Compass
Chances are we used to work at your company. Compass is a refugee camp for airline pilots. Most of the group are on their second and many (myself included) are on their third...or more. I don't think I worked your flight but your experience isn't uncommon. Those of us who don't commute did... -

Best RJ Headset
You can pick up a used Bose Aviation X on ebay for $400-$500. If you are a professional pilot you can justify that (or even $1100 for the A20). I've put about 4,000 hours on my headset which I paid about $1000 for about ten years ago. Over the years I've spent about $150 in batteries... -
Near Collision on Ground at Midway
I haven't been to MDW in at least a few months but I've had controllers there give me non-standard instructions when crossing runways. They have cleared us to cross two runways at once and told us to hold short of 22L without telling us to cross 22R. Neither would have created an issue but the... -
Watch out FOs on Before T/O PAs
I'm certain your FOM gives announcement guidance; when to make announcements, when not to, what not to say, etc. I'm also certain than the prepare for takeoff announcement is in quotations which means "say this exactly as written." -

compass question....
New hires are not currently getting typed due to a SNAFU with the FAA. It will continue once a new training program is approved and those who didn't get the type will get it at a later date pending an agreement with our union. I don't have a time frame on anything. -
Legal to start legal to finish?
Neither an air return nor a diversion constitutes a schedule change as long as the original schedule is flown. Below are some examples, assume the original flight was DTW-ATL. DTW-ATL...no schedule change (obviously) DTW-DTW-ATL...no schedule change DTW-CVG-ATL (for emergency, weather... -
Facebook and hiring at majors/nationals/lcc
What do you do when SWA HR "friends" you? I can think of a few reasons to have Facebook and about 1,000 reasons not to... -
Scheduled Reduced Rest
CDOs don't have a rest period to be reduced. At Compass reduced rest can be scheduled as long as it's not less than nine hours. In base we must have ten hours of rest. -

ATC errors up a record 51% in 2010
I don't think "where you at" is in the controller hand book. Nonstandard phraseology is not acceptable. This goes for pilots too... -
ASA PBS Vacation
What PBS system does ASA use? AOS? Is it the same as Skywest? -

Best Food Cooler
I use the strongbags cooler with a cvs water bag full of ice. The cooler is big and has many, large pockets. The cvs hot water/ice bottle is great because I don't have to depend on a freezer in base or refrigerator at the hotel. I just fill it up morning and night (and some times during the... -
Side stick vs. traditional yoke
How about a side stick with tactile feedback and thrust levers that move? -

Verifying the flightplan with the legs page
Of course I am not a perfect pilot, but I at least attempt to do things the way my company wants and pays me to do. When I have a question about how something is supposed to b3done or someone shows me something that I am doing wrong I look it up and correct it. If I have a question or... -
Verifying the flightplan with the legs page
It should not be a First Officer's job to learn each Captain's individual "procedures," it should be each pilot's responsibility to know the book and do things as written. That's not to say there isn't room for technique, but every it's the company that gets to decide how much room for... -
Verifying the flightplan with the legs page
FAA Inspector: Did you do the procedure? Joe: No, I was using common sense. FAA Inspector: Thanks, your suspension letter should be sent out in five to seven business days. -
