I thought that was a limitation in case the CRT displays on the CRJ overheated? No more than 5 minutes but that's what an ex CRJ guy told me. Our SOP says somebody has to stay with the airplane if it's powered. Guess it kinda makes sense.

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
I'm half-Texan and I still wouldn't move back to Texas for work! Ick!
I came from Arkansas so...

Like me being from Fresno, seeing a bunch of relatively clean-ish dirt in Phoenix and exclaiming, "Well, TARRRRRNATIONS, set down the home stead"

Born in PIT but spent longer living in Arkansas than anywhere else I've ever lived.

Being a captain at a regional ain't all it's cracked up to be.

I totally agree. It's miserable. At least where I am.

Captains be like "I got hired first so I must be a better pilot than you!" [emoji849][emoji23]

Well when I was an AM reserve in a base with ridiculous reserve staffing levels...
Nighttime: Turn my phone ringer up as loud as it'll go, go to sleep.
Wake up at 11am with half my 4-4 reserve block over with.
Go to the gym, play Xbox, cook, general tomfoolery until 4pm and I was off the hook. Pretty much paid to exist within two hours of the airport.

Wake up at 11am, check the Atlas schedule.
Pack my bags. Jumpseat on reserve to South America.
Google "How to fake fireworks photoshop".
Post online about how much smarter than everyone else I am.
You bring up a great point. What makes a "cool" FO? How bubbly/talkative do Captains like their FO's? Is it bad to be a FO with a chilled out, quiet personality?
Ha - based on his post, I get the sense that he's one of the Captain's who you won't care in the least if he thinks you're "cool." And every Capt is different. Be yourself, polite, professional, and competent and 99% of Capts will think you're plenty cool. And vice versa. Some will prefer if you share their political views/hate of management or airline X/whatever their cause may be, but the vast majority are like anyone else you'd meet in any other setting - normal guys just like you, trying to get the job done.
