oh man that was a great read! Totally made my day. Thank you so much for posting it Jim.

i love the part on top of page 4 :

"In case of last-minute snags—like testy airport personnel refusing to tug the airplane out—thrust reversers can be used to power back from the gate. See ya."

reminds me of flying sometimes in x-plane using the 737s reversers to push back since X-plane doesn't have a nice push cart for us.

yes, thanks Jim, great article! Next time my flight is cancelled I'll have another reason to mention to fellow SLF
