Can't wait until 411A joins this party! And I'm sure he'll have some silly anecdote from the 60's that won't even pertain to this, and of course the Tristar will be mentioned.
Sorry Dan, no TriStar, this time.

However, when I checked out on the B707 in the early seventies, my PanAmerican instructor mentioned that you can always tell a new Captain, as they tend to be rather careful with taxiing.
He also mentioned...'keep it that way if you know what's good for you.'
And yes, we did a last minute configuration check, then as well

you shouldn't taxi faster than a man can walk.
About sums it up.
