Same as drinking.

I don't know b6's issues off hand, however it sounds like the same problem we had (before my time @Polar742 might know better ). If they needed to run the APU, it was because they most likely could not get ground power, thus running into PBIT> "flight control no dispatch" EICAS message.

The more I think about the systems the more I'm forgetting (I'm not getting paid to know E170 systems for the time being). The hydraulic PBIT was what did our birds in (same systems as the 190). Once we start the second engine, and put the hydraulics 1&2 into auto, is when the hydraulic BITest is started. Hydraulics and Electrics both have a 50hour countdown timer. Hydraulics rarely go below 40, however I've seen the electrics dip into the 20hour range, which means the aircraft has been powered for 20+ hours.

There are a few gremlins still lurking. The airplane gets confused and you lose brakes/steering if you start the APU as you shutdown the engine.

I'd be more than happy to learn the 737 nuances, I'm sure there are quarks in that old bird too.

There was something in the variance of the GPU vs the constant power of the APU gen

I could have sworn when I was departing out of Houston a few days ago I saw some -135's with the tails all blue and the united express tiles taken off. Was I wrong?

I think we have a few still flying and saw some a couple weeks ago flying passengers. Unfortunately they will be leaving well before I get a chance to fly one.

Really classy answer.

So is this the kind of personality HR is looking for at the Legacies? If so, I think maybe I do need to go back to corporate. I can't imagine a 4 day with a guy like that.

Yep. I could never go to the majors. Mostly because of guys like that. You mutter the wrong vocabulary word or make one simple mistake and they not only personally rake you over the coals but tell everyone including the chief pilot you could never be a captain. And those guys were the losers that got stuck at my last job. No thanks.
 
There are people with bad attitudes throughout the business.

Every business.

So what!


Eat around them like red onions on a salad. Ick.
