Or ATC could get with the program and realize the old 737 now does 150+ on final and separate accordingly. They have no problem calling a 50 knot slower speed 250 miles out but 15 mile final and all bets are off.

Airbus is going to develop a new approach energy management method called "groundspeed maxi" for use when the preceding acft is a 737. That should make it all good.

I'd like to start the new year by nominating the inventor of touchless bathroom accessories. Mr. Sloan, your faucets suck and you steal a$$ gaskets from me during desperate times.

I'll agree, except for the auto a$$ gasket in ORD. That thing is a up there with the wheel as far as inventions go.

I walk 10 minutes out of my way to use that bathroom when possible. Best feature of the airport, hands down.

Do you not have skin contact with the plastic housing on the rear of the seat? Maybe I've been sitting wrong all these years
