FLCH vs Flight Level Change
Was up in MSP for recurrent last month and had a North F/O call out "Feltch" and I had NO idea what he was talking about! Thought he might be referring to the Chevy Chase Movie "Fletch" but that would be like Ferd and Fred. Let's see, some others....F/O's setting the stab trim, not arming Speedbrake for ldg, the seatbelt sign, Status page called up and left "up" after waveoff, comm 1 and 2 usage on ramp and ground control, the logbook (a biggie!) and course the whole FMS/MCDU thing, among many others!!!

No. If you're even asking that question, Delta is probably not for you.

Oh my god! An FO set the stab trim? Did the jet explode?

I prefer Fletch, vs. feltch, myself...and I always keep some 3-n-1 oil in my flight kit.

I actually prefer the south way of running the FMS, but I'm flexible. For all of the above, I really don't care who does it, as long as it gets done right.

Happy Holidays from the Wilshire Grand (it ain't that grand)

FO's always set the stab trim in the 73N (or at least I do, I haven't flown with any other FOs). Never heard of "feltch".....however.

Merry Christmas Boyz!

PS Has anybody flown immediately after losing their crew ID? Yep, lost mine and looks like I'm heading out.

I love how we FO's set the stab trim on the 73N but the only calibrated indicator is on the captain's side, haha.

I follow the "spirit" of the new FMC stuff... I'm only high workload if I sense that it'll be a few too many buttons to type while managing the autopilot (basically a last minute runway change). Other than that the inputs are simple enough to where theres no reason to have two heads down (one staring at the FMC waiting for the guy to selected it and one fat fingering buttons on it).

As far as the ID badge I havent, but I found one and I now have a ridiculously news talkshow handsomely picture ID.

Funny you say that. I've had some S guys on the Jumpseat who've agreed.
