Good point, or just simply are unaware of what they are doing. Ask a UAL 76 crew how a fuel system MISmanagement worked for them not too long ago coming out of Hawaii.
Pretty much ANY legacy airline now.

And also on all CRJs you can't sit more than 10 minutes with your lights on for cooling purposes. Sounds like these guys aren't too up on their systems knowledge.

On the 700/900 if one is on, both are on, you can't just turn off 1 side. And I thought our procedure was universal, since it came straight from Bombardier's engineers. But what do they know? I'm sure GoJets has smarter people in their training department.

Everybody who has flown with CA Zoolander knows he can't turn left, and is sensitive about that. Way to rub it in

Why are you so caustic all the time? I don't work for GoJet and was simply pointing out our procedure.
Get over yourself.
