If I hear ATC tell me there's departure delays out of new York due to radar outage, you're gonna hear me on the radio asking what taxiway I can shut down engines at to save gas. gimme a heads up so I can start em up and get my checklists done. FO and I are gonna start calculating EDP, doing pay math and watching the printer for a reroute.
Side note: shout-out to HK for his streak of reasonably good arguments
Thanks Meme. As I've posted here before, I think most of us are in the 95% of agreement on most things. We tend to get a bit bold here online, however, in the aircraft when we BS, it seems that most of us are all in the same ball park. My apologies for all my posts lately, it's way more than I normally make day to day. But I'm home sick. Caught something on my last trip and have been out for like the last 7+ days. My wife is calling me the snot monster. Uuugghh.
