Probably “taught” him how to fly it like a 200 too.

Stop doing it. It’s stupid.

I guess you don't test the VOR/LOC during your preflight? That's why that's done.

The rest of this -200 stuff though...

I've always wondered about this practice. Has it ever failed in an NG? How many people are actually observing the test, and how many are just going through the motions if they do it at all.

And aren't VOR tests only required by FAR every 30 days?

30 days per FAA, yes. Apparently it's a new procedure to make a write up in the logbook that a dual VOR test has been done if one wasn't done within the last 30 days.

No, I don’t. Just like I don’t put in the airport and gate when initializing the box but rather drag a GPS position from PAGE 2. Jesus, maybe in 50 years they’ll still be teaching “Just fly it like an NG”. Talk about stuck in the past with procedures. Oh, and don’t forget to “set zeros”

..."belt laid nicely". Employee of the month? SWAG? Quicker upgrade? Seriously, very sweet, Mommy must be proud. Probably graduated top of your SW class (got the 737!), honor student, scout badges, potty trained early, etc.

Just yanking' ya Dirty, lightening up. Golf clap for the 'Stripes' quote. Well played.
