I believe the folks who did not receive CJOs did zero prep for the interview. Just because the flood gates are open doesn't mean you have an automatic ticket to the right seat. There also is a lack of qualified CAs at the Regional level, as you stated.

Current again after not touching a small plane since October 2020.

I’m guilty of using instagram, but I mainly just look at other JCer’s adventures and dog pictures. I did invite Derg over for a BBQ when he was passing though DTW, but he gave me the cold shoulder…. To your point, yes, that would be interesting to see. To be honest, I think we already know the...

True. However, you’ll never catch me posting anything racist, political or company specific that will come back to bite me in the ass. That is what I meant, but yes, you are correct, this is a platform of the socials.

Because there is nothing private on any social media platform. Period. I have seen this happen on our internal union forum, as well. It’s suppose to be private and for union members only, but it only takes one sour grape and that post makes it back to the ACP office. Just don’t post anything...

I have no idea how people like this guy.

Black New Balances: Check

We bought in ‘18 at 5%. Refinanced in late ‘19 at 2.5% (best $1000 I ever spent) and have 65-75% equity in the home.

I get what you’re saying, but you missed my point. They’re called fractional operators also known as 91K, not NetJet and FlexJet type flying. Here’s some light reading: 91K You make it sound like Netjets and Fexjet aren’t the place to be, why? If it suits your lifestyle/flying ambitions, it’s...

What’s a formal “NetJets and FlexJet type”? Do you mean fractional? I’m sure folks would explain this to you if you weren’t so condescending towards towards their career path. Sure, you think you’re being funny, but I hate to be the barer of bad news, the internet is a difficult place to pick...

Because CAE and FSI essentially have the same procedures/flows. The manufacture of the airframe publishes them and the training facilities puts their stamp on them and changes the cover. You're literally comparing apples to volley balls. Also, drop the *corpie* thing. It's getting old and...

Mandatory: No. Recommended: Yes.

They're not noisier, but they're pretty noisy compared to similar jet aircraft. At Brown, the 75 is ridiculously noisy. They removed every piece of sound proofing they could. It's common to switch a pack off at positive rate.

Where ya headed, @derg ?

We agree there. Even with 3000+ hrs on the 75/76 it catches me off guard at times (late/early engagement).

Spoilers and auto brakes is enough braking. Aerodynamic braking is not a thing in category class aircraft. The problem is, when the auto brakes and spoilers activate, it’ll create a lot of down force, which can catch newer folks off guard.

I’m willing to bet that 76 will be fixed and have a cargo door cut within the next few years.

Indeed they did and the aircraft is flying again. There were quite a few MEL’s on this aircraft including auto speed brakes, which was a contributing factor; the airport at which it happened is known for the mechanical turbulence coming off the Lufthansa hangar. The CA happens to be a good...

Most folks that I've flown with don't do this, especially in busy airspace or during day hours. It creates more of a hassle for controllers. At night, in the middle of no where, they'll utilize the opti-climb - sometimes.

Ha. Yep, ramp 9.

Nothing has changed since you retired. 99% of the time we fire up the APU taxiing in, unless it's one of few gateways that ACARS us with "Ground power available." More times than not, there'll be a mechanic at the gate standing next to a GPU that's not turned on. By the time they get it going...

This is kind of still accurate. I'm not sure if you were around when they unveiled JCT, but most of our notifications come through JCT and populate in the notification section. If it's an urgent notification, CMS will still prompt you to log into JCT to acknowledge it, but not always. I kind of...

You can PM your email. I went in my saved folder and can’t seem to find the chain, it’ll take some digging since it probably got lost in the archives. It might be saved on my desktop or lap top at home, which I’ll check when I get back.

Most FSDO’s, including OKC do as well. I have the email chain to prove it.

If he's a domestic guy, I'm pretty sure I know who you're talking about. He is notorious for referring to himself as an ahole. That's why I don't bid base flying.

I responded to your PM. You can leave it at that, or if you want, we can carry on the conversation in this thread, it's up to you. I didn't mention anything about "uplifting one by putting down another." Beef has a diverse background, which could possibly give a little insight to someone...

Nah, man, you definitely should. You bring a lot of insight with a diverse background and you don't sugar coat it. Your synopsis would be beneficial to a lot of younger folks here who are trying to get a foot in the door. Don't worry about CC, he's a curmudgeon.

DHL Jet Ranger in EWR. This was a first for me, I've never seen a cargo livery on a helicopter.

Absolutely! Most folks at Brown are checking out 60-63, very few are actually staying until 65. Our pension kicks in at 60, so that’s a big deciding factor for us. If I can live comfortably at 55, I’ll retire; if not, I’ll stay till 60.

That's cringe.

For comparison. The tow company I worked for was out of OH, so the winter months were slow. We were still flying 1200-1500hrs/yr. So, being a Southern based towing company, I can definitely see how this would checkout.

Even within CG limits and close to gross, you’ll need to pull the yoke to the aft limits to get the nose off the ground.

This! I chose my employer for many reasons, not just their pension plan. It's an extremely nice perk (if it lasts). My retirement is setup as if I don't have a pension. When it comes time to retire, the pension will be bonus fun tokens.

We had the ATA mafia at Omni. They all were fantastic guys and had to some pretty crazy stories.

I was going to say no. However, he’s going back to his Ebonics roots in his next post. Not quite as eccentric as posts under his form810 name, but there are a lot of similarities. I’d say it’s a fair bet it’s space monkey/form810 v2.0

Like DE727UPS said. It’s close enough to Worldport where you can pick-up open time trips, but just outside the on call window. Unless you get the lucrative long callout. Congratulations on the new home! I’m sold on the property, 3 acres sounds like a hell of a good time.
