Meant to do this last night:
Eh, didn't really come across as a joke at the time, sorry about that. You're right though, plenty of people sharing some good information.
To answer your question, after an "interesting" 135 background, and a few other interviews this past summer, C5 was the door that opened for me. So I'm not saying that C5 was a wrong choice, for me it was THE choice. Now that I'm prior 121 a few more doors are opening for me that were not before, and not just G7, although I was not perusing them this past summer.
@
Polar742 Actually 121 has been growing on me. It's really nice to just head out to the airplane with a stack of paperwork and just go fly. It's frustrating in that there's not much I can do to expedite the operation when things go sideways, which when you're on the IAD ramp can happen quite frequently. But yeah, I've had one or two learning experiences with a few Captains (maybe with @
cmhumphr apparently), but by and large it's been a really good experience.
@
ZapBrannigan , sure we're not related? I can relate to everything you've said, although to be fair you've been a lot more successful than me. One day when we both retire we'll have to compare closets and see who collected the most uniforms.
@
cmhumphr Introduce yourself man! I will admit I've not been as productive as I should've been during my long hours of ready in the IAD crew room. The Blue Book should've gotten more of my attention, but I think I have all the bugs worked out now. We can talk more outside of this thread if you'd like.
