See you guys in Atlanta! I have the 3-330 slot!

This job is amazing. People make it harder than it actually is.

About dang time

As a new captain this thread is awesome. Caught myself moving my hand towards the flap handle yesterday and thought better of it.

Now they're not so sure it was an adhesive. Sounds like they're sending most of the controllers to the hospital to be evaluated

A contractor spilled an adhesive in one of the air handler rooms. Funes spread and controllers became sick. My buddy had just left before this happened.

My wife is from Michigan and we now live in West Virginia. She grew up an hour north west of Detroit and were already talking about moving to Michigan in the next few years. I had a negative perception of the state but I've grown to love it. Especially spending time up north.

I flew the 200 for just shy of 3 years. I actually enjoyed it

SWA is my dream job. Hopefully I start logging PIC time before summer

Wait..... isn't that the chemtrail tank?

I just finished SOE last week and it looks like I may get 145 CA within the next month or 2. I was hired the end of October

Thought this was good

Today I finally finished training with Piedmont and earned a Dash 8 type rating! Now it's time to see what all of this "beta" talk is about!

Two new type ratings, (finishing one up now), and upgrade.

Perfect! Thank you!

Anyone have any recommendations of a CPA that specializes in pilots? The CPA I used last year had never done an airline pilot before and there was a ton of confusion. I'd love to find someone that knows exactly what can and cannot be done. I did a quick google search but I'm kinda leary on...

Have there been any issues with the pilot uniforms?

The plan is to retire all the 100s over time and keep the 300s. Our instructor told us they plan on keeping the 300 around until 2020. Sounds like ROA will be the Dash base and PHL the jet base.

One person is

Recruiters said to expect the Dash, first day in training they said the jet, then the second day we got Dash manuals. I was fine with either airframe

Hey guys Just made the jump to Piedmont and I'm in the market for a good headset for the Dash 8. The company requires TSO. I plan on transitioning to the 145 later next year. Any suggestions? I currently have the Bose QC15 setup. Anyone know the TSO process and cost to have them converted?

They switched my class to all Dash 8.

We find out tomorrow. Sounds like my class will be ERJ.

Started at PDT today. Hearing Nov and Dec will only have 1 class each but 24 are confirmed for both. A friend and I interviewed a week apart and I started today while the next available for him was December and other guys in his group was Jan.

Saw a DAL MD80 takeoff on 33 in DCA this summer. I believe it's only 5,000ft.

Mine is paid for at AWAC.

Management says an announcement is coming. Spoke with a manager and he said this program will take 3 years to see a return on investment. One manager told a buddy of mine to expect an additional flying announcement soon.

Just checked and still not open

Anyone here use Dr Shewmaker at MCO for their medical?

I did my ME at ATP about 6 years ago when they were running a $1000 special. Did it in 2-3 days with 4 hours going into the checkride.

I put my harness on after the before takeoff checklist and take it off once around 5000 or so. It then comes back on during vectors and off as I'm making contact with ground.

Come on guys. We all know that a theater is far more important than our careers. :sarcasm:

For ever leg I write down the out and in time, log ten pro automatically puts in the amount of night based off of the times. For imc I normally just estimate it. Example: I block 1 hour. About half of the flight is imc, I log .5 actual. I try to update my logbook after every trip. If its...

I log night, imc, and any approaches that I fly.

If i have to wait for than 15 minutes, no tip. If I have to load/unload my bags, no tip. Id bet some van drivers in bigger cities make more than a first year FO or FA.

Done

That was my initial feeling. Lately I've had a few hit the emergency button instead of the PA while on landing rollout.

Here's a scenario I had not long ago Short final into DCA and aircraft is fully configured. FA calls up and says someone just went into the lav. What do you do? We did a go around but I'm not so sure it was safer than just landing.

Not AWAC

Spot on.
