Apparently 30 years ago is "recently".

Considering the practice generally went away in the 60s (with the exception of Russia), and AA kept it well into the 90s, I'd say that's fairly recent.

95+ years of tradition, unheeded by progress.

Don't forget the hand motion that was involved with the gear up call. Been there since the DC2, only taken out of the training manual recently.

I don’t see it too much in CLT, but occasionally I do.

Same....its a muscle memory thing more than anything else so I try to not let it bother me. Most guys try not to do it now, but I am sure there is something I do that has driven someone bonkers but I hope not!

You can pick up cross division in DOTC for PM/PR (premium makeup/premium reserve) Not sure about MU (makeup, basically straight time) but at this point why would you since everything is going premium. You cannot pickup cross division in TTS.
