We had a 737-100

Wow. I start ground school for either the CRJ-200 or 737-800 on 10/20 (training still hasn't decided which one yet because the sim for the CRJ may or may not be ready). The 100 must have been a real pilot's airplane.

Aside from its dispatch problems, the pilots liked it because it had the 737-200 advanced engines on it, and it had a lot more oomph. Whenever I flew it out of Oakland (provided it was working and I didn't have to nonrev on Southwest), I always noticed little things, like overspeed on landing, odd landing gear noises, flap noises.

Thankfully Stage 3 restrictions made the plane not worth the upgrade.

Who you working for, CO?

BTW, here is old 708 in its better days:
