Probably still had the same ratty interior they did when I rode them to and from college 10 years ago. Back when beagle still had slaabs and ATRs.
I remember Beagle when they had Shorts 330s and Skyvans back in the day.

Btw, in my picture, as well as many retired AA 727s and DC-10s I've seen, they all have the red stripe on the fuselage painted blue, resulting in two blue stripes and one white one. Is this a requirement AA has in addition to removing the "American" name off the fuselage, for retiring aircraft?
Think it was probably more like,
"Brakes set, cleared to disconnect........ WHAD'JA DOOOOOO!!!"

If you're referring to the title of the thread then "less" is still technically correct in the context in which it was used. From your own link:
One Less Complaint
Using the “singular or plural” rule also explains another “exception.” People often think phrases such as one less banana are wrong because you can count bananas, but one less banana is correct because it is singular and you use less with singular nouns.
One less banana and similar phrases put you in a tricky situation because they are correct, but many people think they are wrong. For example, I got grammar-related complaints after Gardasil launched its “one less person affected with HPV” ads because many people thought it was grammatically incorrect. Therefore, I recommend avoiding the construction whenever possible. It’s better to rewrite your sentence than to have people think you’ve made a mistake or to knowingly use the wrong word by writing one fewer X. You really can’t win whether you write one less banana or one fewer banana. So rewrite. Instead of telling your caterer We need one less banana in the fruit bowl, avoid the controversial sentence by asking her to Take one banana out of the fruit bowl.

It's an MD-88 (or a Super 80 excuse me). She'll be back in the air in no time.
It's a shame they don't build airplanes that tough anymore. A little high and still doing 280 KIAS? "Slats and an easy 11, no problem." What's flaps 1 speed on the Airbus 220 KIAS or something? The Fischer Price speed brakes will get you there eventually don't worry.

The 727's in Artesia have the same redline painted over. I'm sure there is something to it.
It wasn't supposed to say "ducking".

The first time I pushed back after IOE, the tug started to push, but we didn't go anywhere. Thankfully, the tug driver was smarter than me, and quickly stopped as soon as he felt resistance. After releasing the parking brake, everything worked out fine.
