I almost never use a size Mac 4 blade when using VL. Mostly a 3. It makes tube delivery with VL a bit more difficult because the bulky blade needs space in the larynx

I generally go from 3 straight to D if I don't get it first go. During the initial COVID waves I started routinely using a bougie to improve my FPS rate, and it's just a short step from that to routinely using HAVL + stylet/steerable bougie from there. I teach VADL but use (HA)VL routinely.
