Lou -

Magic! Pure magic! That can't be by design! Total mystery! Thanks.

I worked for Frontier Horizon here in DEN for the only year of their existence ----1984. I got to know most of the flite crews and, as a result, I got to ride the jump seat about a dozen times. We had 7 722s and our rtes were DEN to SFO/ORD/LGA/IAD/TPA/MCO. It was a blast. Had no clue what went on up there at the time. Wish I could do it again!

I started a flt today IFR JFK to STL (TWA) and botched it because I was thinking about the video and responding to atc instructions instead of paying attention to business. I was at probably 6-7000 ft over Manhattan when I realized I still had flaps 5! I was so disgusted I quit the flight (because I couldn't use the replay for video) and shut down for the day. I'll refly it tomorrow. We're getting a foot of snow tonight so I'll have the whole day. I have trouble multi-tasking! I'll never be able to do it by the numbers as JP says it's done!!  :-[
