Thank you.
Absolutely.
Not saying I've never forgotten, but I have walked back from the gate to check if I wasn't sure.

Yup. And put the seat back to my settings while you are at it.

Yes. Move the seat forward when you leave. Don't cross the seatbelt.

Welcome to Fifi! French for, 'Why is it doing that again?'

If you are over 50, make sure you rotate the iPad holder to portrait, turn wx gain to +4, turn the screens down because you think it’s a MD80

And most importantly....

Touch the screens. If you touch them enough, they become touch screen activated.

Just turned over 50, so only do the iPad portrait thingy, working on the rest of the list.

Make sure when you dim the screens you dim the radar too, very important...

The bus is loud below FL320. Anyone who says otherwise is already suffering hearing damage. The 'topless' crowd at NK proceed to turn the speaker 75% of the way up and still miss a significant amount of calls. This procedure is ridiculous and should be delayed to at least 300.

Anyone wearing ship headsets is also suspect in my mind as I'm not sharing anything that goes on my head with you dirty SOB's.

UFlyMike, Avee, DC Pro X, etc are very common in this airplane and well worth the cost of preventing, or from further worsening, tinnitus. But, if you do decided to go 'topless' at 180 don't expect me to do so as well. I can hear your callouts but don't expect me to engage in chit chat over the noise of the cockpit and my noise attenuation.

Do your retirement years and ears a favor and invest in a quality headset.

Another vote for the DC Pro X. You can get them with the XLR plug. I love mine.
