I must lead a charmed existence. I haven't had a serious mechanical in flight (merely annoying ones, and serious ones on the ground). There's always tomorrow though...I've had more Brasilia's try to kill me than any other airplane I've flown, but I don't harbor too much resentment against them.
Thanks for letting me know to pass up any upgrade to the bro. lolI've had more Brasilia's try to kill me than any other airplane I've flown, but I don't harbor too much resentment against them.
My fam flight was SLC SUN SLC. I can see how it can get out of hand.Yeah that airplane mixed with sun valley scared the hell out of me.

You too, Inyokern!
Phone calls have been made and e-mails sent. They're almost all CDOs this month. The other option is a 30 hour overnight apparently.And now Inyokern is a stand-up or near minimum rest overnight, to add to the fun.
EMB 180?You'll have many more WTF?!? to come on the 175.

The sound of the master caution chime is usually followed by a burst of annoyance.I had a lot of wtf moments in the bro.
I also had a lot of "wtf dude?" moments in the bro as well.
The FMS gives me a few "What's it doing now?" moments on the Bro. It's usually followed by a few button presses and a reversion out of NAV. "You mean...I actually have to work?"I'm on the most wtf moment inducing airplane of them all. The airbus.

I'd categorize the 'dude' moments as "Really, dude?" not "WTF, dude?"

I learned more in the short time I flew the bro than I did my entire time as an fo.
It couldn't ever figure out the right way to enter a hold.
Someone should make a shrit that says "bros before hoes" or something along those lines with a picture of a bro on it.
Yup, you have to steer it around on the heading bug a lot. Made for interesting IOE, especially coming from a jet.It couldn't ever figure out the right way to enter a hold.

Heh, yep, when we held outside Crescent City, both of us were all "let's see if this piece of %#!@!%^&*^ will actually do it--NOPE"I was in the same boat (went from a FMS jet to Brasilia), but at least the CAs and IOE guys were equally unsure about its ability to enter a hold!
