Hired a JC'er

Very surprised to see all of this Russian being written...even with mistakes. It's funny but at my company I am the only Russian speaker. All of the pilots are American and most have learned a Russian vocabulary of about 50 words or so. Enough to order a beer and find the toilet. So, language is not a requirement.

The language is not a requirement.. but would it be an advantage in the application process? I've muttered a few words in the local language in various parts of the world and have always been amazed at how diplomatic and friendly the response was.
 
Excellent! :)

Thanks for having faith in us, FSI! That's very cool!
 
Thanks for giving it another chance and keeping it in-house FSI. And congrats to the new hire; now out yourself!!!
 
Thanks for keeping it in house FSI!!! And a big congratulations go out to the deserving guy who just scored a cool job!
 
My pleasure for keeping it in house here. Hopefully he will chime in but like I said he in on vacation until the 25th and may not even be reading this.
 
If memory serves, StoneCold has some experience with Them People and their Funny Letterses. Whatever the case, congrats to both of you and a positive experience all the way around. Another JC Success story! Aw, I'm getting all misty, time to go kick the wife and pet the dog. Seriously, though, thumbs up.

I just now stumbled upon this thread. Sorry it took so long, but like Allen said, I've been on a week long cruise, getting some loose ends tied up, and heading back to Kiev for a short stint. Then off to Moscow to butcher the language even more than a Texan should...remember, I've been learning a little bit of Russian from Ukrainians!!:insane:

Yeah, I know the Ukrainian alphabet, Russian alphabet, some Russian I have picked up along the way, taught by Ukrainians, and Rosetta Stone so I'm screwed!!

Ain't that the truth. Talk about paying dues...try dealing with Ukrainians with Nepolian syndrome for over 2 years. It's been a great learning experience, but it is getting time to move on!!

It's easy. CL300 has a button which switches the altimeter from feet to meters but shows you both. A meter box appears on top of the altimeter tape. The altimeter knob on the FMGCP will control the numbers in the meters box when this function is engaged. Very helpful for us. No cheat sheet needed.
 
Very handy!

Considering I'm flying a plane that was "way fly" in the 1980's, modern technology is a little intimidating! :)
