This is no laughing matter.

As of now we have more airframes coming in than going out. CS is mostly an RJ replacement. Look for the company to convert options to CS300 which would replace a small number of MD88s. There will be another RFP this fall for aircraft type to replace MD88. MD90 will be in the fleet much longer than the 88s.
Eyebrow windows for "celestial navigation"... OMG I damn near peed myself laughing when I read that. They're for visibility, yes, but not "celestial navigation".

Realistically, what's out there, that you guys already don't fly? Answer: Nothing.
I guess the RFP will between the 737-10, vs A321Neo?

The 747 still has a two position switch for the beacon "Both/Lower." I'm told it's left over from back in those days.

Considering there are sub 2 year CA awards for both the 717 and 320, and nearly 2 year CA awards for the 737, yes there will be.

If we still had the sextant port, it'd give you something to do in cruise at least.
I mean why not learn celestial navigation when you have nothing better to do?

Subject to change daily for the next decade of course.

Those will be the mainline version of those idiots at ASA that upgraded extremely fast and "I don't know what you guys are complaining about. This place is great!"

AA is extending some Super 80s until 2019 now. Reminds me of the bumper sticker "don't laugh, it's paid for".

I bought a well weathered 1942 vintage book on the subject in a used book store in Kona.
I bet it could tell some stories.

Story is, the 88s cover their costs by the 3rd-4th of each month. Every day after that is pure profit.

There's around 15-20 guys who got 190 captain at AA under a year and are still on the plane. I know I'm holding out for the left seat of the 73 before the 190 goes away. The timing should work out.
The window closed on the 190 quick upgrade a a little while back so it's not nearly as widespread as at DL.
