FBH, I agree with your statement. But how often are we north of 60N, i.e. north of Anchorage? How many hours per month are you north of 60N AND above FL350? I will bet that's not too often. But your point is well made and worthy or consideration.
However, my reply to Dakota was based on his statement which was that ANYTIME we were at or above FL370 the captain was a "knucklehead." I think my response was more directed at his lack of communication skills. I'm sure he'll make a great captain.
