Well, congrats on the hard part being done!!

Nothing like a pay raise to make the spirits rise.

Glad to see some movement out there. Now, I'd just like to see some here.

I have been seeing some signs that the industry is starting to recover, I hope it keeps up and becomes more widespread.

Thanks again Polar and good luck..

116 tons out of a possible 118 about everywhere we go seems to be a good sign!

I just hope it keeps going that way.

Great airplane, you will love it and it is suprisingly light on the controls and agile for its size.

Congrats, Bandit. I'm told the 727 is a "real man's airplane."

and that is supposed to pass as a comment on the ride? What did you do best, what did you think you needed to better at and what did you learn?

"Light" is not a term I would have used for the 727 feel but with a bit of rudder, it will dance quite well. The big thing is that it is honest, it will go fast, it will go slow, it will go down AND slow down and it is stable on final. Just be sure to wear ANR headsets or ear plugs over 250kts or kiss your hearing GOODBYE!

As for electrical, "Protect Essential!"
Fuel.. "Dump down to 3000 across the board...."

And as with almost all Boeings, get 210kts and you are home free. On final, 135-140kts will do nicely.

Congratulations.
