ASA Getting 900s

Um, wouldn't taking a Pee before you take off prevent the walk of shame?
Makes sense to me.

Yeah unless you are doing some of our "Long" flights like ATL-GDL, ATL-BJX or ATL-PLS...a little long for most not to get up at least once.

If you need to use the lav in flight...go and use it! There's nothing shameful about that.

What if those 15 rows are the difference between "making it" and "not"? Where's SIUCAVFLIGHT? I think he can shed some light on this topic, can't he?

I remember and old, now retired ATR Captain that would go into the forward cargo and piss in water bottles. The worst thing about the whole thing was that the trash bag was hanging on my arm rest when he'd return.

I remember flying with an ex ATR capt. (RJ training dept now) who pissed in a bottle and left it in the fwd cargo bin. We both forgot it was there until a ramper picked it up and inspected it as we were coming out the cockpit.........
Good Times!!!

Training program has already been established, IIRC.

I was under the impression that we do not have a training program in place for the 900, just one we were gonna start for SKYW (dont ask me why). But also, if we were to get those airplanes, we would just implement that program at ASA, and the training is one day (for current 70 seat crews) to go along with a handout. No sim. But that is just what I thought to be true.

New developments at Skywest.

The training department unofficially says that Skywest has been approved for Caribbean flying out of ATL in the 900s and that the Ops Spec are being finalized and will be distributed by years end or Jan. And Skywest inflight has officially announced that the flight attendants will also be starting overwater training soon.

Oh goodie more of ASA's flying going away! This sucks!!!

 

[BCpilot81]

Certainly not to be a smart a$$, but didn't that flying go to them and Shuttle America last winter? I was under the impression that it was a seasonal thing with them. But like I said, that is just my impression. Yes, it still sux if that is true.

And the approval is based on the original ASA approval. They transfered this approval last year.

The SkyWest United 700's have no forward lav.

Either did mine last night, had to go to the bathroom, but the flight att warned me to use the aft one. When I walked past the fwd lav I noticed an awful smell and when we got on the ground we found out some hillbilly mom had basically used her daughters crapped diaper to paint the walls.
