Me too. One thing that stuck out for me was the change to a pushback/start checklist that includes turning the beacon on. Evidently that is when the DALS guys start getting paid. How is that recorded. Our out times were sent electronically through ACARS when all doors are closed and the brakes are released.

You sure? Not trying to pick a fight, but that's not what I heard. Of course, I'm not claiming to be 100% right either. Just curious as to your source.

Did some more checking...DL liked the concept of brakes rel and door closing, but it will be probably like a lot of things...when money is avail they will convert one side or the other. When in doubt rel the brakes and turn on the beacon.
