The "redhead" has a name, she's called "Deltalina".

Fly more Hawaii's, and less Asia's, and I can help you keep up with these things.

That is, if you can help me remember to say "checkLIST"... and to get the lights at 18,000'.:eek:

No help from me:D I still can't get the name of the check right much less add LIST to the end.......

Rumor has it (know what that's worth) that a whale flew all the way across with it's lights on. Noticed they were already on during the decent checkLIST:D.

The common question is "is this the way we are supposed to do it"? Answer, "I think so".

On a serious note, I'm really out to lunch on the manual reorganization. Do we use new tabs now or wait till next Jepps issue and see the Log pages? The Jepps instruction doesn't seem to match the memo (IMO).

We did ours on the last trip. The "B" did his in the usual place but I had to spread mine out on a desk in the hotel. The directions don't begin to make sense until you're about halfway finished. BTW, apparently you're supposed to do the revision first since the log pages will make NO sense if you do the reorganization first.

Anyone.................

The word is adequately staffed. That means green slips every day. ALV is still going to be at or above 80 according to the guys in crew planning.

Ferd

I normally see that they are still on somewhere around FL 220. (I don't know why)

I don't know why they don't insert:

Exterior Lighting........[As Required]

on the climb check. Because it's really just luck that I catch it. Either that, or I think I'll just go back to turning tham off at 10,000. :rolleyes:

Wag/Desparado,

Yeah I did the revision then was trying to do the tabs and got real confused and looked like I was going to have "stuff" left over, so I just put it all back in per the log pages. I'll just wait till next revision and follow the new log pages......I hate revisions under the best of situations.

That and I was sitting at the pool with a bunch of SFO FAs, trying to explain why they were getting so many bell dings. They didn't seem to know the green light was going away, so they are snowed under with memos too I guess.

Yes, Before Start Checklist, Before Takeoff Checklist.

You do a check and run a checklist to confirm the items down on the check. :)

As for the lights, ..... Most CA's just get used to turning them off after saying 29.92 crosscheck. A good FO learns to look up. ;)

You have to remember, we're not just learning something new, we are also unlearning something old.
