Not to assume but it's either because 320s require maintenance while Boeing and MD products never require maintenance or MELs, note sarcasm, or he's lost sight that mainline is better than rjs and to keep the big picture: 320 = job, CVG < DTW, be glad CVG is still there.
I mean this aint pre 9/11 and pre 2000, if you're a line mechanic and a plane needs afixin then that's job security. The more problems the better I'd think. But that's just me and I like paychecks even if it interferes with the Honorable Judge Judy.
But I'm assuming and don't mean to pick on one guy.

Anything is possible but I do not know if they would stick a new category in to CVG.

While you were using sarcasm, you'd be amazed what I've heard people say about the airbus (other pilots, mechanics, and flight attendants):
"I just don't want to fly an airplane where I'm not in control of it."
"Those are french made throw-away planes."
"we just need to park all of them...they break and are dangerous."
As I'm staring at them and about to ask them if they need a helmet to walk around safely...

Here's a quesiton, do you want to fly a plane that when something goes wrong the mechanic "Resets, Reracks or Replaces" in that order or one that the mechanic "Restrings, resquirts, retools, resodders, retwines, rebends, respools, retwists, retapes?"
I'm teasing. I just thought I was funny.
In a 1.5 years I've only had 1 88 go down that we had to swap aircraft to complete the flight and that was because the POS light was out and the problem wasn't in the wingtip but somewhere in the wing. The DC9 proved that the DC9 family love you long time, last long time, make you happy, happy ending. I don't believe his comments had anything to do with DAL versus NWA or being anti Airbus. I think he was stating the obvious that the 737 and M88 (which are based there) don't spend much time there, but the Airbus have as many or more overnights as the others combined.
My Captain on this last trip whose flown the L1011, 727, 738, MD11, 764, 767, M89, had this to say about the airbus: "man that thing is big on the inside. Widest seats I've ever seen. I wish they'd put it in ATL."

Meet the Incredible Hulk of HoundsBy REBECCA CAMBER
Last updated at 01:08 13 July 2007
This is Wendy, the dog whose appearance is a long way from the usual long, lean and sleek look of her breed.
She was born with a genetic defect which has left her looking like the Incredible Hulk of Hounds. While her head, heart, lungs and legs are the size of those of a normal whippet, her gene defect means she is "double muscled".
She weighs 4st4lb - twice as much as she should - and has bulging neck muscles, burly shoulders and haunches like a baboon. And unlike ordinary whippets known for their lithe and narrow frame, this four-year-old pedigree doesn't just have a sixpack stomach, she has a 24-pack.
Sadly, her mixed-up genes mean she may have a shorter life expectancy than most breeds.
But while she may look oddly menacing, her doting owner Ingrid Hansen claims the giant pooch likes nothing better than clambering up on to your lap to have her back scratched.
"People have referred to her as Arnold Schwarzenegger," she said.
"She's healthy and happy. That's all that counts.
"She doesn't know she's got a genetic defect. She might give you a nasty lick, that's all."
The whippet, who lives on a farm in Victoria, Canada, has been the subject of an American genetics study. Although the dogs are customarily bred for hunting, racing and showing, Wendy enjoys a slower pace of life.
She spends her days prowling around the fields, chasing other dogs and horses and sleeping on her owner's bed. This week the Daily Mail reported on another canine phenomenon, 19st10lb Samson. A cross between a Great Dane and a Newfoundland, the dog from Boston, Lincolnshire, is 37in at the shoulder and stands 6ft5in on his hind legs.

Climbing into the 737 cockpit is quite cramped for me these days. Bring on that stab trim runaway!

Any of you contract savvy posters out there know where the language regarding MD pay protection is located. Having scoured the contract myself I can only find the language in section 22, but that language seems to read that it only covers fNWA pilots.
Anyone?
