No Fly List

[8LegDay]

At CAL we can put "avoid flying with" in PBS groups. Works for all - FO's, IRO's and CA's.
Up to 50 persons if those are your only preferences.

"FOs off that they can't use their iPod in flight"

Are you kidding? I've NEVER seen an operating crewmember use an ipod at my airline. I think that's pretty unprofessional. If I flew with an F/O that wanted to use one, and it was in cruise, and he missed ONE call, that would be the end of it.

I heard a story about an F/O that pulled out his book as soon as the after takeoff check was done. This Capt let it ride a few times to see if it was a habit, which it was, and then asked him to wait until above 18K, at least. Sounds good to me.

I'm not quite in the 121 world yet, and I do own an iPod but I'd never use it when acting as a crew member. In my opinion, if somene wants to listen to their iPod in the cockpit then they should do so while on IOE, they can tell us how that works out.

Or at least refuse to fly with you?

While I'm at it, I refuse to fly with feds in the JS.

lol, awesome. Or how about putting all the company's check pilots on your no fly list. lol.

True, but you don't have to use a headset to hear the guy next to you in your car, either, so you've already got the ear phones on all the time. The way my headset is setup is anytime anybody breaks the squelch, be it another crew member or ATC it'll cut out the music.

Aren't iPods listened to with small earpieces/headphones? Those arent' legal to be used in cars, because it distracts from hearing sounds of the road, like police sirens, etc. If the iPod were to be used over the speakers in the cockpit, now you've got the issue of two people, perhaps of different age generations, agreeing or not agreeing on type of music to be listened to!

I'm sorry, but I don't think it's asking too much to turn the iPod off for a few hours.

I don't need a headset at cruise in the CRJ, either. Shoulda gone for a jet, dude.

A) Jets are for hot tubs
B) Those CRJs and ERJs are to easy to fly
C) My first jet will have more than two flight attendants

:yar:

Props are for boats

From what I hear, so is the 1900 once it's trimmed out.

C) My first jet will have more than two flight attendants

You keep saying you're gonna fly the -900.

I'd much rather screw people all across the country than blow them!

Agreed, in addition, I'd rather have two slow screws than 4 fast blows.
