Merry Christmas Boyz!
PS Has anybody flown immediately after losing their crew ID? Yep, lost mine and looks like I'm heading out.

Buzz,
The LAX 73N category is pretty laid back. After 9-11, I got pretty much the full system tour of DAL: I bounced from DFW-LAX-SLC-MCO-ATL-SLC and finally back to LAX. All of the guys that I flew with were pretty laid back, but the LAX 73N Captains set the standard for being relaxed. Another bonus is that in a category this size you often the know the guys you fly with. I also set the stab trim - aren't we supposed to? Then again I never had a captain complain or question me about it and I am also ignorant on the whole "Fletch issue." Of course I am one of the few, the proud, who use the 'Very Seldom" button, AKA VS, AKA vertical speed.
