Swiss DC9s

Flew them and was shocked at no carry forwards in the tech logs after coming from a flag carrier where the captain spent the best part of ten minutes reading through the tech log in first class with pages of carry forward defects often with no spares available.
Nothing but praise for the Swiss engineers but a pity they were overruled with the entertainment system for the MD11 and outside contractors were used. Their winching the system cables through was the reason for the loss of SR111.
