a little damage control

[Amish RakeFight]

Seriously, I want out of this country sometimes. But Ive spent extendedtime in various locales, but always still crave my hometown of NYC. Creature of habit I guess. And sitting in a hotel room or a terminal can drive you insane.

Okay, time to crack open another Stella.

Later skater.

Hours are no indicator of performance in training. It all depends on the individual. I shared the sim during my upgrade with a pilot who only had 250 hours tt and multi time measured in the teens. He did a fantastic job. Granted it was just a Dash 8... For those of you who really believe that a turboprop is so much easier than an RJ.

Then again I have flown with other new FO's with similiar time who, well, need a little more help. The thing is that those with a good attitude nearly always catch up eventually and do a fine job.

I do think, however, that those with substantial CFI experience or freight time are way ahead of the game.

I was dining out with a crew the other night, and I swear they had no idea how to use a fork and knife. I felt like I was dining with homeless people at a soup kitchen.

So, If you can utilise tableware with aplomb and good manner, I say you can be an airline pilot.

You're a dumass, even if you don't know the line from the movie, I think you should have caught it was a joke

Dead Schembechler's eh? Pretty bad taste, I'd say. They might be a good band, but it still doesn't compare to...

Not understanding the origin of that line is an automatic two-week suspension of your man card.

Being "owned" by a chick doubles that time.

Sorry, but those are the rules. Turn it in.

No offense to anyone but to get 650 hr pilots through training these frickin' tightwad regionals are going to have to start prying the wallet open....completely revising syllabi and adding SEVERAL more sims/CPT sessions. That's just the way it's gonna have to be. This kind of experience level (CFIs with minimal experience) is becoming the norm rather than the exception.

The world needs ditchdiggers too.

 

[doh]

I wasn't recommended for the checkride after struggling a little through the 200 sim and then having brain lock during the mock PC. Its hard to swallow, I know I can learn, I'm a good pilot, had the flows down...just can't seem to master the sim.

I imagine its 99.9999% the end of my run here when I talk to the training dept on Monday. I'm ready to smack myself in the head with a hammer..soo close yet so far away.

Is this the end for me? Did anyone not make it through training and get hired by someone else? Any advice on staying in the game and giving it another shot?

Dude, check your PM's.

The only people who believe a turboprop is easier than a jet are those who have never flown a turboprop - which I guess is most regional airline pilots these days.

Them prop jobs got 4 more levers on em, right??? Props and mixtures, right?

Thats, like, triple the lever workload in a jet. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much work.

Cmon man, do you know how hard you have to pedal to make one of those turboprops go fast?

It's a ton of work!

Only a dash-8

good one.
