Narrative:

Reference 'callback' (feb 1995) issue, front page, from angels to grumps...first it was 'gump.' then it was 'gumps.' now I read it as 'grumps.' soon, will it be 'gramps?' or maybe 'grams?' or is it 'gump' and 'gramps?' or 'grams' and 'gramps?' or 'grumps' and 'gramps?' what happened to the old fashioned way, namely, using the original checklist that was certificated with the airplane?
