Don't say none because I know there are some in there !!!

That, I don't know. I have just seen the names. I have no idea where any of them came from.

 

[bamapilot]

bailout,

Thanks for giving us the inside info. I am in that class and looking forward to starting. Don't care too much as to what I'll be flying... just glad to be working again.

Of course it could all change at the last minute, but the Aug prelims show 9 RJ slots in DFW, 2 in ATL, 2 EMB in ATL, 7 in DFW, and 2 ATR ATL..... which exactly equals what this class is.

I heard they were all furloughed Delta guys!!!!

 

[bailout]

Well, that is not true. There are 4 guys from FSI for sure, and three others from Commutair, Eagle, and COEX. The rest I dont know yet,..... Guys, chime in if you're in this class,......! Bamapilot?? where you from?

 

[bamapilot]

Who Am I

Bailout,

I am the Coex guy. I was a ERJ 145 FO furloughed back in October. Lately I've been the local hanger rat/flight instructor begging for C152 time.

Hope the RJ people are staying in ATL.

Did you see a list of who got what? I saw that all the new hires had boxes in the crew lounge with their aircraft assignments but I don't know how accurate they are. I'd like to tell one of my friends that she got the RJ but I don't want her to be disappointed if they change it at the last minute.

In this environment, why would she be disappointed if she didn't get the RJ? I would hope she would be thrilled to have a job, even if she did get "stuck" in my beloved "Vibra-Liner."

Besides, the Brasilia crews are much more fun than those stuffy jet guys

Remember, lots of our current pilots are not being allowed to go and fly the RJ, and the spots are being assigned to new hires. People who whine about not getting the jet annoy me.

You're right about that, but neither of us hold a candle to the ATR crews!

Too true! Those ATR guys are WAY out there!

 

[shamrock]

Sabreliner-

Maybe "disappointed" isn't the right word. She is leaving a good job and taking a sizable pay cut to come to ASA so I don't doubt that she wants to be here. I only mention disappointment because she was offered the RJ a few months back but lost out on that chance because of a mix up with her paperwork. I'm sure she will be more than happy with whatever she gets, but she still would like the jet. I too was very happy to come to ASA and would have gladly taken any assignment they gave me, but I really wanted the RJ too.

I was fortunate enough to get my first choice and I'm just hoping she gets hers. Besides, you Brakillya guys have to study WAY too much in initial and I'd like to see her once in a while!

 

[Anaconda]

Let me get my violin...

Hope the RJ people are staying in ATL.

what's she going to do, not take the job?

Is that the Brazildo guys trying to convince others of how the CRJ isn't much better. Having flown both I feel qualified to say that the E-120 may be "fun to fly" but I prefer 70 degree flight decks to 100 degrees. For an airplane that came out of 100 degree temps, there sure put some crummy packs on that thing.
Furthermore, my flight case goes up front. All that other stuff is just smoke and mirrors.

 

[sabreliner]

Garbageman;

No one said that the RJ isn't a nicer ride. I'd sure enjoy flying it, though I also really enjoy the left seat of the Brasilia. My point is simply that new hires shouldn't really worry about the airplane they get, or be disappointed when they can't go fly the jet. Lets not forget that there are a bunch of guys here that haven't been allowed to go fly the jet, while new-hires are being assigned the airplane. Kinda annoying for them, don't you think?

Also, for those pilots out there who want to lose a little weight, the summer "Brasilia Weight Loss Program" really does work! I've dropped 5 pounds already!

 

[captjorge74]

Well said Saberliner

Hey guys, when I started working for ASA, I was assigned the Brasilia. I had a great time flying it and its sure a great weight loss program. Watch out Jenny Craig!!!

What's behind the FO seat in the CRJ? The coffee maker.

What's behind the FO seat in the EMB? The lav.

Guess which one smells better in the morning?

Ahhh, I love the smell of blue water in the morning..........

(3 summers in EMB120s, I'm allowed to make fun of em!)

 

[flyjessyfly]

I'm putting my vote in for the ATR. The training is the best, the people are the best and guess what's behind the cockpit - cargo EVEN BETTER!
