Thanks guys. Good stuff. I will try some of what was suggested (except the towel/balls idea...interesting but not how I roll :laugh:).
I'm talking about the east to west late night, and then all day layover, leave late back to east coast into the early hours.
How do you guys force yourself to sleep during the day after a late flight followed by a red eye the next night?
I lay around all day trying to force myself to sleep after having slept from the night before. It's stressful and makes for an exhausting return leg.
Sadly, this happens a lot. Same exact thing happened when Alpha took over Massey Energy. Too many lawyers and managers think they know everything about running the flight department and everyone has to make sure their buddy's guys are taken care of in spite of the guys who have been there forever...
I am enjoying reading everyone's thoughts as well.
I do have to question the folks who talk about "high speed aborts." An abort prior to or at V1 is not a high speed abort. After V1 is considered a high speed abort. If you have done proper performance calculations for your given conditions and...
...but generally, you haven't had enough time to determine which light is blinking at you and why or what has failed or why you have lost control, etc.
(Edited to clarify that we are talking about the few seconds between 80kts and V1)
**Also, it depends on how close 80 kts is to V1 speed...
One of the most once intresting things I have seen/learned over the years in several aircraft types and in the training department is that just about all pilots are not able to distinguish between failure TYPES in the small amount of time there is between 80kts and v1. So to sit there and say...
Since you have already received the training, why don't you send THEM a contract? Write it up to your liking touching on all the things you did the handshake on. I think you are in a GREAT position.
No. Because if you had the ability to pay in cash you wouldn't be paying the same price as you would by financing it at 0%....therefore you are paying less upfront and now you have more money to put somewhere useful. You said it yourself earlier...they will get theirs one way or the other.
