Papyrus is the future man. Just embrace it. I’ve been using it for the last few weeks and it writes just like stone.

Fun fact. The NW scroll is the follow on iteration from papyrus.

*Relief pilot carries a crew pen for the paper release and meal sheet. They are not allowed to be seen with the pen in public, it is kept out of view in the flight bag.

So what is this, some sort of hazing exercise? Some weird flex of 350 pilots/instructors/LCPs making sure everyone knows they're the best and most high tech? We've already seen the wonderful attitude of a certain 350 Lead LCA toward his fellow pilots, especially junior pilots. Now this?

Thanks for another reminder never to bid 350B.

I've had other people in real life tell me all of that really happens. So maybe, maybe not.

If it is real, I would hope it’s not a flex but more of a point to hammer home the capabilities of the cockpit. Maybe some are better at delivering this lesson better than others. 🤷

350B has to be near the top of best categories in the company. Probably right behind 350A.

Stone tablets are more durable under deice fluid.
