We have a winner! Who cares about D0 anyways and if we block out a couple minutes behind? The gate agents? That's great- let them do their dance and code it as "checklist." Let's get there on time- that's what counts.


Nothing like sitting in a 757, A320, or DC-9 still running both engines waiting on numbers. Checked that box off numerous times.

I remember a NW 757 guy a few years back before I came over to DL describing to me in detail how the 757 is too large of an airplane to single engine taxi. Then I got here and found out that the breakaway power for dual and single is identical.

Sometimes what you first thought was the right way may not be the right way. To be fair, that goes for fDL, too.
