JP,

Yeah, the only memory item we had was CHECK ESSENTIAL!
I flew for TWA from May 1968 to January 2001 when AA bought TWA.
AA sent us to DAL to get under their OS and I flew as AA until November 2005 (age 60)
I flew the 727, 707, 747, 767 and 757. The 757 was a wonderful plane.
As you know since you flew the 727, the 757 would climb better on one engine than the 727 did with all three running.
At TWA we called the 727 "The Pig!" Every one of the 727 had a pig name. I remember "Swine Flew", "Trough Aloft" and there were so many more. In the CS-727 painted in TWA colors, the plane name is City of Frankfort. I flew 7844 many times based in Berlin. TWA has a small domicile there in the 80's with 727-100's. We were based in Berlin a month at a time and only flew the corridor. It was a great time! Each 727 had a German city name, and each night we were back in Berlin.
