...now I feel even more nervous to fly on the regionals. You guys are just fountains of knowledge and don't need anyone to tell you anything. This is like listening to high school kids.

Because that is rational! Only about 10,000 regional flights depart every day, and there has been 1 or 2 accidents on a revenue flight in the past 5 or so years! What a horrible record the regionals have ACATerry! I'd be terrified!

1 or 2? Look again. And look at the circumstances...all avoidable if the self-righteous attitudes of knowitalls weren't there, they'd never happen. Gotta be cool. Gotta be liked. Gotta point out what everyone ELSE does wrong instead of realizing that any of you, me included, CAN be the next one to wreck a plane.
I'll take caution, humility and listen and learn from others. It's kept me alive this long. You guys keep bloating your egos and pointing out how awesome and cool you are. How you know more than your captains. The FAA. The NTSB. Maybe even the guy who fills the holes you put your planes in.

The point of this post was far from being a know it all. I'm simply saying change up the wording of your "brief" so that I know you are actually thinking about what you are saying. If it is the same "cookie cutter" brief every time, followed by "any questions" I see you are not thinking about what is coming out of your mouth.

I was simply venting here, hoping to get people to think a bit.

Maybe I did???

The one I like is the guy that starts a basic call for something with. "When you are happy can you do XYZ".

Nobody has been happy at my airline for 20 years, so you are going to be waiting awhile for XYZ, and your are going to get another leg or 2 of IOE untill the happy thing goes away..

At my legacy carrier, Questions? is on our briefing card. Standard Ops

 

[SERPICO]

If I hear one more brief, be it any kind, that ends with "Any questions???"

I'm going to go CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you not think of any other way to end it???

Is anyone else tired of hearing this?

Kinda like "Sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight"

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sit back and relax, I doubt anybody is relying on you anyway.

Medeco,

I thought about it, and I decided that I like asking if the person sitting next to me has any questions, or comments.

The thing that I find odd is when the other person finishes a brief of any sort and then just stops. I really don't know if they are finished, or are pausing to collect their thoughts.

I agree with some of the other posters on this thread, you really need to get a thicker skin and not let the little stuff drive you crazy

Ohh really????

Am I understanding your comment to mean you think I'm sitting in the right seat?

Thanks for adding some deep thoughts...

Go back and read my additional post.

I'm simply asking that guys mix it up on verbage that isnt part of a required call out.

There are plenty of ways to end a brief, while still being standard, that doesnt end in "any questions"

I already posted some suggetions, and so did others.

If it bothers you so much, then ask a few questions after he asks if you have any questions. For instance:

"Any questions?"
"Yeah I have a few"

1. "What's the second highest obstacle in the vicinity of the airport?"
2. "Is radar required to shoot this approach? I noticed you didn't mention whether or not it was"
3. "Will you be carrying an extra few knots above Vref+5 throughout the flare, and should I call out your airspeed deviations?"

I like that! On one hand if they want to brief everything since the Wright flyer than those items seem pretty important.

On the other hand, maybe the fact that you don't really need to know what kind of approach lights are available on a clear and a million daytime visual approach will sink in.

good post
