Ha! Really? The only reason I know that is because one night in PIA while attempting to help get the crew bags out of Cargo 1 I managed to shut my thumb between the strut of the FWD cargo door and the airplane. Smashed it up pretty bad, I ended up in the emergency room at 2am getting it x-rayed because I was sure it was broken. While trying to write on the hotel sign in sheet my F/O noticed I was having trouble writing (every try writing without being able to use your thumb?) and asked why my thumb was so many shades of black and purple. I fessed up and told them what happened, and he proceeds to tell me that the wind limitation on the operation of that cargo door is 45 knots. I don't know why he told me that, it wasn't windy that night, and at the moment I really didn't care too much about wind limitations on cargo doors. I just wanted my thumb to stop throbbing. Maybe he was trying to take my mind off it, I dunno, but that bit of trivia has been floating around in my brain taking up valuable memory space for 6 years now.
Anyway....
Glad you passed your oral!
