Sitting in a hotel bar in a notorious corporate destination which rhymes with skeetertoro, listening to some 20-somethimg bags trading stories about their heroics with 'no gpu!' trying to start the thing. Jesus. Where's my mitsi?

So there i was... 15c, no gpu, and ceilings were falling to 2000 ovc at my destination. Damn near had to cancel the flight. Thankfully after sweating bullets for five minutes and 3 phone calls, i found one on the field. The horror!

Come on, don't try to lie and say you could start the MU-2 with a GPU! The only horror stories my friends in the Metro have that don't involve NTS, the nosewheel steering trying to kill them, the plane not pressurizing correctly, screwy electrical systems, a horribly designed airplane, NTS, nosewheel steering trying to kill them and being awesome because they fly the Metro all have to do with how the best way to get a hot start in the thing is a battery start.

Now that you're flying corporate, I'm shocked that your posts don't come with a "posted from my iPhone" sig line. And an extra helping of baggery.

Ah. You've found the Teterhole. Are you at a hotel in Sea Cock Us?

 

[WacoFan]

Am I the only one picking up a distinct feminine vibe from Boris now? I'll bet he even wears clean clothes and combs his hair now...

Buck Up, Lil' Camper! Pretty soon, you will be shuckin' and jivin' with the rest of the limo drivers. Your restless mind will wander from the crew rooms where you are now welcome and your thirst for taste of stale coffee and 2 a.m. cigarettes will only grow stronger. Congrats on the new job and don't scare the puppies too badly with stories of the Moo. You don't want any more people in this industry thinking you are crazy for flying such a *dangerous* airplane. P.S. Nice tie.

 

[braunpilot]

It's your own fault for taking the j-o-b. For the record congrats. As far as the corn pups, send them my way. And remind them to bring a seat! I haven't had a second seat next to me in over a month.

And I only had 2 hours of fuel.

Are you at CPS or SUS? We've missed you in the Order since you've left. It's been rather bland.

SUS, sadly. My sole consolation is that my old company still has a mitsi parked out there on a Quest run. I can drive by if I can manage not to hit anything through the tears. And yes, waco, I am 100% emasculated. Have to go, think I got some mascara on my tie.

Only time I ever flew with a flight director, found it to be more of a distraction.

It becomes more of an aid the more you use it. I use it quite a bit now.

Depends on the type, I think. The flight directors we have in the 402 are useless. The ones I used when I flew RJs were much nicer.

Last time I was at the 'boro, I had a King Air 90 SIC scoff at me. I couldn't figure out if it was because my jeans weren't pressed, or because my plane had 3 different shades of primer on it.

The last time I was in Teterboro, it took the line guys 5hrs from beginning to end to unload the metro. It made my duty day way long!
