I like it...

The only time I ever have ever bounced a landing here at Delta it had to be William Shatner on board on the 88.

He gave me hell. I just bowed my head and took my lumps.

Now the 88 is a fantastic landing airplane and to an extent I enjoy it more than the 757 which was a great landing plane. But it was during that first 100 hours when you kind of over think the landings as you and the airplane come to terms and we've been great friends ever since.

But I'm sure next time William Shatner is on board my plane I'll bounce it. I'll blame it on him to his face then.

BTW, he rode in coach.

North South runway

After taking abuse for a while after one particular howler, I told the next commenter that considering the north/south runway and the cross wind, I over compensated for the earth's rotation. He walking away scratching his head telling the person next to him that he never realized flying was that hard.

Gotta love the 88. Everyone in first class thinks it was great, but the guy in row 37 says you musta been in the navy!

I just smile. I had a lady once who wouldn't let it go. Just kept harping and harping about how horrible it was (Circle to 29 in EWR with gusty NW winds). I waved my hand towards the cockpit and said, "You're welcome to try it." She didn't say anything else after that.
