What is your greatest piece of advice

[GypsyPilot]

I know. I think you missed my sarcasm. The FO‘s on the 175 thought you couldn’t fly because you came over from an RJ.

Whoosh! Good one, ha ha. So true.

A courtesy mention of your lack of experience in the 737, in spite of being a long time captain, will build a foundation of crew coordination.

I think there needs to be a slice of humble pie. Captains aren't the know-it-all piece of the puzzle. You need to lean on your FO at times. I have no trouble, even in the position I'm in, telling the FO that I will need help on occasion, and if he/she is seeing something, mention it. I may be doing something he has never seen, and can explain it, or I'm doing something unintentional and heading towards an ASAP.

I’m about to upgrade and I’ve already planned out the part of my briefing that says “you have a lot more experience in your job than I do in mine...”

Are you upgrading on the same equipment?

Yessir

Yessir

777 Capt was calling your name.

747 is way cooler.

747 is way cooler.

I just like to give @Screaming_Emu sh-t about "light twins". Never flown either, obviously. But to me and my totally uninformed self, 777 just looks way smexier.

Pro tip: Give them a heads up if you have resting bitch face. A lot of people misread my demeanor and intentions, but at work it's far more than just an annoyance.

Congrats!!

You're gonna enjoy it, especially after how long it took us to upgrade. It's a game changer.

I always thought if flying night cargo, a resting bitch face is a starting point.

You’ve seen what I look like. Sexy is unimportant to me. Pay rates, redundant systems, bunks, and coffee makers...that’s the important stuff to me.

Not until we have a contract

I also remember what you used to look like too.

Was that in my fatter, skinnier, fatter, or skinnier days?

 

[Maximilian_Jenius]

Skinnier, UND days. Lol. But to be honest I still remember what I USED to look like too.

 

[Screaming_Emu]

Skinnier, UND days. Lol.

Ugh. I try to forget I’ve ever even been to that state.

@Screaming_Emu congrats on the coming upgrade. How long did that take?
