700s and 900s have a solid shaft.

A torque tube, actually, but your main point is correct in that it's not a flexible affair.

Flapping rudder pedals during takeoff in an effort to not lose a milimeter of centerline. Your getting bonus points for smoothness not whether you can keep the airplane pointed in the right direction to the milimeter. These are usually the guys and gals that manhandle the airplane during calm conditions.

the worst turbulence I ever witnessed on an approach was totally FO induced. that poor guy worked so hard against himself I almost peed myself trying not to laugh out loud

I'm assuming you mean Generation Me..........spiky hair, backpacks, reading the release at the gate with their iPod buds on, and pissed off at the world if they are not a captain on an RJ by their 23rd bday,.......oh yeah, and swa, jb, fedex, ups, delta, etc owe them a cockpit seat.........

Awesome

Along similar lines, is the N1 setting given during climb and cruise a ballpark number? If it says 90.0, is 90.1 OK, or are you exceeding a limitation now?

If you read the OM carefully, the CLIMB N1 setting is marked with a Caret ">". THAT is a limitation. The CRUISE N1 setting is marked with a dot and is NOT a limitation, "more like guidelines".

You are saying climb carats are limitations?
