NetJets' Captains need to get over themselves!

[7777]

The egos at this place are amazing!!! Are you serious?

ROFLMAO, I have heard they don't need to use air freshner in the bathrooms at NetJets. :laugh:

As a military guy, I have found this thread to be highly entertaining. Thanks for the laughs.

I have learned the hard way to experience an FO's stick skills on an empty leg before letting him fly pax from the right seat... even then, his right seat skills are unknown. This makes a pax leg from the right seat a crapshoot, and I have had 3 BAD experiences with this, in 2 cases the FOs were longtime captains who had not flown right seat in more than a decade, and the third was an accomplished FO who got distracted by something in the flare. Having said all that, I give legs to FOs freely, but right seat legs with pax are nervewracking!! This has nothing to do with their piloting skills in general, but rather with their piloting skills from the RIGHT seat. I suspect NONE of us are as proficient in the right seat as we are in the left.

Really? Are you serious? The damn thing flys the same from both sides. What you are proficient in is the flows. That is where folks lack when seat swapping.

Ummm... some pilots fly better with their left hand than with their right, and visa versa. It's like batting, or playing hockey or football. Most people are better at one side. And if a pilot only experiences one side on occasion, it's only natural that he will not be as proficient on that side.

porter is a girl. Our sexist views have clouded our judgement. If you read the style of writing it is clear Porter is a girl so that would make growing a pair very difficult

I disagree. It's just a BS excuse

Whatever you have to tell yourself.

You're right, Porter IS in fact a female. She sort of screwed up when she came on here and told everyone that she had been here only around 7 months. I say "let the cat out of the bag" because she then posted a thread on the NJASAP message boards saying that "some pilot" was complaining on flightinfo about captains flying all of the pax legs. It took me about 3 seconds to figure out that she was in fact the author of the original flightinfo thread as well. This thread started in October. Go back about 7 months and we're looking for someone that was hired around February/March of 2008. Wanna guess what the hire date was of the female that started the thread on our board????

I called her out on it and since that time, nobody's heard from her. Hmmmm.

Sorry J.J.

 

[G200_PILOT]

I have to admit, however, that it was pretty to slick to start a thread here and then draw everyones' attention to it on the NJASAP board. Her plan was to divert the chicken******************** bitching towards someone else (Porter) so that we wouldn't all look at her as a crybaby.


Oops...

hahaaaa

A 40 plus crybaby!

Get over it Porter.

You're hair will get gray slower and you will maintain your weight better.

Relax, life ain't fair, you're old enough to know better.

Please,I beg you, let this thread DIE!!!!!!!!!!

I don't get it. Do NJ pilots swap seats when it's your turn to be the PF? Or is this only when both pilots are type rated and 'CA qualified'? Everyone is type rated at NJ, correct?

I remember switching seats in the 1900 and CRJ. It was wierd, for the first two days. That's a cop out IMO. My right hand flies just as well as my left.

All NetJets pilots are fully typed and qualified to fly from both seats. To not let your SIC fly from the left seat is up to the PIC.

Personally, on all ferry legs the left seat is welcome to the SIC. I swap flying legs no matter who is in the back, and usually do a "rock, paper, scissors" for the first leg. It is the only fair way to do it.
