I would like to take this opportunity to point out that we are no that different.
Some on the North complained about:
1.) The Captains not calling for flap extension.
2.) Only getting one usable release.
Some on the South complained about:
1.) "Brakes set. Pressures normal."
2.) Both pilots responding to the shutdown checklist.
Both got told by the other side to deal with it!
Here's to being, "Shut up and row!" brothers to the end.

A-men!
A big topic in the meeting today as communicating "what the south says vs. what the south means" in the manuals.
The cultural differences will take some time to work out- there was actually a 3-page "rosetta stone" put out to the 755 guys translating what the book says and what we say we do vs. what normally happens on the line.
It will work itself out over time as we cross pollinate more and the cultures meld.

I flew into MSP today from ATL and had a break and went down to the crewroom under F11? Anyway, some DL-N pilots were upset with the new AWABS system, and one said he had heard that we were going to go back to the former NWA system in 4 months, since it supposedly "saves more money" in gas savings. I stated I did not see that, since the cost indexes are lower on the new system, being in the teens compared to always 55 on some NWA software. I would think they will waste more money training the majority of DL pilots (S guys) to the NWA system, and more paper, since I watched a DC-9 crew in MEM get their paper work last week and it seemed like a ton.

You real men on the 9 shouldn't even need a release. Just sit down, pimp slap the FO a couple times, squeeze the A-line's jugs, and then launch in the general direction of where you're going because the s-o-b will get there...always. Why will it get there? Because you have a hairy chest that would make hasslehoff jealous and brass balls clanging so loud that when you die they'll replace the bell in Big Ben with them.
Oh wait.... this isnt 1965 is it?

Awesome, can you run that segment again about "Clamp Says the Darndest Things to Kids!"
That was good stuff.
