Hilariously, he got an airplane stuck in the mud at an airport some time ago after blindly following the taxiway centerline, despite the fact that our manuals mention the need for intentionally oversteering to keep the mains on pavement in some situations.
Please tell me this is TH...if so, then yes...def TOTD material.

I used to give him the "Next Leg Undefined Checklist" when a 'No Link' was NXT in the box (it pops up as a message, I'm sure you know). It's in the redbook...and if we're going to be exactly standard, well, then he was going to read every checklist I could call for.
