Wow, that's a lot of 72 F/E time. I sat sideways for 4 years but bet I didn't have that much. We just didn't fly long legs back in those days.

From the gate agent’s printer.
At ExpressJet one of us would have to get “the paperwork” and it was usually at a gate printer. Dot matrix, super loud, you know the kind. I always did find it oddly satisfying folding it hot dog style and ripping off the sides in one clean go. Kinda like when the scissors slide on wrapping paper.and AVIS,
they must have a 300,000 sq ft warehouse just outside Council Bluff Iowa,
that is still 2/3rds full of tractor feed continuous form duplicate receipt paper
Very interesting. OP said this was Ameriflight, is that somehow connected to Wiggins?

That 72 plumbing time though. (I was born too late)
Not in that report :-/
The first 5 seconds. Not too much to see, however it is interesting. I could detect zero PT6 sounds.Not in that report :-/
Ameriflight bought Wiggins (and I think Alpine) at around he same time, several years ago. Maybe 2015ish? It is an AMF 99 and it was operated as Wiggins.

Tell me you leave the autopilot on until 500 feet on every single landing without saying you leave the autopilot on until 500 feet on every single landing.Laughs in 737
Wiggins was always straight freight, but in the before times, they at least were managed (Mx & Crews) pretty well. You can kinda suss that simply by looking at how long Wiggins was a successful thing (whatever that means in aviation) before they got bought for their capital equipment.Very interesting.

I turn it on way earlier than all the FOs that enjoy watching the PM (me) load up with ATC, alt changes, speeds, directs, etc. leaving the busy terminal environment so they can feel super cool modulating pitch and chasing the magenta line while the thrust levers are in the detent.Tell me you leave the autopilot on until 500 feet on every single landing without saying you leave the autopilot on until 500 feet on every single landing.
Interesting, never really heard negative things about FLYING the 737, but no time in it (yet?) that jumpseat though…

BUT they all get very uncomfortable when I tell them I’m turning the FD off on approach in VMC. Two years on the plane and I’ve had zero FOs do that. Just me I guess trying to be proficient on a real visual?
