Denny,
My few, aging memory cells are used for other things. Like why I already forgot the leads name, when she or he just told it to me 3 minutes ago.
Plus, you have to remember we had and still have two logbooks (Aircraft and Flight Attendant). It's enough trouble to just check for 10 days of history on both of those. The South birds only have one, right?

Note: It is permissible to relinquish the FDRA and close the cabin door prior to receiving the WDR uplink; however, crews must be in possession of the
WDR and Preface prior to pushback. When the departure gate is staffed by more than one gate agent, the final onboard passenger count may not be
known by the agent collecting the FDRA.

Just completed a 4 leg, 2 day trip and we were late 3 of 4 legs because we were gate checking a lot of bags at the last minute. I don't know if this problem is specific to the 737 or all Narrowbody aircraft but it seems to be getting worse.
The whole D-0 emphasis and the charging for checked baggage (forcing everyone to try to carry-on as much as possible) seem to be in direct conflict.
We better get this figured out pretty quick or we are going to have some pretty poor numbers this summer.

Buzz and any other old air lifters out there remember the ACT program? It was the precursor to CRM. We watched this video done by a USAFA Behavioral Sciences professor who did a study with major air line crews. He put them in the sim and had them fly an ILS. About halfway down the Captain would feign death and about 50% of the time the F/O would let the airplane crash. This was mid 80s time frame, about the time of the KAL 747 crash I think.
500' checks are not so intrusive and not a bad idea.

In reading the Rolling Stone article about Gen McChrystal I noticed that he likes to drink Bud Lite Lime. As a reminder to us all, "don't fruit the beer!"

I agree about the 500' check. I'm always quietly ensuring the gear and flaps at about that time as well.
