Oh I know it works, it's just obnoxious to do run ups and the soot all over the nacelle is annoying. Unless you fly the C208, where you repaint the right side of the fuselage with soot.

Although I'd love to fly the PT6 Duke and Baron

Unless they add a lot of plumbing, I don't see it happening on this "Upgraded" DC9.
They put the First Class lav tank in the tail cone and give everyone free drinks.

Half prior to top of descent they hand out two day old Moe's burritos in coach and lock the aft lav.

Also helps reduce turn time from 47 to 18 minutes.

The plumbing is there since the fuel has to go to the motors anyway.
I bet there's a little surge tank in the tail that get filled up for cruise...

OR...just tell all the Buffarillo's they have to work in the back during cruise!

I can hear the briefing now, "All you Big Gals, Do NOT come foreward of the overwing exits until we put the gear down, or we won't have enough fuel to get to LAX..."

Why would I put my dog in the trunk? I love my dog.

I'm wondering if anyone else read a recently passed Delta MEC resolution.

AI 11-141A which is a resolution from the MEC for No Scope Relief.

No scope relief is a start but scope recapture is mandatory.
