|  Hey Doug So, sitting on a MD90 last night out of SLC, the capt comes on and says "uhh... folks we cant seem to get the master warning to stop beeping." So DAL maintenance folks come and tear the upper panel of the deck off and are inspecting wires and electricals. He then comes on any says "Okay folks, we found a bad relay that needs to be fixed. Our mechanics think they can fix it ..." 1 hour later .. "Folks, we have bad news. There is not another aircraft for us to fly.." 2 hours later.. The flight deck looks like it was just coming off the assembly line. I've never seen so many electrical wires, ect. "Folks, looks like our mechanics fixed it. We're ready to rock and roll" So my DAL flight was kinda long being that I spent 2 hours in a B seat next to some 300 pounder that kept coughing up a lung. Also, whats the final approach speed in the MD90?

They can range from the mid 120's up to the 150's I think. It varies fairly wildly which is why, after seven years flying the -88/90 I really have no idea. I think we were about 142 knots this morning into SLC. Depends heavily (pardon the pun) upon weight, what the wind is doing and whether you're using flaps 28 or 40. Now the no flap/no slat abnormal configs can get interesting however.
