Tom,

Are you doubting a Pilots ability, any Pilots ability, to complain about multiple issues simultaneously?

Let's not complain about the hat policy, but since we're professionally attired why not ask the passengers to dress up for the occasion a bit as well?

Uhhh, what do you mean our society has changed quite a bit from when we could expect such behavior? Maybe if we just showed that we think enough of them to require it they'd see how much we truly respect them.

I'd kinda like to go back to goggles and a long white scarf.

But only in winter.

Do you mean nicely polished flip flops and freshly ironed sweatpants?

I wish I could find the Futurama episode clip where Fry uses the word "ask" and Leela corrects him that he is using the archaic form of the word "ax"

Nebraska overcomes a 21-point deficit to beat Ohio State!

It's the biggest come from behind win in Nebraska history.

Martinez leads No. 15 Nebraska comeback vs. Ohio State ? USATODAY.com

It's a lot better showing then the loss to Wisconsin last week.

Did I mention that I have a super-early flight this morning?

Turned the game off at halftime as a lost cause. Amazing.

If anyone is on DBMS, would you see if you can download the DIG or any of the training aids, or even the 73 flaps 15 article ? I'm out of ideas.

Thanks,

Not sure how to help you? Are you monitoring this board?

The Flaps 15 thing is mostly a dispatch tool relating to approach climb (missed approach) climb requirements. It does not mean you have to land flaps 15. It is a consideration (ie if you are flaps 40 and a red light comes on, probably better to continue & land). In the real world you probably only want to land the 737 flaps 15 when it is pretty light. Maybe I'm odd, but I even prefer flaps 40 when heavy so we can better fit into the flow of arrival traffic and not have to use the braking at the equivalent of 3 or more and max reverse to make the last high speed. The 737 does not stop as well as the 757/767 (half the friction surface) and lands a bit faster (like 20 knots).

The -700 stops better than the -800. When Southwest gets the -800 Boeing needs to include shovels, ramps, a four wheeler and a tow bar. When Delta gets the -900, they should include that kit for us. (only joking)
