Commute Air Off Runway at ROA

When I upgraded at PSA I would ask every FO I flew with how many hours they had. There were at least 4-5 times that I recall them not having the 75 hours. I would call scheduling and they would replace the FO. Once I had my hours I quit asking.
hope you filed ASAPs or something because thats a pretty glaring regulatory compliance failure

To be clear the call was made before we ever flew the first leg. Usually within the first 5 minutes of getting on the airplane. And to be honest I'm not sure if I filed an ASAP or not. So I never flew with someone that did not have the time.

We had a lot of green on green issues last summer because we had new FOs and CAs on the airframe. Wasn't a big deal - it was flagged on the release but there was a specific condition (software bug) we were dealing with that could allow it to happen. If it did we just called Crew Services and they'd sort it out.

I got 100 hours in the airplane fairly quickly, and I became very popular while on reserve for a while because I was one of the few early FOs to get the hours "on time" and be able to fly with green captains.
 
Like I told a tender-belly over in Seoul.

“There are 50 million people in S. Korea who are also Homo Sapiens. I’m sure the food isn’t going to kill you and we’ll find you something”.

The next day, after taking him out for KBBQ, he said he had the best layover in his career. And that’s scary. Ha! :)
It’s just BBQ, you racist!
