Triangulation and correlation with ADS-B data would be easy, so finally the tools will have to be quiet.

FWIW, FedEx procedures call for wing illumination and taxi light for line up and wait. Forward facing landing lights and strobes once cleared for takeoff. I think we're the minority from what I see around the industry. It seems to come from an over-exuberance directed toward the preservation of night vision (probably started when it was almost exclusively night ops and little to no inbound traffic when we were flying). Old habits seem to die hard there.

No critique from me. My memory from my pax days at UAL is fading but I think that was procedure at the time. I'd say it's probably the safer option, IMO.

I would never "line up and wait" without strobes on past civil twilight, feel too vulnerable.

I am always amazed when adults that fly planes using science don't trust science When 97% of a scientific community is telling you climate change is real. It's a shame that it became politicized, and people can't separate their political desires from rational thinking. Separate church and state folks

What did that lanyard say? I don't recall any scope lanyards from '99. Maybe a RJ/UA sticker as we wanted the flying in house and the jobs for our pilots. Which is exactly what the RJ pilots today accuse of not doing. So you guys at the express carriers whine about mainline caving on scope and as soon as we exhibit some sign of protecting our flying you whine about that. Perhaps the enemy is in the mirror and not all those evil mainline pilots.
