Well said! I couldn't agree more! I am also very happy at CAL! I look forward to some major improvements in this next contract but long term this is the place to be in my opinion.

And Poco boy or girl, you are a idiot!

I obviously left the commander's last names off for security reasons. I have nothing to hide here, I'm very proud of my past and present military service and have done more for this country than you ever will. What else jerk...anymore challenges to my military history you'd like to make?:puke:

Scrapdog is just mad because he can't get on at FedEx with all his buds. Must be a guy thing. Bigger wee-wee and all! LOL

I doubt that CAL pilots will raise the bar. I passed after being offered the job earlier this year. Very glad I did, after talking to CAL jumpseaters. They are miserable, to say it kindly.

Scabs will get in the way of any progress there though if you ask me. And yes, I did stay in a Holiday Inn Exress last night, so ask away!!! LOL

Hi Poco,

How are you? How is the job at UA going? You haven't answered any of my questions the last two months? I know you said back before summer that you had the inside track to a job at UA; you must have got in by now?

What equipment did you get, where are you based? Kind of strange though, your screen still says COEX.

Hey let all of us know whats it's like to move out of the RJ into the UA fleet?

Don't be a stranger keep us updated.
 
Day 2 of newhire class earlier this year. Right now it looks like 3 months. The time to get to GUM changes very quickly. The shortest I've seen was a staffing date 2 weeks after the need arose. The longest this year has been about 3 months.

Wow, thanks for asking about me, and as a matter uv fact, I have been told to expect a call from United any time now, as I've had a few friends pull some strings for me. I think I will be hearing something soon.

So, when I get over there and we buy CAL, I promise to be nice to you when you get stapled to the bottom of the list.

I am always nice to my lowly gear jerkers ;)

I promise! LOL

Are you a Colonel?

I'm a captain, I just met my major's board in the recent past. If you did your math (which I'm sure you didn't), you'd see my grad date from USAFA in '99 would give me approx. 8 years of service to this date. Obviously I wouldn't be a Colonel, or even a Lt Colonel for that matter.
 
Are the fighter jets certified for IFR? I heard they were VFR only. Was it hard to make that transition when you came to the airlines?

Are you so pathetic that you have to admit in public (on a message board no doubt) that you need your buddies to pull strings for you to get on with United?? Wait a second, I just answered my own question - of course you are. Which I'm sure are fictional buddies no doubt.

Pocono Pilot - sets the bar low and continuously fails to meet the standard.

Take care Pat.

All "fighter jets" are fully IFR capable. In military pilot training we spend months on IFR procedures and execution in both the T-37 and T-38. Then in our follow on "fighter jets" i.e. F-15, F-16, F-22, etc...we do multiple approaches in our TR phase - i.e. our transition phase. We then take an instrument checkride and continue to do so every 12-16 months.

I can garauntee you the instrument training in "fighter jets" is 10 fold more complex and advanced than your sorry a$$ will ever encounter.
 
That is so hot! I would do you in a second!

Even if it does take you "months" to learn IFR procedures. LOL It really isn't that hard, and we really don't spend more than a week on it.

I would still do you though. Oh, why do I have to be married?!? LOL


ps. The hottest scene ever in movie history was the vollyball scene in Top Gun with the fighter jocks!!!
