NWA Airbus/DC9 collision...

[Dinger]

In-flight partial Hydraulic failure, landed normally. Shut down one engine on taxi -- the one powering the remaining hydraulics. Pilot starts to taxi, suddenly realizes no brakes. Thinking on his feet, he decides to go full reverse. Without hydraulics, the thrust reversers stay where they are.

I see the DC9 has a new Airbus braking system.

I must admit the DC9 / MD80 / Boeing 717 is not an airplane I'm really comfortable on.  While I was at an airline in the far east they had 717's and had two total hydraulic failures due to failures of main hoses.

That cant be right.

Boeings dont go wrong.

Let me bring you back up to speed.

Airbus = bad.

Boeing = good.

It may help you remember if you learn this hilarious little rhyme: -

"if its not Boeing.... i'm not going" !!!

I've had the most comfortable flights on DC9-series (including MD80). Not so much because of the non-existant luxuries, like in todays planes, but because it was comfortable to ride when the plane was either climbing or descending. The worst has been MD-11 and DC-10 (both basically the same), because each bloody time my ears are having a bad day when the plane begins the final descent.

Unfortunately I have no comparative experience with any of the airbusses, small jets or boeings.

Good man.  It is time to step up and fight this moronic tool brought to the Internet by the evil empire.
It is a solemn dream, where computers all over the world are free from this plague.  Free to roam without fear of malicious software planting itself in our computers.  Free to open a WEB page without unknowingly giving up private information.
Such feedom comes at a price.  But none can be too high.  This war must be fought on all fronts, with great fervor and tenacity.  Through this clicking, back button use, and mouse overs we will persevere.  
I hope to live to see the day where man and computer can transfer data without fear of this plague infesting the core of our very being.

Rise you stalwarts of humanity.  Rise against the coad!  Thrust yourselves into the mire.  Pull yourselves out of harm's way and deny all that is ActiveX!!


Oh, and I like the DC9/MD80, except for the belly-flop landings they have a tendency to do.
