Dc9 Launch... 1 game day... 200 orders

[swiftus27]

Wow, JA4...  Within the span of 30 minutes, there have already been 185 orders for this plane. 

Doesn't this say to someone else that there simply is too much cash sitting out there?  I ordered 7 of these things (dont want to order too many for when the later models get announced).

Hype.

The BAC 111 is the better of the two ... Medium a/c (instead of Large) with better fuel burn and just 10 min slower on a 500nm route.

[swiftus27]

Not hype... people like to fly the same company's planes... dc8, dc9

Which doesn't hold any advantages whatsoever..

The DC-9-10 really isn't that good.

The extra 400nm range is enough for many.

Following this logic, does it makes sense then to order the Aérospatiale Concord just because you happen to also fly the Aérospatiale N262?  Aircraft manufacturer has no bearing whatsoever on fleet commonality in AWS.

dont get me started on that.

However, it should.

Therefore, you should support my suggestion for commonality points!

Yes, his idea!

Yes, his idea!

Which is based on swiftus' idea, which makes it his too in a sense!

You still haven't posted your opinion on my twist yet.

I know, my head hurts from the math.  I am a business banker, darn it... all I do is calculate cash flow coverages...

I wish I got to calculate cash flow coverages. Instead, I get to sit in school and attempt to understand college level calculus (which usually doesn't work)

And you will never need it, either... that is if you are in the finance world.   I am done with my 7 year stint in college.  No more, thank you.

Nope, aerospace engineering. Pretty soon, I'll be designing the planes that end up on this site

but I sincerely hope calculus is useless, because I'm failing miserably at it.

[ArcherII]

Prepare for calculus then, I did AE and for the first 2 years got hammered pretty nasty. I'm sure you'll end up liking it

If only we didn't have an age limit on frames... I'd love to fly around a fleet of DC-9-50's in 2015 in an MT scenario..

Even better, fly a Breguet 763 after Boeing 763 comes out. Oh the confusion

Trust me Bob, brush up on the calculus (and the Fourier series, differential equations, Laplace transforms). You will need them.

Where do you hope to study?
