| Yeah, that's their checklist thing. They do that different than anybody else. I've seen it on their MD80's. They used to set their altimeters to ground elevation all the time, too, until they about crashed one at BDL one dark and stormy night. |

| A lot of carriers used the Qfe procedures. The accident had nothing to do with why they switched away from that. It was a cost factor. Despite the rumors, that accident was totally unrelated to the use of Qfe. |
