You were just ahead of your time. Check out “On the Radar” 2/27/2020. The AOM has been updated to align with it. GPS position is primary now. You’re only supposed to enter the gate if GPS position is unavailable or incorrect.

Not stupid if you’re 6’3”. I leave the seat on the floor and pedals forward because that’s how I sit in the seat.

I know. We did it better at AirTran. (He repeats over and over, ad nauseam.) Why not go to BW or LK and let them know the right way to do things, since you have all the answers. 🙄

I never said that. You just did though.

Leaving the seat all the way up(highest position) is the only thing I really notice. I can’t, for the life of me, figure out what this accomplishes.

I remember seeing a memo in the BWI crew lounge from the Chiefs (back when Bert was CP and well before he went back to the line) that said to stop putting the pedals all the way forward. It was because Maintenance was getting too many aircraft with the pedals jammed forward that were causing delays on originators. After that I just left the pedals where I had used them. As for the seat I always left fully back (even on the -200 s) so that it was easier for me to get out, but I never adjusted the height.

Same with the well-intentioned practice of folding seat belts, while looking nice (like parsley), it was actually discouraged by a former carrier's Tech Ops because it placed unnecessary stress (maintenance) on the reclining hardware. Day after day, pilots arch into the seat back to cross their seat belt, followed by the incoming pilot arching to uncross them. Not just pointless, it's costly.

Listen......they don’t want to hear how it was done at your last carrier ;)

Was it the Tranny that also taught you a rudder wasn't needed on a jet?

Just curious.

Copy. Can I leave my trash bag too? You’ll need one and I’m sure you’ll pass a trash can at some point to get rid of it.
