Personally, I like pressing recall 17 times per checklist.
You have to press it that much to get all the lights to illuminate on both sides. And it also discourages the flying pilot from pressing it another 10 times while reading the checklist. Cover your eyes [emoji849] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You want more money to fly the Max10? Isnt the satisfaction of knowing that you are in command of Boeing’s newest, most state of the art, aircraft enough extra compensation? Money can’t buy the grin on your face when you push those throttles forward and feel the hydraulic lift kit extend the mains.

I've flown the MAX-8 a few times. The engines are smoother and quieter, and as mentioned above, take a ton of time to start when warm. They seem to idle higher too - release the brakes and you'll slowly start to move.
Otherwise it's still a 737. The big screens are pretty, but there's not really any extra capability. Just more map display. I feel like it's a little heavier in pitch during landing, and had a CA say he thought it felt a lot like a 767 (I wouldn't know), but it's close enough to an NG that I don't think about it much. It's nice not having an OFF position for the gear anymore, and they moved the handle far enough to break any tendency to blindly reach up and accidentally put the gear down during the climb. ;) |

It’s better if you like the youngest flight attendant be older than your mother.
The benefit of having the grannies is the ease of starting a conversation in the galley ... So, how many cats do you have? ... Finally you see life in their eyes. The true sign that a younger FA is about to fall off the cliff ... I just got my first kitten ... Necessary evil. |
