I thought you were hired during the old training syllabus? When we did 8-5 class and no CBT'S?

Not sure man. I did the 175 training in Denver. After indoc they assigned us like 27 CBTs or something. I spent about 4-5 hrs a day on them.

Bah... 23 hour 3 days or 14 hour 2 days. Gotta get that Perdiem!

I do not think it is encouraged, although I make sure as an FO to have the FAs hand JSers water even if the CA does not say a word about it. I want to set a precedent. Kidney stones are all too common for pilots.

Funny, I was riding a SouthernJets jumpseat back home the other day and the CA and FO, both commuters, commented how whenever they jumpseat on SkyWest (or most any regional for that matter) if they ask for water they get the full big bottle where as on SJI the best they can get is the tiny single gulp bottles.
If you're traveling back east (with MSP, ORD, DTW, or ATL crews especially), I'd wager a guess it's a very junior FA who simply doesn't know to offer. I've done quite a few trips lately with FA's just off their IOE and it's been a struggle (especially since I'm not used to the DL galley setup so I don't yet know where things are to grab them myself). Just ask. I doubt you'd ever get any grief from the FA's, well, unless it's an AA CRJ-200 route where catering seems to think two 2-liter bottles is all the plane needs for a full day of flying.

It’s not that, they just know the airplane won’t make the full day of flying before it breaks down so they figure “eh-good enough”.

Everyone jokes about it but I gotta say, the CRJ gave me good luck.
Maybe it's because I'm polite to it

Are you a new hire or upgrade? I head that there is no more systems test for upgrade, its all on CBTs. I have no idea if there is limitations test anymore either.

Oh I have moved on from the Mormon Airforce to Southern Submarine Commandars. Seems like all airlines train via death by CBT now a days

As much as one desires once you hold a line. Reserves fly a decent amount and there’s always stuff to pick up on days off.

So to update my question, it must a new FA thing. Last leg home jumpseating the FA immediately asked if I wanted a water.
I also think it’s an expiriance thing. Anyone with 5+ years immediately asks if I want anything, the newer ones don’t seem to. This is a sample for all airlines not just the mormon Air Force.

It is. Whenever I get on the plane to work at 9E the senior ones almost immediately give us water and a trash bag. Most of the new ones I have to ask for something which isn’t a big deal either.

It sounds like you've been able to figure it out, but yeah it's mostly a newer flight attendant thing. Apparently in indoc and CQ they scare all flight attendants into not giving out waters; to themselves, flight crews, or jumpseaters, because it's stealing. It's only the newer flight attendants that seem listen, which is understandable because they'll fire those poor men and women for nothing. In fact there's stories of at least one flight attendant being fired for giving out water to the flight crew, granted I've only heard that from other brand new flight attendants so who knows if it's true or not.
But yeah, whenever a jumpseater checks in I'll always say hi and ask if they want a water for the flight.

Pilots getting disciplined by being written up, suspended and or fired for handing out water bottles too?
