Just tweaking you. I'm sure you meant "on the high side of 60." However, most of these case are guys well under 60. I know my buddy was. Scanning the seniority list, most of the 28 year guys are under 60.

I landed a B767-300 at Dubai from the right-seat, cleared the runway, and taxied the length of the airport. Worked great until I needed to make the 90° turn to cross the runway. The left-seater had to take over for that.

One of my favorite 'stupid questions' was often heard back when we had flight engineers:
"So, when are they going to teach you to fly?"
I expect the pax to not know, but I heard this from many of our Flight Attendants! They should know better.

If you were in an Airbus you could have taken it right up to the jetway.

Well, just imagine something that never happened, like a S/O getting the approach and landing. It would be best if the F/As did not know, right?

I used to do the same in the Jetstream 32. Didn't want to try the same power/brake technique in a loaded 767-300, though!
