AA vacancy bid

Don't forget that many of the MidAtlantic guys were furloughed (kinda sorta recalled-ish?) mainline guys, some dating from the late 80's. They didn't do so well.

I understand that. But in regards to the AA/US SLI they did pretty well compared to other groups.
 
With the white hair I see at 35 (soon to be 36) I may as well already be a boomer:aghast:

Is it AA policy for the non-flying pilot to keep his hands there at the base of throttle?

Yes. Policy is to “guard thrust levers with positioning hands dangerously close to fuel cutoff switches aligning all fleets with the DC-3.”

Also, to the untrained eye..

The bigger issue here is. Why does he care??? Stay at home order getting rough in his household so much so that he has to go trolling A.NET and ask question of other shops?

Old AA things, that I think or procedure on all Boeing’s. However, in Airbus world, we have beaten that out of them and it’s official written to not put your damn hands there.

I’ve never seen an FO do it as I am an FO (can’t all be captains like @learhawkerbe400) - but many nAAtive captains do it on the airbus because of “throttle creep”. I personally don’t think the airbus throttles would move but .....

Some other carry overs are things like when they say gear up they move their hand up in the air in a gear up gesture. I believe that’s another thing from a long time ago as well. It’s really not as bad or as annoying as an LUS guy makes it out to seem. Just their old habits that aren’t big enough of a deal for the training department to fix or change them.

Because that’s probably what their policy says. Why do you care?

Throttle creep is exactly what I’d call a guy putting his hand on mine while I’m trying to land.

Don’t forget the mechanical checklists.

I think the real Issue we’re looking at here is dry skin, all the hand washing and alcohol wipes are doing a number on everyone!
