when i was flying home from london about a month ago, we flew over the territories and at noon the sun was just a sliver on the horizon. that would mess with my head for sure.

Excellent! How's that throttle feel being on the overhead? That always seemed weird to me.

It takes a little getting used to at first, but its nice to not have a center console. the wierdest thing was getting used to rolling your hand forward to get into Beta. its a great airplane. |

increase is forward but after pulling it back to the stop/idle...you have to roll your hand forward and then pull back. |

Like reverse thrust in a jet then! We've got to reach forward, grab a second set of levers and pull back. Unless you're one of those CRJ weenies or something. I could never figure those things out.
