At least if you take your que from your chief pilot who lives in Agusta and has the name of a famous singer. Congrats all to the new rules! Way to lead by example RC!
 
Not to bust your bubble, but he doesn't share his name with a famous singer. Maybe if Randy Travis and Johnny Cash had a baby.

He is a chode, though. I hear he used to offer mustache rides to get female FO's through training.
 
Damn. Well that is how much country I listen too. Though I am a big J Cash fan. Oh well.

Why would he be servicing the female FO's to get them through training? Wouldn't they be servicing him?
 
I herd his Mustyache aint reel.... itz a Herpize.... like a toupe'

yeahhhhhhhhhh bouyyyyyyyyyyyyy...........
 
• There will be no exception to the uniform policy unless the Company
directs the exception (i.e., an emergency trip coverage situation).


I'm assuming that it at his discretion huh?
 
Probably no other pilots to cover a trip so he jumped in.

I never understood this. Chief Pilots and Mgmt have offices. In those offices should be a uniform. If a trip needs coverage that bad, they may then place said uniform on themselves and go fly. The CP at our company used to do that all the time too, and then yell at people for not wearing their hats! That didn't go over well coming from a guy flying in a polo shirt.
 
I hear ya...scheduling has been known to pull our pilots out of training to cover trips-wonder what you do then? I don't bring my uniform to RGT with me.

Nope it was an AGS overnight that he took. I could almost give him credit for the leg from ATL to AGS. Maybe he didn't have one in ATL. But same thing from his house back to ATL. He was then extended to do more flying.
 
yeh too bad commuters don't have the same option to bounce a Capt outa his throne so the man can get home. hearing he has a FA gf too, sneaks out on layovers, get it, lay-over
 
If instructors fly with no notice they can go without a uniform. Or if a check airman removes a pilot from the line he may have to fly in civies to cover the flight. It's nothing new.

I know it is nothing new for the above to happen. But what RC did is completely different. The trip was already covered and he took it so he could spend a night at home. And on top of that flew both legs with no uniform. Is that what your "leadership" should be doing?
 
RC, the same guy who sends FOs home for not wearing hats, regularly flies without uniform. He does this sometimes to and from Augusta as he commutes. These aren't isolated incidents. It's pretty well-known on the line. It's too bad that no one tells him that the way he wears his moustache is against company policy.

I have heard a few things from about RC from my FOs but he has always been helpful to me. Memorial day weekend he was covering trips for a couple of guys who had family plans. Who cares if a chief pilot wears a uniform in the cockpit, they can get snagged in an instant to deal with a variety of issues. Atleast if they are flying they can see some of the things we see on line every day. All of our chiefs are training guys get them out there as possible.

Do you not see the pattern? He treats FO's like KS treats his women.
