Ah, the cruise pictures. As I was with my wife there are no pictures of the women. Since my wife is a pillar of the community I cant post the pictures if her. Let me see if I can improvise.

Not my wife but a pretty good facsimile.

There www two types of women on this cruise. Those that looked like my wife, like the example above, and those that looked like the marine life.

I can't post any actual pictures of the women cuz I was with my wife for Pete's sake.

PS I enter 9s, unless the capt is a bonehead, then I enter 6s:D

Your right, no DBMS access for the fNWA FAs sense. I'm sure that won't change till the union thingie is worked out.

Ferd, From what I have been told, and as far as I can tell, that ACARS TO/ LDG data goes absolutely nowhere. I don't think there is a link between the ACARS and our landing currency in DBMS. I could be wrong. I just keep it updated in DBMS every now and then.

Oh your right, it does go nowhere. Why we enter a bogas number in the summary page.

I was talking about someday, like the old days:D

Oh OK. Gotcha. So that's why all my FO's enter 6's. :eek:

Just put the data in there, but make sure your FO's update DBMS.

You enter an employee number of some value, whatever you like, for takeoff. By doing so you allow flight operations engineering to distinguish between an actual normal power takeoff by the crew and an ACARS pre-programmed default. Why just typing in a value under "T/O PWR" doesn't do that I do not know, but that's the explanation given in section SP 5-31 of the 76/75 volume 1.

Most just stick in a one or a two for the A or B t/o and or ldg.

Why?

"Apparently there was a big meeting with RA yesterday and he wants to re-emphasize on-time performance."

There is not a bulletin out for the 330 and a few of the aircraft, so put the info out and change the FPS2 flight plan to reflect the new cost index of 100.
