I remember that, there was a reason for it. It'll come to me and I'll have
to get back. It had something to do with persistent or repetitive negative
G, or always maintaining positive G for cabin integrity over time...or
something like that. It's funny because you train people to do things and
sometime don't teach them the reasons why.

Right, right...it is actually controlled by tabs, my slip. Boy, not
many know that either, I'll bet. Anyway, if you pull too hard, they
stall, that is won't move, So you have to relax the back pressure
almost completely and then pull not so hard the next time. Weird
feeling when you are descending, trying to check altitude quickly, and
don't know what's happening.

i retrained a lot of 707 guys on the 727 and the 'Bus and they had the
weirdest way of flying! They'd start to interecept an altitude with
thousands of feet to go sometime. They also used to just about have a
heart
attack if you used the speedbrake.
