DL was trying to dump CR2s the last I'd heard. Delta's last investors call said they were trying to have 125 CR2s in the near future so they're still planning on having some around.

They already got all those 717s in service. In fact don't they nearly have every MD-90 and 717 in the world currently in service? They'll have to go back further for their new old short haul planes now. Maybe they still have their DC-9-50s laying around.

For the most likely ones you'll be able to convert it delta credit minus the $200ish change fee. E isn't refundable, Y is full fare and refundable. B and M won't have the change fee.

Butt Reactor posted:I never taught multi engine, but hearing the horror stories from my MEI friends doesn't shock me. One time at night one student was setting up to land on the lighted street [i]perpendicular[i/] to the airport rather than the runway. I guess the cars on the road didn't clue him in? Perpendicular? How does that work? I can understand parallel, in fact delta has proved that 757s can land on parallel taxiways without a problem! Speaking of Delta, I'm stuck in Narita for another 4 hour because apparently the incoming flight was struck by lightning and they need to inspect it. I can't decide whether a 3 hour delay seems too long or short for that - what exactly are they checking?

azflyboy posted:The accident aircraft was built in 1987, and since the photos of the damage look like there may be damage to the main wing spar (in addition to the fuselage possibly being bent from sitting on the seawall, and having to completely replace the left wing), there's a very good chance Delta will just scrap the airframe. American and Allegiant are the only other airlines still running the MD-80 series in the US, and seeing as American is slated to retire their MD-80's by 2018 due to age and fuel costs (Allegiant only uses the MD-80 because they're stupidly cheap used), I can't imagine Delta would spend the money to repair an airplane that's almost 30 years old and isn't terribly fuel efficient. Fuel economy? Age of air frame? Since when did Delta care about those factors?

He's looking at a BSIT there which does have a programming concentration but only looks to have a data structures course as far as theory of computation goes. That will be looked down on by employers when you are trying to get your first programming job. If you want to do server administration stuff check out if those classes include the certs.

Is there any reason for which side on a DC-9 derivative has 3 seats or do airlines flip a coin when they get them? Like delta's MD-88s are 3-2, and the 717s and I think MD-90s are 2-3.

PT6A posted:As is my understanding, Canada only requires an ATPL to fly as the captain of a multi-pilot aircraft, not an FO (that can be done with CPL + type rating), and we haven't seen a massive explosion in crashes caused by inexperienced FOs. Whether you will be a competitive applicant for an F/O job with a fresh CPL is another matter entirely, of course. All of this in response to an incident in which the captain, not the FO, was too busy talking to the FO about cold remedies to fly the drat plane.

azflyboy posted:From what I've read, the A320 actually touched down about 1,000 ft before the runway threshold (collapsing the gear somewhere along the line), and then slid for about 2,000ft before coming to a stop on the runway. There was a snowstorm in progress at the time, but the ceiling and visibility were reported as being slightly above the approach minimums, so it'll be interesting to see what the probable cause ends up being. They were apparently flying a NDB approach in a snowstorm with 1/2SM visibility. That seems insane, but I'm not instrument rated...
