On an MD80 now. Booked a connection and this flight to get one last run before they retire.

Will miss this bird a lot. Best domestic FC seat, quiet ride up front. Also mildly nostalgic as I first made EP 8 years ago, barely out of college on this bird.

While there is criticism about the lack of power and IFE, the same can be said for the entire LUS fleet too. Give me an MD80 over an a319 any day( which has the double whammy of being ugly as well)
