DL may order Airbus and Boeing jets

He is right, ac 620 and 621 are turds. Anything 62x or 63x or 64x are all turds

 

[robbedagain]

[yoyodyne]

Yeah. Original HP. #52 and #53 off the assembly line

One Thanksgiving week, HP wanted us to pull 84 pax off A/C 620 because of the load plan. We sent it empty, with only one bag, a bike for a dude racing in PHX that day. We forwarded all the bags on B757 both from DL and AA.

 

[robbedagain]

wow thats pretty bad esp for an aircraft that holds in excess of 100 pax what yr was that do you recall

According to Airfleets, they were originally with Braniff#2

620 is 23.9 years old and 621 is also 23.9 years old.

The east planes have cfm's and the west planes have v2500s. The v2500 a5 engines were fine, just the a1 models were trouble.

Now I'm in a world of just cfm-56 until the leap-1b arrives. Good engines, so it's not that bad...
