A Message from the AWA MEC

[JT8D]

Experience is a relative term. There are some really crappy 20,000 hour pilots out there. Flying a widebody or a DC-9 doesn't necessary take more skill. Going to Europe is not a major task. I assume you are retired East?

Well if they're still walkin and talkin with 20,000hrs they can't be all that bad...

And as far as the INT thing goes we have a potential situation here where a brand new Captain (AWA) will be relying on his FO (AAA)... (who use to be a Captain) for experienced advice on his first EUROPA TRIP...absolutely absurd circumstance if you ask me...

I don't think there will be any brand new west upgrades into the 330. Not too many first time upgrades straight to the 330.

It is no different when the 737 Captain goes to the 330 and has to rely on the F/O's.

I meant new INT Captains...a NEW (not a Captain before at the company) Captain in the 330 would be Guinness Book stuff wouldn't it?

Does it just suck to be you?

Does it just suck to be you?

No...I'm done, for awhile now...I bet it must suck to be you though?

Edit: I see CL-65?

 

[imacdog]

Yes there is a CL-65 on there. So what? Your constant bashing of other pilots speaks volumes about you. You must be one of the most miserable people on this board. Give it a rest already and if retired, at least try to enjoy it a little.

Sure would.

The last surviving AWA 747. Awesome baby! That paint job would look nice on an A340. JMHO

Shoulda kept the original AWA paint. It's still a better design than the various 'Steve Wolf Originals' or any of the several 'who is the CEO today?' schemes at Delta polluting our airways. TC
