If we know each other then I'll stop and exchange a few words but if you're just one of 1000+ guys that dresses like me then I feel like the above should suffice.
As far as saying hi goes to other pilots at the same airline or any other airline, why? Do all the accountants in the airport give a head nod and a hey to each other? I do it but it's silly IMO.

And yes, for guys with shaved heads, there is a code.
There is also code for guys with beards. I had a beard for a few years and you would be amazed at the slow head nod you get from your fellow bearded man.

Not sure but I do remember being taught if the airplane ever does something wacky, just turn off two ADRs to force the thing Into Direct law.
One thing I think I like about Boeings is they follow the laws of Physics over Direct, alternate, normal, lol

It appears that it is a reissue from an emergency AD from 2012 from a similiar A330 incident. Airbus redesigned the AOA sensor, and when the redesigned sensor was installed, the procedure was removed from the AFM.
ALPA argued that the "Blocked AOA" procedure (one ADR on, other two ADRs off, suggest usage of FPV) be retained for flight crew reference after compliance with the AD, but the FAA did not see the requirement to keep the procedure after the revised AOA sensors were installed and removed the procedure.
So this new AD after it has happened again to a 321 it appears.
