Hmmmm... didn't you just start a thread about a new job? I think we are on to something.

or why DL calls their 80-series airplanes 88s.
Why is that?
It was the designator for the 80-series planes that McD made for DL. Nothing terribly special, cabin layout, etc.
Because it's an MD-88!
They share a common type rating with the DC-9 but have different instrumentation, engines, weights and a couple of different systems than AA's stooper 80's or NWA's diecel 9's.

That's a Stupid-80 or a Slug-80...

Put it ths way, I couldn't find his last name, or any reasonable spelling thereof, in DBMS or on any of the last three AE awards to 777B in ATL or NYC.
He's pretty lucky he wasn't talking to a real Delta pilot. Hell, we've got our own language.
"Yeah man, after CQ I went down to the speedline, then went over to OC3, got on DBMS and looked for swaps in the pot. Flew on a mad dog to Hooterville, then flew back to Slick City on an 8-hunnert. Did you bid anything on the last entitlement or you happy being the plug on the 90?"

I leave it in the hands of you guys that speak better airline than me, he sets off my BS detector big time, but from the way you all say that you can jump around aircraft to aircraft I guess I'm just not used to that. He seems to know his stuff but every once in a while somethings just don't get said right. I pm'd MDPilot and he said the guy is a no show so I will leave it at that.

Not to wander too much off-topic, but what IS the difference between the MD88 and MD80? Are there any distinctive ways to visually tell the difference?
A couple of "usually correct" methods:
Look for the 'screwdriver' tailcone. However AA's been retrofitting their stooper 80's with the more efficient screwdriver tailcone.
Almost MD-88s always have aft airstairs.
Length, at times. I think the MD-82's and MD-88's are the same length. I think some of AA's Super 80's are actually -82's, but don't quote me on that.
Another tell-tell sign? It's got a Delta widget!

And from the inside. It has glass. AA's don't. Just a lot of big round dials!

Lots of AA's 80s have the screwdriver cone. I think some of AA's 80s are 82s & 83s.... but don't quote me on that either!

You mean other than the fact that first class seats on AA 80's suck

Doug,
Do you know the purpose for the "screwdriver" tailcone? Hint: It isn't all aerodynamics.
