Managed speed and activate approach, it will do green dot. Throw out flaps 1, it’ll do S speed. Throw out flaps 2 and 3, it’ll do F speed. Final flaps full, it’ll do Vref.
What do you mean “it goes below 1.3 VSo”?
Green dot disappears with selection of flaps 1.

I wonder if they want people to quit because there is no new flying till at least summer or later. Better to have us quit than deal with a furlough.
And what will they do when they have 80 reserve captains in LA? December they have more Seattle reserve captains than line holders.
