This time I actually payed attention, and you're sort of correct - actually on the classics, they also stay off (maybe some do, some don't who know's, it might have been yet another Boeing 'option', the one's I fly don't come on though). But it's the good 'ol -200's (the
real classics!) where they
do actually come on in the descent
I learn (remember) something new (old) every day.
