But hey, all DAL cares about is cheap feed...
If I remember correctly, those switchlights aren't actually operating the boost pumps, they are basically arming the low pressure sensors to fire the boost pumps if low pressure is detected.
You haven't flown the plane in how many years and you still remember that? Impressive.
ASA 's procedure is to turn off both boost pump switches on during single. Leaving the operating engine boost pump switch on accomplishes the same thing since there is no low pressure sensed.
I've jumpsat on a Mesa 700 and I noticed they use the boost pump switch on operating engine technique .
