Delta Upgrade Time Vol. II

@Seggy, if your talking about what I think you're talking about regarding the mirrors, I had you all wrong.
I would like to buy you a beer.

The DC-9 was the same way.

Only those who are uber secure in their aviation skillz need apply. Or you got displaced. Or it was that or furlough.

Seriously. If you could handle the -9 going into LGA while doing the MLTON4, then you are uber-pro league, and may forever wear your U-boat commander coat with the top button undone as a symbol of your greatness.

ZNY: American standby one, I'll check with a DC-9 that's about three zero miles ahead of you. -- Break -- Northwest 1639, do you have a wind readout there at FL330?

NWA1639: [reaches across cockpit to grab flight plan and a pointer finger slides down the page to Flat Rock VOR, and then three columns to the right] We're showing 240 at, uh, 95 knots, sir.
 
Funniest thing I ever heard on the radio was one night at LGA we are all stopped due to weather and tower is asking for volunteers to be a pathfinder (this is obviously before Southwest started flying into there). They go through the first few airplanes (Airways Airbus, Delta Maddog, us in a CRJ and American in a 757) and get no takers. The next plane in line is is a Northwest DC9. Tower asks them and when there is a slight pause he says "I'd tell you that you can fly whatever heading you want to get out of here, but you do that every day anyway". I think a Republic 170 eventually volunteered and was kind enough to come back on the tower frequency from somewhere over the Hudson and tell us all to not bother as it sucked.

Now with 117 in effect, a pathfinder is still needed, but it's to pick a way through to get back to a gate.

Similarly to your story, they call back on overflow ground frequency from the east ramps area and advise everyone to stay put. 'Cause it sucks.

I miss the drawer on the -120/-145; with that thing sticking out into your face, you wouldn't forget that you were doing something like, I don't know, crossfeeding.

Regarding departing without the can on board, the solution to that is to make a very public example of someone who does it, then add "AIRCRAFT TAIL NUMBER - (___) CP/FO" to the before start, and carry on.

We put big, bold numbers that are about three inches tall on the can. It is also on our before start boxed items checklist.

Can, shman. I don't need it anyways. I looked at it. Nothing popped out at me, and I ain't writing anything up till I get back to the hub anyways. Ahh, I'm gonna make a great captain one day*
