Speaking of D0, I just overheard the announcement in the airport that says you must be on board the plane 20 min early or your seat is subject to cancellation. Wasn't it 10 min prior just recently?

BG, I realize that. I have always thought the D-0 emphasis was foolish. Especially when panicked gate agents close the door on paying customers and non-revs when we are still loading bags. :mad: Scoop |

Buzz, 500', Gear and Flaps set for landing. That is my mental callout as I touch the flap handle.

You are required to have the flaps and gear set by 1000'.....shouldn't that be your check?

I know it is a safeguard, but how annoying is the runway, departure, first fix brief as you are taxiing about takeoff. That should be briefed prior and then called checked. I too have a lot of personal "hey idiot" checklist.:D

I do not mind that one, as it is a last check prior to a RNAV departure to make sure if there was a runway change you have it in the box correctly.
I DO always check the flap position as we move in to position. Never can be to paranoid! :eek: |

So let me get this straight, you are required to go thru 10 DAYS worth of write ups that have already been cleared by MTC on former NWA aircraft and look up every MCO even if it was cleared? I missed the memo on this one. I understand the need to look at the history of the last few days and the need to look up any open MCO's from the logbook in the MEL but to look up write ups that have been cleared by MTC more than a few days before seems fairly ridiculous to me.

You hit the nail on the head. I am a FNW pilot who retired about 2 years ago using the PERP. My wife is a big fan of Delta and is Diamond FF status. She has been very frustrated with the on time performance for the last 6 months. She routinely has to book a minimum 2:30 hour connect time in ATL to ensure she makes her connections. I did a tally of her last 40 flights on DL. On time 6 Late > 60 min 18 Late > 30 min 10 CNX for Maint 6 She says the crews are doing a great job with the pax keeping them informed, etc. but "its just getting worse." For the first time she is looking at other airlines |
