Also, be thin. No fat. The CP is too small. If you have a hefty partner, his or her stuff will be in your stuff. And don't hold hands across the center console. It happens...and its not pretty.

Its like bunking on summer camp...only you won't be at summer camp.

I'm enjoying it so far. The throw switches are fun, still a bit confused by what bleed needs to be where in each permutation, but I've got the main ones down.

I'm reminded why I like our "big bubble" procedures so much... For each flow, pick a good start point and end point and work out what your hand likes to do best.

ESV is this friday- I really like that they put all the quoted answers from the books on the LOD now. It cut a good week off of my study prep.


I'll keep that in mind about the landing! Is the 700 the same way or more floaty?

You know me all too well... Still not satisfied with my LOD knowledge yet tonight. I'll hit the sack when I'm happy.

No, I'm not OCD.... not at all...

Well that widget does point Northwest.

I know we are code sharing with Alaska for west coast feed, but does it bother anyone else that they are also flying ATL-SEA? And on top of that they are parking them at B-35 with all the Delta planes. It's bad enough seeing all the regional jets on A and B now, but to see an Alaska 737 there now kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Quick question....... I have a June conversion to a new category. I am scheduled to finish training (except OE) on June 20th. So what does a conversions actually mean and when do I start my new pay rate?

Thanks
