It's been common knowledge, since forever..........
Helped to garner a rep as well become the butt of many, MANY JOKES.
IIRC, that WAS their rationale about the topic. Addes with a "you'll fine us for it? Ok, where do we send the check?" type of attitude.
They're teaching them how to do 280 to the marker and taxi with full down elevator so they don't rotate on the taxi way. As well as how to not hit control towers...

Even more surprising is Delta never faced similar actions. In the late 80's they had classes of 30-40 that were ALL white males.
If I had to guess, the EEOC may have looked at Delta but Delta's response would have been, "90+% of the pilots we hire are military pilots. Don't sue us, sue the .gov for the military's hiring practices.

well, you can scratch that off as a reason. There is no mandate to use the auto brakes on the 737.
If it is airline specific, then that should be changed. If that’s why he selected 1 then disengaged it by stowing the speed brake, then the have introduced lot of risk by mandating it.

Yes, we use 'board(s)' to refer to the distance remaining markers. The 30 60 90 thing at the 1 2 3 boards is also common techinque across platforms, both heavy and pointy nose, with variations specific to the MWS.... That's .mil speak for 'airplanes' that do 'things', do forgive our lack of inclusivity when speaking in mixed 121 company. We're just a bunch of callsign-wearing 10%-story telling' shuttle-van-conversation-monopolizing knuckle-draggers, you know.... shooting watches and sh%t.
