It’s something that makes us better than all the other 737 operators, or not.
The quartered checklists are my least favorite thing. Do the other fleets do that?

320/330 as well.

why do you want to hold a giant piece of paper in your face? Quartered is perfect to hold, read and shove someplace convenient

I've never understood the Delta Air Lines mania for folding checklists. We even print lines on them to fold them on, and tailor the length of the individual checklist and it's font size to fit in the individual quadrants. An unfolded checklist fits very nicely in each fleet's respective full size checklist holder, and makes a very effective sunshade when not folded.
But Delta...

They get stuck in the 73N checklist holder, there's a couple stuffed back there in just about every airplane, making it difficult for the checklists to fit in there nicely.

We are pretty much the only airline that does this…there is a reason for that. It’s not because it’s better.

Exactly…I’m happy to say that the 737 pilots are evolving. We are slowly working towards the half fold, which is an absolute game changer.
