So FTB & 80ktsClamp are going 88=> Airbus, and I'm doing the reverse, Airbus=>88.

Just finished the CBT's, seems like a couple extra switch hits to do the same thing...
When I first got on the 88 14 years ago, someone told me the following:

On the 767, you press one button and it does three things. On the 88, you press three buttons and it does one thing.

Hey, I've been off the 88 for almost 2 years now (probably will be going back soon). But I've got 8,000 hours on the airplane. A few years ago when I was flying with a lot of new hires on the 88, I wrote a "tips and tricks" document. It's nothing earth shaking... just some helpful tips and a few gotchas to avoid, mainly line operational kind of stuff. Anyway, if you want it PM me and I can email it to you. Disclaimer: Since I've been off the airplane now for a while, I take no responsibility for anything in that document that might be in conflict with something that's changed since I left.
