Piedmont Grounding Airplanes?

[Sig]

Thats the part I find deeply disturbing.

I'm with ya, buddy. Seriously disturbing. Nobody was born with a 30K-hour captain's innate sense of driving an airliner- but that? That's inexcusable. He's tremendously arrogant about it, and I have actually rescheduled my wife's nonrev plans around him.

Who the ******************** is this guy? somebody PM me!!!

 

[LearLove]

That guy who started crying when he had to go missed (at IPT I believe)....

:crying:

Hey crying on the missed at IPT is better than turning left on the missed at IPT.

IPT, the first place I ever landed as a 135 CA, IPT the first place I ever landed as a 121 CA, HMMMMMM.......

Nothing wrong with that? If you say so.

Your sim partner never crashed on a circling approach.
Side note: "Jesus Christ! Pitch Jam!"

YOU DA MAN! It was SCE.

That's freaking hilarious... well played!

That's why they pay me the big bucks.

Oh wait, no, they don't pay me the big bucks.

/got out after 3 months, wishes the best to the PDTers

$100.00 bucks for someone to walk in my resume and get me an interview... Seriously...And if i get the job $250...

 

[greyskyracer]

Fax a resume in and follow it with a phone call.

"Good job, but I don't think 'Jesus Christ! Pitch Jam' is the proper phraseology".

My drinking partner had a sim problem.

Dash 8's are great for kids building flight time....

 

[fowingman]

dash 8's are great for building flight time, thats how i did it at piedmont, i'm so sick of cranky a-hole's complaining about the f.o's. being young, but you know what, if those 50 year old jerk captains were in the place of the 20 year olds today they would join the airline if they could at 23 as well. but yea pdt was nice to build time. hahah

 

[olympus593]

We got a lot of really cool 50 year old ca here at pdt!

Really? Where are they based? I am not saying that you are wrong, but you are!!!!! Them old fuggers need to retire.

I was there for over two years and only had problems with maybe 3 captains the whole time. I found if you did your job competently, didn't act like you knew it all after being there for three months, and are not a total toolbag, most of them are o.k. guys. I'd be pissed too if everyone I worked with was new and just building time to get out.

Ok, ok,
back to the question asked a few days ago. Why is Piedmont grounding planes?

According to the last "ask PDT", they ain't. False rumor and we all bit the bait hard core.

One more FO finished up in SYR today, and another got his ATC date for July so he'll bite the dust soon. Congrats to those two.

If there are any new hires on this board coming to SYR, when will ya'll be on the line?

Confirmed on my line check yesterday... but maintenance (read: management's [you know who THAT is] silly demands upon and ham-handed handling of maintenance) is a subject that still has the rapt attention of the Feds. They're doing what they can, and are doing it better than my give-a-dam would ever allow. I was totally impressed with a MX issue a couple of days ago- it was almost as if someone was... gasp... thinking.

For those in the know:

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being "aviator personified" and 1 being "a syphed-up New Orleans hooer in the Economy Parking Lot," I give RM a 17 trillion. 5 line checks here, 4 with him, a bunch of training events as well- and I'm always awed by his kick-arse-itude. Truly one to emulate.

Interesting...I remember PDT as the FAA Maintenence Gold Something-or-other Award winner in years past. I hear now you guys can't ferry without written permission from the FSDO. Is that true? If so, what has happened?

T8

 

[Sig]

Interesting...what has happened?

Short answer: Engineering order for ferry flights.

Longer answer: The whip ain't so pencilly anymore.

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Like all rumors, there was probably a grain of truth to this one. SIG is correct about the feds attention to our mx... They are on PDT like white on rice.

RM is an outstanding guy. Instructors come no finer.

Pretty soon you'll be the only FO left in SYR.
