Coming from the 727 when we had a flight engineer to efficiently download systems to isolate faulty circuits I think the new checklist mentality is to not overload the two pilots with checklists but just say leave it powered and get on the ground as soon as possible. Hopefully we will never have single pilot airliners or we will have to sacrifice even more safety to keep costs down. Yes, retirement is the answer. Actually, I quit 5 months early because of lump sum payout and it was sweet. No checklists at all. Hope your retirement is as great as mine. I loved every minute of my flying career but this is better. Doug
