ASA Memphis base rumor?

So the Captain sits with his thumb up his rear on the after start, while the FO is wailing away like a madman....instead of dividing the tasks like the old way, where the Capt flips the switches right in front of his face. It takes a bit longer to complete this now, as well.

Also, why was yaw damps taken off the originator? Isn't that where we are setting proper switch position for all systems, yet now we just skip over this and get it later? Strange.

Yaw dampers were probably taken off because #2 usually disengages. Now, why it was randomly thrown into the middle of the before start instead of at the end of it... I'll leave that to the bozos responsible.

The reason the yaw dampeners were moved is in the tech briefing dork, damn at least read it.

Yaw "dampeners"???

Didn't think we had to spell correctly on the weekends, my bad

Um, thanks. Read it. Thought it was stupid reason, still do. It can/should still be included in the originator....but really who cares. I'll do it whenever they want.

Of course one could read those yellow messages on that screen over there...Never mind let's just change the procedures again...

Amen!

Did you read the tech briefing on why the yaw dampners are now included on the before start? It has to do with keeping common procedures between the 700/900 and 200 due to the new 700s having IRS's and their initialization.

Read the tech briefng folks. Also read the expanded checklist to know what the heck you're supposed to be doing.

The new checklists are a big improvement. Pilots don't like it right now because they are resistant to change unless it benefits their QOL. The tech briefing is clear and concise.

Still mind boggling that the altimeter thing has changed about six times. For the sake of Zoroaster, why can't they have BOTH of us us say __.__ set and crosschecked instead of burying the crosschecking fine print into the expanded procedures. Say what you mean and mean what you say!!

BINGO!...This altimeter thing has gotten out of hand....Focusing on minutia while the big picture slips away.....

Responding pilot says 29.81 set. Challenging pilot says 29.81 cross-checked. Is it seriously that that hard for you to learn?

Funny thing is that is the way we did it on the ATR years ago...RJ had this "checked" thing....Don't get me started on "checked" vs. "set" vs. "cross checked"....

It takes a bit longer to turn a generator on, ignition off and making sure the APR is armed? Seriously? The extra second(if even that) that it takes to do that is given right back in the after start checklist which is now 75% d&r instead of c&r. This is a CRJ not a Maddog. The new checklist does not have the FO coming close to 'wailing away'

Well maybe it just seems longer because I'm just sitting there doing squat! OR, my Fo was just slow as molasses trying to figure it all out for the first few times.
