Definitely hear 9000 or whatever flight numbers doing test flighty things over OKC from time to time

Are mx ferry flights normally flown by reserve guys or management types?

I’ve known a few of those nerds.

That happens everywhere. There was a free software patch to the E-GWPS that would have given a couple seconds sooner warning to 1354 at KBHM. Company didn't install it. Might have made a difference.

Can’t forget the infamous TCAS story. I’m sure you know a lot more than me about it. Hell we’re still trying to figure out the “anomaly” on SIDS out of certain airports. That’s been almost 4yrs for me personally.

I part of the 350 FCF circle. It's... interesting. I volunteered for it on the 320 as well. Nothing like block altitudes and intentionally playing with Alpha PROT in a n airbus over the west of the shores of San Salvador.
