Re: R/T status in KL FIR
veloo,
did you mean the public address systen in the aeroplane? yes yes have to agree. it's a constant point in our operations. i too have heard many that i thought were less than impressive, anyways, far too many factors to this problem. yes, the policy at the moment is still no jumpseat, however i should think that it can be arranged for atc guys if done officially.
probably a call to the correct people would take care of that.
the mh 737 thing mainly now involves doing all take off preparations BEFORE taxy, eg. flaps selection, flight control checks, which would have been done during taxy previously. so maybe a minute or two extra till the onset of requesting taxy clearance.
