We typically do VNAV, if not we do CANPA. Dive and drive is a no-no.

I'm picturing that get together not at spondivits but rather on a hill side in Rome with Sparactus, now played by ACL65, and the other slaves, us, sitting in chains while Anderson and Moak are telling us that the penatly of crucifixion, for participating in this forum and/or trying to staple Compass, will be set aside under the condition we identify the body or the slave called Sp...ACL65?

"I'm Sparatcus"
"I'm Spartacus"
"I'm Spartacus"
"I'm Sparatcus"
"I'm Spartacus"
"I'm Spartacus"
"I'm Sparatcus"

For the climax, we all got screwed and we're all hanging on crosses along the appian way, played by Virginia Avenue, singing and/or whistling in our best British accents: "You've got to look on the bright side of life..." just because it'd be funny.

I was talking to the program manager and he said a five day course. I asked him if he meant a five hour course. I was assuming that he might have mixed that up. Five days seems quite excessive to me. I assumed a CD and a sim in the 767 that was it. But they seem to think not.

What I figured, only dive and drive we do is an ASR, which I've never done in 10 years on the jet, and only once in the sim.

Should be fun, we do flaps 5 at some airports and I've played with assumed temp in the sim but haven't done a rolling engine start since the -9. We have a 5 minute warm up on the engines so we never single engine taxi out, only taxi in.

Change is always difficult, but I'm looking forward to seeing how it works.

Hey............5 days of school with the required "study" at night would be great. I'll pack my Saipan liver!

There are some good "library's" here in ATL to study in at night. Some within walking distance. The food is not too bad either.

Watch out for the oysters at Spondivits. Make sure there's an 'r' in the month you're eating them. The "clams" come out later at night. Don't do the pilot walking to the training center at 5:00 AM thing. They'll be all over you....
