Dicko,

Hey Chuck Yeager, sounds like you got the right stuff...tiller gives instant directional control (augment rudder) in the landing phase if something goes directionally wrong, the HUD gives great info in one spot, also the S/B lever is easier to reach fm the LHS...these are ergonomic "advantages" designed in by Boeing for critical phases of flight, i.e. landing...Hey I spent 10.5 years in the RHS at SWA, how many years did you fly as a RSW FO DICK? I stole nothing you ******************************B...you will be very popular with that whiney ass attitude...
 
Wacky Jack . . . .You might have spent 10 years in the right seat, but Dicko and I have spent ten years in the left seat of that airplane you're flying now. If it wasn't for this merger, you'd still be in the right seat.

Show a little respect, or give it back. I'm betting your FO's wish you would.

SWA v AT!! Yay

So anyway-
How does that tiller and HUD help with an Orange County takeoff?
By your logic, no FO should be allowed to do anything somewhat challenging bc SWA didn't pay to get a HUD on our side- ....

Lets just say, one doesnt need to be chuck yeager to disagree w/ your logic there
 
Wave,

Tiller helps with every take off and you know as well as I do we fly SNA Departures on the HUD...The argument is that the pilots are no better in either seat, just the CP has more tools at his finger tips...could argue that the FOs are BETTER at takeoffs and approaches because "all" they have are flt contols and F/Ds...the company is covering its collective ass with these "CP only" apps and landings....it was always shocking to me that as an FO I could NOT shoot an approach to CAT 1 mins??

Ty,

Pls put me back on your ignore list...respect is earned not given, we all were CPs at our pre-SWA airline or mil unit...get used to the fact that you are a new SWA pilot, and you have a lot to learn about your new company...being a newbie SW FO will be a humbling experience for you, but you will have to do it, because we all did...

My man. You're kinda freaking me out. The only thing you got right was the fact that directional control will indeed be "instant"

I know that this is flightinfo and is mainly a source of amusement ...... But, just in case you weren't joking. Boeing says the tiller shouldn't be used above 30kts and "caution when using the tiller above 20 kt to avoid over-controlling the nose wheels resulting in possible loss of directional control".

You guys are funny! 121 flying has been the easiest flying I have done. The left seat only pays more and that is it.

Meh ..... I do get what your saying. But, there is the added advantage that there are less freaks in the right seat.
