So that's how they kept you out of trouble, eh? Keep you busy every step of the way. :) When you consider everything from before you reached cruising altitude to after you started your descent was done in WAY below zero temperatures, I'm sure you very quickly got good at doing a good part of that checklist with your gloves on, so it's even MORE impressive.

We had silk glove liners so I could remove the gloves when necessary. The liners protected my skin.
