No one cares they’re on flight “fifty two ninety eight”. You can delete the flight number and keep on trucking.
seriously? I’ve never heard of anyone washing out at mainline.

I think I know who you're talking about. Hope that rumor is not true- if that is who I think it is, I always liked him, though I know most people didn't enjoy flying with him.

Yeah. You know how rumors are. It's probably crap.

I’m so glad I fly freight. Y’all are dumb.

We've had several new hires out make it through in the past year or so. When everybody coming through had 6000+ hours it probably wasn't common, but when newbies have 1501 hours in a cessna and then 3 months at Skywest, it isn't all that unusual.
Interesting. What’s tripping them up?

I keep threatening to record one of those and play it over the PA while all the deadheaders are sleeping.

SOOOOOOO, I actually sat on this guys jumpseat this past summer, and then again in the back a few weeks later, despite the "grand" welcome aboard announcement, he was actually a really good guy, one that you'd wanna go out and have a few drinks with, he's also the FO....

I’m flying late tomorrow night with 6 dead headers. Why am I just now reading this idea? It would have been epic!!

I’ve been making PAs but I get the feeling no one is listening.

“Any questions?”
“Yes leader, you said that it’s you responsibility for safety of passengers and cargo but above all the rules, shouldn’t a goal towards safe operation of flight be “above all” and not “the rules”, and is that your back up belt because your other one broke?”

I'm not an instructor pilot, but from what some friends have said, it's a combination of not being able to make decisions (FOs mostly play captain in our new hire sim program) and attitude.

Do you really have to ask?
It’s funny, we had a leadership seminar, and one slide was logos that would come on when they would click the button and they asked the class to say the first word that comes to mind. So for “Delta” the word arrogant got thrown quick (no, it wasn’t me). Southwest came next and it was “cowboys” and “fast.” United got positive comments.
