I have to think, most airlines and aircraft have a similar checklist.
Thanks for the info. I notice that there is nothing mentioned about minimizing delays or advising ATC about an extended delay(one would have to decide what their definition of extended is). I would think that lack of direction is similar at most airlines. Therefore, good judgement based on the specifics of a situation, once again becomes the all-important factor.
