Exactly. I am starting to sense a thin skinned person, who will only accept platitudes for posting a list of squawks that have been around since Jesus was a baby.

I wish i could get a DME that was louder than 'just barely audible'.
If its too loud you can just turn down your david clarks, but there is never a way to turn it up.
They only ident twice a minute, iirc, so you should be able to hear them when the opportunity arises.
Also, iirc, I was using Mosaic on a 486 the 1st time i read this list.

1. adverbs usually end in "ly" "you kids have to stop taking things so serious" should use the adverb form "seriously"

2. presently there are less than 700,000 o'club posts, so the "18 billionth time" this particular list has been posted is inaccurate, even if we spread the posting to other bbs's

3. I doubt very seriously that targeting radar or altitude hold devices were in existance when Jesus was a baby, unless the reference was to Jesus Alou, which would make the reference much less impressive.

Why? Care to make a point rather than a dumb comment?

Well i take it you're an A&p mech who lacks a sense of humor. Good for you. But being such, if you dont know what happened to the A&P mechs at northwest then perhaps you should go read some newspapers about your profession since yo utake it so SERIOUSLY. lol

You still dont explain how your NWA reference is relevant to the thread at all. What the heck are you driving at? You don't even give any hint of your concern.

And I am plenty aware of the situation at NWA, trust me. I am sure a lot better than you are.

The fact that they laid off many of their experienced mechanics and outsourced their aircraft maintenane. Just showing that if he thinks it's really bad, it could be worse with the way airliens might go.

Happy? Probably not, you dont seem like the type of guy who knows what happy is lol.

For your information, NWA is the identifier used world wide in aviation for Northwest Airlines.

UAL - United Airlines
AAR - American Airlines
DAL - Delta

etc etc.

They laid off many mechs yes, but that was back in 2003. They are outsourcing work yes. But the exact same thing has happened at all the legacy carriers. Name one airline in the USA that hasn't done the same. Tell me how NWA differs.

Bet you can't.

I had a pilot try that with me once. I met the Falcon 20, asked the pilot if there were any writeups, he said "yeah, the xxxxx receiver isnt working". (xxxxx because I dont remember what he said for sure". I looked at him and said, "what the heck is that, never heard of that before". Dissapointed he admitted it was something he made up to see if I would pretend I knew what it was. Both pilots and the "flight mech" were in on it, they had their little joke foiled by my honesty. Joke ended up on them.

I'm just glad you have a good sense of humor

. Trying to remember
all the stuff noobs were sent to find:

Bucket of jetwash
Metric Adjustable Wrench
Left-handed crosspoint screwdriver
Keys to the jet
50 foot of flightline

I'm sure the list goes on and on, but I got out in 84 and my memory is
hazy

Outta all the avionics dials & switches,there are two knobs in the cockpit that cause 99% of all aircraft accidents.

Learned that one in AME college.
