Your Career Progression ... in flight deck images

That ain't no DC9 you daffodil. <grin>

And you got typed already? I had no idea you had been there long enough to upgrade!

PS - Where do you slide your debit card on that Beech? <j/k>

 

[SlumTodd_Millionaire]

That ain't no DC9 you daffodil. <grin>

I probably couldn't even start the APU in a real -9.

And you got typed already? I had no idea you had been there long enough to upgrade!

Nah, just SIC type. It'll be decades before I see the left seat at this rate.

MikeCweb,

Is that the 35 you fly? Those radios belong in the Smithsonian!

Not mine but same radios.
Only difference is we have digital altimeters and a better XPDR as part of the RVSM mod.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

I am glad our 35s are gone. That airplane's range was significantly longer than my bladder's!

My god those Lear cockpits are small...

"This is a really awesome thread- please keep it coming."

Here is my first 121 job. Convair 600/640 for SMB stage lines. Hire date 10/19/1987. The one with no engines I used to fly out of LAX. And the other one is her sister ship on the Evergreen ramp at LAX. I used to fly mail contracts from LAX-LAS. It was a great job at the time. Good thing I got furloughed when I did or I might not have ended up at UPS....

I'm jealous! Is that the Elliott upgrade? How do you like it?

 

[ZapBrannigan]

My god those Lear cockpits are small...

Size doesn't matter...right? <gulp>

When I went to Lear school after having flown much bigger airplanes for a decade I was warned, "In most airplanes you sit in the cockpit. You wear the Learjet like a thong".

It is without a doubt the most cramped, uncomfortable jet cockpit i've been in. But, like all things, you get used to it.

Here are the two types in our fleet:
Learjet 31a

Learjet 40/45

By March 09, everyone will be dual typed

And finally, this beauty:

Between photos of some sweet flight decks, and photos of unemployment lines, I can't tell if this thread is inspirational or depressing for a current student pilot.

Shouldn't be either, should just tell you what you're up against.

Sept. 05 - Dec 06 C210 (Erase any GPSes or fancy doodads from this and the next picture)

Dec 06- Sept 07 Be55/58

See above. Ours were like Airnet's, except uglier, I'm sure.

Sept 07 - Present MU-2

Just hit this:

Then enjoy this:

Does anyone else find it amusing that so many manufacturers feel it necessary to put the aircraft type on the yoke? I guess it's a safety device in case you're shooting an approach to minimums in a thundersnow storm, lose an engine, and suddenly forget what kind of airplane you're in.

I swear it gets smaller everyday.
