You're kidding, right? These checklists and FMA calls didn't come from XJ

Lol. Common now, let him get there on his own. It's like dragging you're new dispatcher page by page through the MEL and limitations trying to explain to them why the flight can't go. You gotta start small and work your way up.

PS. when I say "new dispatcher" what I mean is the constant stream of well meaning newbies that we keep for 8 months at a time.

On taxi out to 22L departure from DTW, Palace 4, the one that goes north towards LAYNE/BNNET/DIRKS/LEATO towards Lake Michigan. Since we're taxiing to 22L, we're facing the direction of departure and there was some weather. So I turn the radar on, and range was lower, 20/10 mile. I open it up to 80/40 to take a look. I barely opened up that range when he snapped, 'It's good CRM to let the other pilot know when you change the radar range.' I mean I had just opened it up to the 80/40 range. I didn't even get a chance to explain what I was doing. Oh well. Inside I thought to myself that it's also good CRM not to be an ass, but hey, I'm just a lowly FO.

Here's a tip: Don't touch the radar! It's a Captain function!

....? And some guys wonder why we have CRM problems at this place. What about on a couple of the 900s with radar controls for each side? Does the captain set my side too?

After reading this thread and participating a little bit I think I know why some of my coworkers don't want anything to do with Flowups and the like.

Well the majority of your flow ups are compass. We don't have a flow anymore. To my knowledge the only flow that was on here was hired at SWA instead. Relax.

I would hope that you don't form opinions of the whole pilot group based on the ramblings of a few

Ummm, get some new information jericho. We have about 70 or so XJ flows that will be gone in the first year of Delta hiring. But as for that Delta guy who chimed in-just remember the 80/10/10 rule. 80% of the people you meet will be good people, another 10% will be jackholes and the other 10% will be idiots. That rule applies to even Delta people BTW. There is one exception to the rule-when dealing with the military and their leadership-just make that rule 60/20/20. I know this as I have 14 years in the army so I can say I experienced that first hand. If Delta hired off the street or took all flows, the percentage of idiots/tools they would get would be about the same I should think.

Let me guess, you always do the outs and have your FOs do flights back to DTW? You say you are laid back and yet micromanage every possible aspect of the flight?

I think SEVEN is an FO.

of the remaining 70 XJ flow ticket holders 98% are top notch pilots / people, who will easily hold their own during Delta Indoc / Training / Line ops ect, ect.
