NW DC9 from 89.

Cool video, like looking at a time capsule.

I sat in a DC-9 jumpseat once. We took off from DTW, and landed in EWR, and I have no idea what happened in-between or how we got there. Everything that was happening was foreign to me.

God ... 30 years ago ...

Watching the video my thoughts drifted to a long-gone time and different world.

It was awesome. Thank you.

Back when the gauges were steam and the captains were Hank Buck.

Just watched the first bit, funny hearing them “communist red tailed 727, red book one year captain.” The more things change...

 

[///AMG]

that was actually pretty entertaining. CA in the first scene really has a nice mop on his head that would make the Don jealous.

I didn't know that they had GoPro's back then.

That’s because you’re a hack.

Despite the MEM airport looking exactly the same.

Theres a lot of subtle gems in here that are awesome. Things that wouldnt "fly" today but where apparently the norm from everything ive heard. FA sitting in the jumpseat filming, 100 feet prior to touchdown "you do want the gear down dont you boss?", etc etc

Only if they could update their charts by pressing "update"

Oh, there’s a couple people that transitioned from bitching about chart updates to bitching about having to press the “update” button and how there are so many, they’re forced to do them at home (???) and the company should pay for their broadband and time spent updating.

Finally got through it all. Fun watch, pretty cringey.

Interesting moment while they were in line waiting to take off. A NWA 727 sits on the runway for a long time with a takeoff clearance and DL has to go around. F/O says "Ah, that's too bad". Then they discuss why the 727 would sit so long and kind of allude the pilots have low morale. (think labor issues). If they only knew DL was going to buy them some years down the road...

You missed the part where they were "reading the checklist"

Am I the only one who couldn't get by the high pitched camera/video sound?

It was in key with my tinnitus so I didn’t really notice lol

Could be worse. We still have people that can't even bother themselves to ever hit the update button at any point in time. Many people have been pulled off the line for something so basic...

 

[Skåning]

All I heard was an insane buzzing sound, couldn't make it past the first minute. Bummer cus it looked like a good video

 

[bretthullrampage]

Man, that looks like way too much work.
