Colgan News Network for Nov 30

They all sent a letter to "dirty pack of cigaretts" basically telling him to deal with it or they'll be letting the FAA know what's been going on.

Keep da thread alive!

Flew one of the new Cpt America's (361PX). Flies pretty well, light on the controls unlike some of the other dumptrucks.

He actually told me that sice he was someone's flight instructor, that gave him the infallibilty over the book. If there was a proceure he didn't like, he's have it changed. In the interim, he'd disregard the procedure, callout etc..

Holy sh@#... Almost forgot one of the funnier things.

He kept track of every little thing FOs did that he thought was wrong. Say you checked in with center and said "with you" or happen to throw an "and" in there.... You would get a nice letter in the mail with the appropriate section of the AIM highlighted and the letter telling you that you're not following proper protocol or some other such garbage..

After flying with him awhile, I used to see how much time I could get him to waste looking up stuff and photocopying it. What a dipsh!t.

When I finally got out of SYR and got based in SHD, ole "Bubba" was the first guy I flew with. People had been hyping up how rough he was to fly with (I think he does harrass FOs a lot if they're very young), but I had a great time. I was cracking up all day with his little one liners.

Me: "...and there's a PAPI on the left. Any questions?"
Bubba: "Yeah. Why you so dumb?!"

Me - after getting ATIS: "I'm back on 1."
Bubba: "No changes. You still dumb... 'n ugly!"

SHD kind of reminded me of the Dukes of Hazzard. Although geographically close to Northern Virginia (where I lived), it was three legs to HEF, which was far enough to keep a low profile most of the time.
