Congratulations Ali! Has anyone taught you the "Captain's Shuffle" yet to get into the left seat? Just reverse the "FO Shuffle" you'll be fine.
Don't bust your knee on the corner of the throttle quadrant.

Charly,
As I recall talking to AR pilots, they called the 727-200 la chancha, because, when departing full, they used the full 8500ft the rwy had to get to V2 and had some pretty low climb rates when leaving grounds, whilst not the same on air.
Never heard the 732s called that way.
Cheers!

Mnnn I don't think they were talking about the B727, It don't have a "chancha" figure :P, I think they were talking about the B732... also they use that name in the FAA for the Hercules.
"En Argentina el 737 cumple desde su llegada una excelente prestación a lo largo de su historia. En Inglaterra y otras partes del mundo el 737 es conocido como "Fat Albert" (El gordo Alberto), pero aquí cariñosamente se lo apoda: Chancha, por su graciosa forma que por supuesto nada tiene que ver respecto a sus prestaciones y a su versatilidad."
