I hate those things. One is at 90.4, the other 90.3. Push the low one up, nothing. A little more...nothing. A little more. Then it jumps right to 90.5.

Professionalism...is sometimes lacking.

JTrain, look in the FOM. On the release there is a letter, I think it's typically S, which says how dispatch planned the flight. Other options were T, F, or something. I think XJT always filed for best time/fuel efficiency. Other options were for best time only, best fuel economy, etc...
It's been a while, so I don't remember the exact details.

That's just, like, your opinion, man

No such issues on the mini-RJ. Must be lack of talent in the pilot pool.

I do suck. But I'd also be willing to bet that even our lowest time -200 has at least 100 times the cycles that yours does.

True dat. And you probably also have pilots that like to move the thrust levers to maintain ATC assigned or federally regulated airspeeds...which equals additional wear and tear.

This bothers you?
Engine 1....VIB meter-Green, Oil-Green, not on fire. Check
Engine 2....VIB meter-Green, Oil-Green, not on fire. Check

If you get it within 0.1%, you're ahead of the game!
Does anyone else fly with guys who think synching the N2's will make the problem better? Because it never does.

You're flying the 700
, you don't even have to look in the first place. Syncing the engines and pushing the throttles up in the climb is not a part of your world. Ah FADEC, I want my 700/900 back.

I've flown with at least one guy that preached that. You're right, it didn't make a difference.

Still have to get them into the climb detent when climbing, but yeah you're right, other then that they are pretty hands off.
Then again with all the FADAC fails we seem to get................

Other types as well....
Like "L/R FADAC Fail"
Shortly followed by "L/R Engine Degrade"
Followed by...."Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm afraid we have a little bad news from up front here............... "

It's really fun when BOTH engines do that within about 5 minutes of each other.

If the airlines:
1. Pay you like a professional
2. Treat you like a professional
3. Demand higher standards (I think the standards are to low)
The resultant will be more professional behavior. This behavior is endemic to a system that doesn't care about employees or safety as much as the bottom line

If it ain’t a Boeing, I’m not going. No choice.
I could not disagree more.
You are a professional. Or you're not. You have the integrity to do the best job that you can do. Or you don't. You give it 110% every time you drive to the airport. Or you make the CHOICE not to.
If you need someone to pay you a few dollars more to do your job right, then you need to look in the mirror. Be a professional because that is WHO YOU ARE. Not because of how someone else treats you. That's their problem.

I'm with you. All of those things would be nice, but professionalism should be something that should come from within. That's one of my favorite things about visiting Japan. Even the guy who cleans the restroom at the train station thinks "this is my job, I'm going to do it to the best of my ability." Here most things are done with a "what's in it for me?" attitude.
Other than the ability to attract higher quality applicants, increasing pay, respect, etc won't increase professionalism at a company. Employees at google don't magically become great as soon as they are hired because its such a great place. Everyone knows they're a great place to work, so they are flooded with applicants, enabling them to pick the best.

I think you missed the point. Professionalism SHOULD be something that comes from within (should being key). Also, this isn't my philosophy. I don't ascribe and default to being unprofessional because of my pay. I am making an observation of the human condition. Low pay deters some of the best and brightest to go to other fields of work. There are many studies that I could cite proving this. It naturally follows that the regional airlines are going to have, I surmise, a lesser number of professionals than other fields. A lot of pilots do the bare minimum to pass the PC and keep collecting their paychecks. This is in stark contrast to other professionals such as lawyers, who must shepardize, or look for new relevant case law constantly. Every other professional career that I can think of requires constant research, study, and diligence.

That is the point of my post!!! Think about the point I was trying to make before making a slap-dash response.
