I don't necessarily disagree on some of your points, buit it would be nice to use the BA checklist that is laminated to the yoke for landing.. what.. 3 or four items instead of the novel we have to read every time? Inferior? naaaaah ain't buying that one, but the idea of training to the LCD is not necessarily a bad one. Think of the alternative. It makes all the Chuck Yeagers out there look really good. Add to that a trip to Walmart, and you will be Yeager, Hawking and Charles Atlas all rolled into one. What's not to like? And I have never flown it, but I would have to buy new stronger glasses to read the mad dog checklist... ugh.
T Square, I thought you were on the 767. The Delta 767 landing checklist consist of 3 items. Not sure how much shorter you can make it.

See the little short guy? He lives about 5 miles from me. I don't think he acts anymore. He just lives off his royalties. He hangs out in the bowling alley and is constantly getting in scrapes with the law. He's a strange little unit.
Hey, this was supposed to bump up that picture of David Hosseldorf and Gary Coleman.

Are we beginning to cancel flights to Europe due to volcanic activity? I'd guess that LHR, DUB, SNN and BRU are CXd. Any others?

The raked wing tips on the 777 and 767-400 have about the same effect as winglets on a traditional wing design. The raked design coupled with the increase in span is more effective at reducing drag (disrupting vortices) and increasing performance than a winglet.

BTW, the reason one hedges, is that one doesn't know "where this is going". A hedge is an insurance policy for our own ignorance of the future.

LONDON -- A plume of volcanic ash from Iceland hovering over Northern Europe severely disrupted air travel for hundreds of thousands of airline passengers Thursday as authorities shut down airspace in Britain, Ireland and Scandinavia.
An ash cloud has drifted from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland, which erupted on Wednesday for the second time in a month. The volcano is still spewing ash into the air, and authorities said they did not know when the airspace would reopen.
All non-emergency flights to and from British airports were banned from noon until at least 6 p.m. local time (1 p.m. in Washington). Swedish authorities said they would shut their airspace from 10 p.m. local time. Ireland, Denmark, Norway, and Finland also announced they would shut down their airspace, according to the Associated Press.
Thats my bet.
