ASA ATR Displacements Begin!

[Texx]

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?

Why don't you walk over and pick up the phone and call the training dept?

 

[Abernathy]

Lost Comm after takeoff

I'm bringing my old NAVCOM to the sim.

I did. See four posts up.

Yes, but
Mesa sucks!!!!

[Av8trix616]

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

got this + TCAS RA, and low vis takeoff last month.

 

[~~~^~~~]

You must have got T L, he likes to throw the RA in at low altitude to see if you'll dive for the dirt then get the "terrain terrain" at 1,500 AGL then zoom back into a climb.

Fun times.

How soon until those ATRs are made into beer cans? Really, they are an embarrassment. They stink too, and are slow and get in the way.

Beer cans? Try beer coolers, coozies and children's toys. The tupperware death tube is mostly made of composites, ahem', plastic.

I expect FedEx's Mountain Air Cargo unit will grab these and someday when we fly 787's to the desert someone will come pick us up in 630AS.

Got the ABY B/C approach with a dec perf windshear on short final and a flaps fail on retraction. However, once we started the descent, the fuel totalizer "failed" at some point beyond the TOC checkpoint, so we diverted to DHN at flaps 45, but didn't catch the fact that the fuel was still about 5000 lbs indicated (we took off from ATL with 7500) until we were calculation the fuel burn wondering why we still had 5k of gas on board. Pretty tricky on that one.

 

[CFI2766]

I'm tentatively on for the 20th of October for training.

joy.

 

[bailout]

It's about time!! Geez,...

Ahhh....good old 630AS. I have some fond memories of that ship.....

My first flight with ASA was in that airplane. Good times.

 

[Flybywire44]

Scheduling just bought senior ATR FO trips to allow reserves to hit 100 hours... That way they get off NQP right b4 the plane leaves.

Nice. They can have my trips if they want them; I love getting paid to not work.

[180ToTheMarker]

Don't forget to land in Waycross for an engine failure

 

[777forever]

So are they actually going to start pulling out ATRs next month since they are now pulling people of the plane for training? If not I might actually hold a line next month

What, you're not on the 777? jk... yeah ATRs are out'a the picture. Brad Holt where is our new flying and A/C!? Hopefully he'll come through for us.

Yeah, because there is so much new flying out there in the current market.

RFP for 16 airplanes in DC is still out there

 

[HoserASA]

Ya'll will enjoy the jet. Much better ride, cooler (as long as you don't take one w/ an inop APU), and more destinations, including Canada, Mexico, and the islands. I enjoyed flying the ATRah, and even the Brasilia, but the jet is much better. The jet training department is good too. You'll enjoy flying it after training is done. That's my opinion anyways.

Hoser
Roll Tide!

yeah the ATR has been fun but ive jumpsat on the 200 and 700 and my mouth was watering. And this was before the ACARS magic we have now...

It'll be nice to see a trip that doesnt include the same 9 places everytime

Is that for real or is that just some rumor that has been circulating forever it seems......

Get ready to be a real pilot, son. :beer:

It'd be nice to see a real paycheck.

 

[asayankee]

Are you ATR folks ready to ACTUALLY fly your schedules though??? Not too many legs get cancelled on the jet! (sarcasm)

Don't get "El Toro" all riled up over here too. :bomb:

No Mexico at the moment. Delta wants first class down there.

The ATR is a money machine... I'm taking a huge pay cut going to the 70.

This is true...

The point I was trying to make is who cares what you fly it all pays the same.

I really enjoy flying the ATR. It's a tough, challenging airplane to fly. It has made me a better pilot.

I'm not looking forward to having to train on the jet. However, when it's all said and done, I'll do my job, and do it well, no matter what I'm flying.

The way the industry is at the moment, I'm simply thankful to have a job.
