....or, in the case of SR111, to convince the guys behind the poles to land NOW, never mind overweight.. .One very old captain told me many years ago...always be nice to the flight engineer BECAUSE he is closest to the fire axe.. .Have not flown a public transport jet without one, and do not intend to start now.
