The category varies a lot for sure, but the company is really talking like it'll plunge forever and ever after this summer. 757 retirement numbers imply that it certainlly could.

Heh. I flew with a well known guy who gave the FAs a 20 minute brief. Every time. From DTW-ATL.

After the second leg like this, I warned the FAs to grab a seat during the brief as it would be long... while I chose that time for preflight.

"But... it's in lower case letters... that's an action, not a callout. You're trying to make this into SOPA/SMAC. It's not. How you verify it is up to you, as long as you are verifying that you're in the right place and the runway is in the box."

"ITS NOT IN THE BOOK. YOU SAY VERIFIED."

It was like that for literally everything. As I'm sitting over there like:


Sadly they're not all in the left seat

Just flew with an anal retentive Marine. Like your guy, he was just plain wrong about quite a few of the minutia he tried to enforce. He's gonna be on a lotta no-fly lists when he upgrades.
