Yep. Why bother with a curled up piece of paper I can't read without breaking out my glasses? Never understood why some think the printer option is so great.

fold the atis print out in half on the vertical axis, flatten it out, write the letter and altimeter in the empty space to the side. "Problem" solved.

Some people get down right excited when they see a printer.
I don't use it and i don't get the hype.

I see f.o.'s that have what looks like tic tac toe games.

I like the guys that circle everything on the paper... I have no idea why you need to cicle the dispatch add but i see lots of people do it... Maybe it was some carryover from something like 20 years ago.

I write the flight number so i can see it and thats it. Everything else is a button push away.

I have no idea why guys write the flight number as it’s on the yoke and digitally displayed on the MAX.

(See what I did there?)
