ASA ATR Displacements Begin!

[centralpilot]

Has the 8 Sep date been officially announced?

Also, what exactly does the effective date of March 09 mean? Is that when I start training? Is that when I'm supposed to online?

When can I expect to begin training?

Sep 8 looks official. I've got a memo listing the 12 class members and instructions on when and where to report to class. For some reason the class isn't showing in ourasa documents yet.

You computer geeks on the ATR need to see that we DC9 guys can use old equipment, and still be within a mile of the intended track. You guys can do slowflight over one area and hold with relative wind probably. We have to fly it, it's called a turbojet.

"You computer geeks?" Why is no one else picking up on this? You just made my night bro thanks.

I've trained on the 80, don't flatter yourself... The 9 is great, but does not make you a god.

Where are they doing initial ground training? FSI or the new GO?

Not sure, but probably FSI. Have you been to the new GO? Place is a dump and still needs lot and I mean lots of work. Think it will be nice when and IF they ever finish it.

I predict Delta will be putting out a bid for lowest bidder turboprop flying. The equipment will not be ATRs. Too much trouble dealing with the French goobers.

My memo says 6th floor GO, but I'm not sure if that is correct. Wasn't that the training floor in the old GO? Do we still have a presence at all there?

 

[PFD1]

I am pretty sure we are all moved out of the old GO. It doesn't look like the new one has 6 floors...but maybe it does.

Is the new building even called the GO? I thought it was A-Team, oops I mean A-Tech!

 

[centralpilot]

Yeah, I'm assuming it was a stock memo that someone failed to update. I guess I'll check on that.

 

[Stifler's Mom]

It seems nobody wants to bother getting a camera to take a real picture of an ATR.

Actually, I heard they have plenty of pictures of the ATR fleet. Unfortunately, there's always a mechanic in the snap shot.

 

[samdog]

Off topic, anyone had a loft recently? I have one coming up and was wondering what the "theme" is these days.

 

[PooPooPants]

Have you enroute charts out, good chance of v and J route changes and stuff like that.

Is it still sick pax into Albany for the LOC/BC DME arc, No radar with flaps fail?

I assumed correctly. Training is now in a classroom in A-Tech.
