If you've tried to fly an MD80 lately and were delayed for maintenance, it's a similar story.

Airline puts in Low bidder crap parts, 300 hours later the blades come off the turbine wheel.

I've been on one MD80 flight and I'll NEVER fly on one again. I'll walk first. That was one nightmare flight I never want to live through again, and that's said by someone who loves to fly.

The flight was crowded and we had no choice but to take the only seats left way in the rear. The fumes were over powering and even though there was no turbulence at all the noise from the rattling was deafening and you could see the seams in the cabin interior parting with the shaking.

One of the first things I ask when booking a flight now is 'what kind of plane is it?' If an MD80 is mentioned .....forget it!
