fly out on a CRJ 200 on Sunday out of AEX. Already been upgraded for my ATL leg though
Posted on 2/17/15 at 6:33 am to The Boat
Yep out of BTR. The 1206p flight
Posted on 2/17/15 at 6:37 am to The Boat
717 all day long. More comfortable and you don't have to valet check your bags.
Posted on 2/17/15 at 6:40 am to The Boat
717 all day over the CRJ
Those wonderful flying machines has safely taken and carried me many places.

I am interested to fly the 717 out today. I almost exclusively fly out of MSY but wanted to try my diamond status from BTR. My biggest concern is the limited number of flight options rather than that aircraft.
