FAO Dummy Pilot
On Jan 26 I will be going KSTL ==> KATL ==> KBHM, returning Jan 30.
I will be checking out liveries and aircraft that are very familiar to you. Along with notes for flight reports, I will be photographing the beverage service and watching the pre-takeoff flap deployment.
Is there any chance that I will get to experience genious airmanship from the NSGPOTM?
If so, is there a chance I can buy you a fish dinner beforehand?
Please respond if I need to supply times or flight numbers.

Please photograph any non-gay hosties, and oblige.
Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
I fear that the odds of having a good looking hostie are less than the odds of Dummy or a colleague forgetting the flaps.Please photograph any non-gay hosties, and oblige.

Make sure he stays away from Rwy 18 at Birmingham, if night and/or IMC.

Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
Strangely enough, you miss me by one day. I'm flying into BHM on the 31st for a short layover and flying out on the 1st at O' dark forty five. It's a garbage 3 day trip that starts onthe 30th and I've been trying to dump it for weeks, but can't find anything to replace it. The only saving grace is that I have the prior 10 days off, and after the trip I start vacation (always bid for Super Bowl vacation). On the 30th I go TPA via DTW, but If I find myself in ATL for a reroute, I''ll drop a quick PM.
Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
Another near miss...
A few years ago, you dropped in on STL during a snow and (unknown to me at the time) I got to watch you taxi out for your FO to do the takeoff.
Watching you maneuver down the taxiways and line up on the runway was a thing of incredible beauty.

Total weather disaster!!!
I bet your plans have changed.
Mine have changed by 1 day, ~36000 feet and several hundred knots.
Fortunately I photographed the drink service on the way over.

Flight Report
STL-ATL
Takeoff flaps were set before any forward movement. Hosties- 1 attractive, 2 average, 1 pretty senior. The captain (Bill?) seemed like he wanted to work for Southwest, he cracked a number of jokes, "ok, we’ve taxied the first mile, there’s only 473 to go, Corby’s flying the big jet this leg, the computer has us for 1 hour and one minute, Corby say’s he’ll do it in an hour even"…They even powered up on the taxiway and did the SWA sweeping, accelerating 60-degree turn onto runway 29 instead of a square-get the full length and hang the tail back over the threshold type of runway entry. The weather was interesting: a moderate amount of clouds around, but for the most part, we had good views of the ground. Got a great view of the Ohio-Mississippi confluence, Paducah, KY and Kentucky and Barkley lakes. The autopilot was goofy and on two occasions had us oscillating nose up-nose down on about a 3-second period. It was gentle, but you could feel it and it ran upwards of 10 cycles.
ATL-BHM
I had never noticed this before but the STL-ATL plane had two seats on the left, three on the right whereas the ATL-BHM plane had three on the left, two on the right. (I figure they probably rotate them during major maintenance times/sarcasm) Takeoff flaps were set before any forward movement. Hosties were rather nominal. The flight was 26 minutes. We climbed for 9 minutes, cruised for about 2 minutes and spend the rest of the time working down. We landed on 20-something. It was night and I could not see a whole lot, but it seemed we were dipping below some terrain off to the right…
General comments- after some recent unpleasant flights on a tightly configured 757, I have to compliment Delta and their newer thin seats and seat pitch. Don’t get me wrong- it wasn’t roomy but at least I fit as opposed to some more recent 757 rides. The MD-80 also was smooth and quiet!
The return was “immediately” after the “snowstorm” that “destroyed” both Atlanta and Birmingham- Delta was listing the flights as “on time”…however flightaware was showing minimal traffic out of ATL…around four hours before flight time, the cancellation came…got to go home by driving.

Re: Flight Report
Don't suppose you noticed that one of those airplanes was considerably quieter?ATL-BHM

Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
Maybe the MD-90 from STL was quieter than the -88...But where you sit has an even bigger influence on what you hear and I was over the wing vs. behind the wing on the two flights so I cannot say with any certainty.
What's the right answer?

Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
The right answer is that when you can tell an MD-90 from an MD-88, maybe you can think about lecturing me on the Space Shuttle. Or anything else.Maybe the MD-90 from STL was quieter than the -88...But where you sit has an even bigger influence on what you hear and I was over the wing vs. behind the wing on the two flights so I cannot say with any certainty.

Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
I really liked the livery and I guess one of the planes was markedly quieter than the other.No.

Re: FAO Dummy Pilot
This Sunday (March 16) KSTL ==> KRDU, Mid day departure.
You know the livery and the stop over.
However, at this time, I have not checked the aircraft types...they are sometimes RJ's or Boeings
Regardless of the type, flap usage will be monitored; however, I think I'll forego the drink-service photography this time.
@Flyboy- I will return 3/17 via another carrier with the aircraft likely being RJ's.
Ok, time to go shoot some landings on MSFS with an MD-80...

Practice with RJ's, in case you are needed in the cockpit for a heroic emergency landing if the pilots get drunk and/or naked and/or running.
