What gets me is the thrust reverser hand "switch". I picture my two strongest crosswind landings (DAY and LGA) during the winter. If I take my hand off that yoke for one second we are drifting off the side of the runway. And if I don't deploy those reversers, stopping is going to be very interesting.

Bash away people.

BTW, if you do get hired at a regional, I want to be the first to know. Because I am going to buy you a steak dinner and watch you eat it with my foot in my mouth!
