Glad eveyone on board is alright. Couple of bruised egos I bet. Interesting to see the findings when they come out.

I'd say not just bruised ego's here, but battered and beaten into non-existance! I'm glad everybody is okay. Wonder what happened?

Maybe they'll add Thrust Reversers to the Before Landing Check. If APU & Bleeds can be on there eight times, might not hurt to have the TRs twice.

I don't know if this even had anything to do with it, but it wouldn't be the first time if it did.

Sounds like you guys have APU/Bleeds on your checklists as much as we have

I ::think:: the new checklists with APU/Bleeds on 'em a million times are supposed to raise awareness of fuel savings efforts?? Anyway, it's ridonculous.

It could replace "Flight attendant-notified" on the before landing check.

While nice to have, T/R usage is not calculated in runway performance.
