OMG, how true!! 😂 Gotta love "text-a-tech" to get the tribal knowledge on some of the idiosyncrocies of this weird old bird! It has its temperaments, but it can be a fun airplane to fly most of the time. It's definitely a character-builder, & you'll feel nostalgic for her when we've transitioned to an all-Bus fleet. I do look forward to better scheduling opportunities when my particular base goes single-fleet!

Examples: windshear test not working, turn on the hydraulic pumps to raise the flaps and slats. Autothrottles just kick off and one engine is coming back, turn on the anti-ice.......
