I guess I just don’t care enough. Want to configure now? Ok. Want to fly every leg? Ok. Doesn’t matter to me, I get paid the same.

I think you and I would get along.

I draw the line at guarding the yoke.

It's more of a distraction than anything else. By you doing that it's a going to make me (the PF) wonder "Should I be asking for flaps?" The great thing is the location of the flap lever doesn't move, so you won't have to go "looking for the handle" It's always in the same location on every flight. ;)

"If you fly, you fly" followed by hand hovering is just like the "I'm pretty laid back..."

It is super annoying and I get pleasure out of waiting to configure so that those guys have to sit there with their hand hovering over the flap lever.

Haha. Well said and 100% true.

TOTD: "Whatever you want" instead of "thanks, I forgot" as a response to my reminder to add something required to the performance ACARS like a tailwind, or full thrust due to windshear, or wet runway, or anti ice on...

re: N9373FM..... :-D :-D :-D pics plz! cartoon

If their hand is in the flaps, I call for gear.
If their hand is on the gear, I call for flaps.

It’s a matter of principle.
