Oh, and Merry Christmas to everyone!!
and Happy Festivus too
I spent a lot of time in the jumpseat of NW 757s in between LGA and DTW when I was flying the MD-88 (about a year before the merger was announced), so when I went to 767 school I was calling it "Felch" like I was used to hearing.
"We call it flight level change here, son"
"okay then... I'm on probation still.... whatever you say!"
767 school at Delta was not very good... very little in the books as far as actual stuff that is normally done on the line and even worse systems manuals. It's like it was barely come out of the dark ages of the good ol' boy flying. The other two schools I've been through were much much better... 73N school was absolutely fantastic.
Merry Christmas, all!
