Look for some additional single engine landing practice in next year's recurrent.

Probably not good. Landing strikes are always worse than take-off.

Don't you have to help the nose down on a 767 and keep the 757 from slamming the nose down? Guess we now know that you REALLY have to help the nose down when your super duper premium heavy....and on one engine.

The airline is line oriented and much of the standards stuff comes from the LCP side of things. Of course the way this push without numbers stuff was designed and implemented I've got to wonder....

Another union vote down
Delta has just issued the following statement to news media about IAM representation being rejected by Delta TechOps stores employees. Please continue to monitor DNN for updates on this breaking story.
“Once again our people have decided that Delta’s direct relationship between employees and leaders works. This is the eighth workgroup in which representation was resolved since Delta’s merger, resulting in no union for the more than 41,000 employees in these groups. We urge the IAM and AFA to respect our people’s choice and the will of the majority. Delta people have patiently waited two years to have their pay, benefits, work rules, and seniority aligned. It’s time to move forward.”

Both the 767 and 757 have a nose up moment on speedbrake deployment on touchdown. The reversers deploying help counter act that... the most critical I found was when the auto speedbrake was deferred and you have to make sure the other guy doesnt just yank it back. Things could get interesting quick then!
