Bid packages are on link if you can't wait until 1200 EDT. Recently (within the last two months) they have been showing up the morning prior to bid opening. Pilots used to never have access to other base bid packages. But then, maybe there will be more discrepancies between FLICA and the bid package.

In a 737, it had a glass cockpit, but holy cow that airplane looked like it was over 40 years old! It was so loud! His hands were flying all over the cockpit flipping switches, dialing buttons, looking at charts, and he was the PF!! Paper kept spitting out of the printer, he was constantly pulling the throttles back as they moved around and he was working that yoke on the approach. I turn the wheel of my car a lot less when I'm on the racetrack.

If your trim wheel was clacking you were doing it wrong. I miss flying too.

And a good S/O, recognizing an impending thrust reduction, would silence the horn before it even blew. If necessary, the PF would give him a clue by raising the inboard elbow.

If you let the gear horn sound you owed him a beer.

The FO flying was WORKING that yoke. The 737 is just way too much work. Way too much.
