You fly an airplane where the overhead panel is straight out of 1963. I think I'd rather have the mirrors for something I never need.

The overhead panel makes sense. Why fix it if it isn't broken?

The mirrors don't make sense.

They're actually just used to look at pretty girls during the boarding process without craning your neck around and looking like a true perv.

I can just look at the pretty picture of my wife on my iPhone.

The mirrors also make great reminders that you are cross feeding or waiting for the logbook to come back from maintenance or supposed to make a food run for the crew on the next stop. In fact, they are useful for pretty much everything BUT trying to find the damn whiskey compass.

I miss the drawer on the -120/-145; with that thing sticking out into your face, you wouldn't forget that you were doing something like, I don't know, crossfeeding.

Regarding departing without the can on board, the solution to that is to make a very public example of someone who does it, then add "AIRCRAFT TAIL NUMBER - (___) CP/FO" to the before start, and carry on.

You would like Blue. I get to look at the can every leg as part of before start below the line.

It's not on the 175 checklist. It's technically covered under "PREFLIGHT CHECKS" if you read the expanded procedures. Both crewmembers are responsible for verifying that the aircraft is in an airworthy state.

It was on the Brasilia checklist with a blank for the Captain and FO. Captain verified the release, FO responded with the airframe placard and the can's N-number. Plus, if you blocked out without it on the Brasilia, you would figure it out right away when you went to record peak T6. "Oh. Um. We're goin' back. Don't ask."

I think it's just "checked" on the Canadair, which sort of defeats the purpose of the item. "Yup it's there."

Like I said, the right way is to make a very public example out of someone, then carry on.
