I believe all the F27's are gone. ATR42's and possibly 72's have replaced them. The scope is probably similar to what it was when you were here other than the MTGW was increased from 50K to 60K.

This whole balanced field thing is OK but there are some airports I'd prefer to get up and out of there or have a little more cushion if we ever do have to abort at high speed.
I used to automatically use the top line. No longer. Now I give a closer look to the RATOW and climb limits.
Did a takeoff out of ATL the other day with a double de-rate and geez...
Southwest taxis with more thrust than we had.
Used up the whole 27R and we weren't even that heavy.

As far as I know not a single 121 accident has been attributed to reduced thrust use. Lots of accidents from engine failures however.

Make sure you use that strategy during the appeal. That'll work great.

Can you put aside your own feelings about ALPA for a moment and at least agree to this concept:
One cannot simply say "the jury found you innocent/guilty so that means you definitely didn't/did do it".
The world is just a little more complicated than that.

I think we can see the consensus of the Atl pilot group by just visiting the lounge bathroom. I've seen a couple stalls now where Southwest +15% is written on the toilet condom dispensers!
