"Sextant port" sounds like a fancy term for a glory hole

Just when you couldn’t get even more fancy!

This is why you're not tier 1.

Keep up the good work.

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

IIRC, the retirement delay was to pick up some flying from the regionals because of pilot shortages.

The problem with the Mad Dogs isn't because of their efficiency, it's the fact that the parts supply chain has dried up for them.

Initially yes, but its been extended out further just because of the low cost of flying a paid for airplane.

American just needs to do what Delta is doing for parts. Buying the Super 80s AA parks and parting them out.

Oh, wait...

2020 for 88s, 2025 for 90s

Don't worry, ya'll still have MD95s.

Mad Dogs are here to stay. And when they're completely worn, torn and beat up, Allegiant will buy them from you.

That's not a maddog. That's an angry puppy.

Handles like a dump truck, but I like that lil' pup.

And they’re so noisy that some New York politicians, including U.S. Senate Minority LeaderChuck Schumer, cheered when Delta recently pulled the planes from New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

They cheered that the MD88 left LGA? How cute. Do they cheer at the absolute dump from the 60s that is LGA? Until recently, no changes or improvements to the airport. It literally is a dump.

Calling that place vile is an insult to the vile.

Hasn't Allegiant used up the majority of the JT8D-2xx engines and parts?

Well at the rate they pop them...

*WOOSH*

A friend of mine used to fly a plane with a sextant hole. Apparently they'd crack it open to vent the cabin when someone farted.

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.

When the NKs pop an EMP, all the Airbii and Boeings are gonna crash. I, conversely, will watch the electronic part of the airplane die, shrug, say, "Look! It did it again." And happily motor on in analog mode.

Same for my old legacy Herk.
