Unfortunately, no.
I strongly support the ASAP program at my airline. I believe that it can be a valuable tool to improve safety.
However, I'm also afraid it can also be perverted by an FO with an agenda.
Case in point: If the FO files an ASAP report, without the Captain's knowledge, alleging a flagrant violation of the FARs, what happens? Is the report now the sole source of information when the topic comes up with the Feds? Who is really protected?
I'm basing this off of an event that recently happened at my airline.
Captains, watch yourselves. As an airline pilot, I see this potential turn of events having a negative impact on safety.
I feel your pain brother... Maybe you can try this:
"Psycho bitch, park that fat ass for takeoff."
You don't use her name, yet you aren't exactly impersonal either...
I actually prefer the personal approach; " 'Sindee' is our flight attendant today. I've had a lot of flight attendants over the years and she's definately one of the best. Again, welcome aboard".
You know, it's still sterile cockpit unless the brake is set. So, you might be better off sticking to the FAA-approved script in your FOM.
Door is open, paperwork on it's way out. Thanks for your input. Be sure to say "Hi" back to me and my crew during the silent ride to the hotel.
replies aboveEnough time has passed, it's ready to start a new CA vs. FO thread.
3. Quit centering the heading bug when I am flying. I promise you, the plane will not veer violently off course if the heading bug is 3 degrees to the left.
Then quit being a sloppy, lazy idiot. If it's too hard for you to keep something as little as a heading bug set, you are a hazard. (CMR crash at LEX?)
4. I could care less about your church or your kids.
You sound like SUCH an a$$hole...
6. Are you wearing cowboy boots?
Are you wearing hairgel? Doc Martins? Is that a soul patch? What are those PINK wires coming out of your ears?
You, sir, fall in the category of one of the good captains. Easily one of the best I've flown with so far.
Also, the South never really lost the war or Northern Agression. Furthermore, Sherman was a SOB.
