To get a slot on the DC-9 at TAA it would have been seniority based, but did you have go via the Fokker Friendship?
For an FO slot on the DC-9 what sought off experience would you have had in your logbook in the mid 1970's?
When TAA phased out the Fokker's in the early 1980's an instructor of mine went straight onto the DC-9, but another instructor got into Ansett started on the F27 Freighters.
After the war of 89, did any of Australian DC-9 crews get taken back on and retrained the B737 or B727?
