I'm not arguing it's more difficult than domestic flying. There's just more items to pay attention to.

Aside from that it's just appropriate A/S based on your weight and runway length, correct?
BTW, I realize this is probably a gross oversimplification, but I took a stab. I have no concept procedurally what you guys do.

Digging a hole? I didn't realize the Internet was a contest. Never flown a 737 and don't want to. I suspect you've never flown a heavy. Think whatever you want of me, doesn't really matter, I'm here for pure entertainment
Edit: Actually I just realized this is a contest, where the same 20 guys are constantly trying to prove they have the biggest weenie. You all win that too. I actually thought intelligent discussion was possible on this site, but I'm starting to think I was wrong. Nothing but trolls and egos. Oh well.
