According to some LCAs I flew with, this will eventually be the policy. The OUT time will be de-coupled from the beacon and be generated when the main cabin doors are all closed and the brake is released. IN time will be the parking brake set and a main cabin door opened.

Okay, yeah, that makes sense.

Even easier. Disable the GPS in the FMS (it will stop automatically updating the ACARS and FMS time), select DME/DME as primary, place the #3 VHF onto a non AIRINC freq. (so nothing is updated in RES/SABRE/PARS), modify the system time as required, follow company procedures, move off the gate and away from cameras, place #3 VHF back to the primary AIRINC freq. ( this will update RES/SABRE//PARS but you'll be away from the cameras and ACARS periodically go NO COM anyways) and finally enable that GPS receiver before you fly that RNAV departure.

I think this is how other airlines do it, not that I know from personal experience.

Next week, I think we'll go for Bond and Casino Royale, the new one. It has to be manly, but not Tombstone or Fight Club. See you have to walk a thin line but it pays off in the end when football season rolls around.

Something about making copper wire by tossing a penny between two pilots comes to mind. I like an extra buck or two as much as the next guy but.... just damn!
