Pierre does some funky stuff sometimes, but when he does I just go all DC9 pilot on him & click off FD's & AT, or calculate my own 3:1 descent.

So much fun. So much good music. So many nights I can't entirely remember.... Good times.

3:1 what's that? I just wait till ATC asks if I am going to make the restriction, chop the throttle, full boards at FL350, slow back to .72 and pitch for redline. Haven't missed yet but I do get some strange looks as the passengers walk off.

DC-9 pilots don't calculate descents. They tell the earth where it's going to be when they make their altitude.

Buzz, don't forget all the pictures of the ground that we took. We would fly over some interesting place or country and take a photo from 350. I would get home, get the film developed(yes, I'm that old), and say what the heck was this picture.
