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 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
;) Lol |
TOTD..... those turning this thread into climate change

TOD from the year 1999 - the 24 year old female United FO that was wearing a scope badge that tried to jumpseat home on my CRJ200.
Good luck with that |
Right because age and gender have everything to do with wanting long term job security. Have fun with your crj200.

TOTD: The (GoJet?) captain wearing a baseball cap with sunglasses over the hats brim while in uniform standing in the gatehouse of a Delta Connection by GoJet flight boarding for Raleigh tonight. Classy AF.
