I believe the ref call out below 500ft was the most dumb call out of them all when I flew the brasilia. So during the most critical phase of flight you're going to have all of that unnecessary chatter? If you're +5 or -0? Sure! But other than that, shut up and enjoy the ride.

@UAL747400, all GOM's pretty much are the same. They are mostly written by the same companies contracted by the various operations.

Don't are starting to sound more and more like management everyday. :)

As far as AMF's uniform policy goes....it's been a couple of years since I've been there. but I recall that the tie was an option if the temps more than 85. The polo shirt option came out after I left, but I'm sure it's written in the handbook that it's an option. So pilots aren't breaking any policy by wearing them and it shouldn't reflect their professionalism. I never noticed any difference between a good pilot or bad one on how nice their uniform looked.

The problem with policy and procedures at AMF and a lot of operators is that they are usually done as a knee jerk reaction to an incident. They rarely look at outside factors such as fatigue and workload. Many additional procedures added that weren't meant to increase also task saturate flight crew. Hence why flying a chieftan for AMF is equivalent to piloting a space shuttle. During training in that sim, instructors were beating you over the head with flows and procedures while you flew the airplane into a mountain.

Basically what I'm saying is don't major in the minors. :)

Ouch, we'll if it's any consolation, I'm not a jerk to anyone yet, but I do politely get on people's cases daily until they fix something I don't like. :) Yeah, I make people wear the stripes at a minimum now. Not the tie, yet. Haha We use the airline terminals. No reason Venezuelans and Liat should look more proffesional. Personal opinion, but its my base and I don't like the polo. :) Something I thought could be inspired to do so, not so much I guess... I don't know how one feels good about themselves going through security while wearing a Polo behind a guy that's going to go jump into a freight Caravan wearing a clean pilot uniform. Or at the same time as United or Delta. Too much pride? Whatever I guess.

Maybe the phrasing is all wrong. Does "attention to detail" make ones head explode less?

Sorry, but without the ability to do line checks due to staffing, yes, the clean, on time, post flight perfectly complete, lands on the 1000 footers, complete paperwork, tie wearing guys are the best. They were the best when I and my predecessor could do line checks and they also had the best checkrides.

For what it's worth at this point, sweating the small things was something I took from my predecessor. Who was a captain in the Airforce and Airforce Academy grad...

Oh and BQN has been the only base that has consistently met the 99.7 on-time performance goal for the last 2 years. 100% for this month.

The small things don't matter though, you're all right... :)

I like the 500 foot call. It's an objective place for either crew member or single pilot guy to go around. Pretty sure ALL of the landing incidents at AMF would have been prevented by a disciplined adherence to this, particularly the Metro. (Referring to the flight idle types..)

Wait... you don't have time/staffing to be doing line checks and observations?

But you are ensuring your guys wear stripes so they don't look less professional than delta or united when going through security?

I think you pretty much just proved the point a bunch of us were trying to make.

I'm not sure you read anything I wrote at all...

Let me clarify a little more, MAKING them sweat the small things improved everything. The uniform is only one of many things. I was using it as a specific example. If you don't care what you look like at work, it's been pretty positively correlated that you don't care about big things in the plane. The ASAPs and incident reports follow it exactly at this base. The polo is approved, but it looks horrible. It's grey with blue letters...

Like I said, this base is the most reliable in the entire company. Until I'm shown otherwise that the small things aren't the reason, we're (anyone disagreeing) is at a crossroads... This base was AWFUL under every other ACP until the previous one took over.

Damn, you beat me to it.
 
Unless I'm mistaken, the naysayers are all line pilots only, correct?

Yeah, I've only been a training captain and management at a lowly frieght company, but I'm still right.

Yes @z987k I'm going to be a crotch pheasant/full of myself/egotistical about this... :)

Sorry, but until you're in a position like that, you're just not going to see the big picture with this.

Do you really think that amongst the diverse group here on JetCareers, that there are not other people that have significant leadership and management experience both in and out of the aviation industry? Leadership and management experience that might even exceed yours?

EDIT: removed antagonistic penis measuring post.
