Here's an idea to cut costs... Do what every single mainline airline does (as does the 175) and print one checklist per plane.

Have you ever had 2 checklists out at a time? It's ridiculous to have 2

True, look at Boeing. There's a checklist "slot" on top center instrument panel. All you need is one.

Thanks

Has there ever been a time when the pilot group didn't bend over and take it?

Bottle to throttle change from 8 to 12. SHTF. Changed back real quick.

The company stated one of the reasons was the difficulty of printing and distributing updated checklists to all the planes in an orderly way. How about you don't do it very often, seriously, updating checklist too often has it's own safety issues.
FltOps dept is really dropping the ball on this, the last checklist just removed was in for a year.
How about this, put out a FOIB> new checklist, print and carry or use electronic until all A/C checklist have been updated.
Problem solved.

I feel if we bumped bottle to throttle from 8 to 4 hours this checklist thing would soon be forgotten.
