I would just be happy if people wouldn't turn all the screens down during an a/c swap.

On most fleets (meaning not the coolest, best, most amazing, awesomest, bestest, neatest plane ever built...the Airbus), it's a checklist item.

Other airlines I worked for, that was a standard call along with assuming that is where the transfer of control would also occur on the landing roll.

I am just gonna be happy when we change the verification process of the FMS. Whomever entered it in the box needs to read it out of the box while the other guy verifies it on paper.

Having used it for a year now, I have to say I actually kinda like it.

But, that’s the 737. I’m aware that more modern airplanes have electronic checklists. There’s no one size fits all solution.

Hopefully we can rip out the electronic mechanical checklists and reintroduce paper checklists.

And stop saying ‘stable’ and ‘target....’ for just doing our job. Or having to brief who’s flying after it’s already been decided?

Anyone hear about the newest invention in knives? The ones that only cut one way?

I thought the stable and target thing was beyond silly when I got hired at airways - bust supposedly it made their unstable approaches go way down. If it helps that then I’m all for it.
