Yet I still see captains taking newspapers out of the garbage.

What's your point? My depression era grandma taught me waste not want not.

Second hand info from a j/s said it burns about about 4,000 pph at cruise.....

A 757-200 burns about 7.0 total at FL360 at over 200K at a speed of .80.

At 360 last week, full load of guests, 4.8k/hour (2.4 per side). The j/s is rounding the wrong way, but still more efficient by around 1k/hour.

My only question is whether or not it’s any quieter at .78 than the NG? Do ears rings at the end of the day?

Depends on whether or not you wear a headset.

Keurigs are very popular and sell a lot, but the Bosch Tassimo is a far superior product.
The Keurig sales don’t make it a better coffee maker.
