They had plenty of BOEING 727's not that long ago. There may be a BOEING (only cause they bought Douglass but hey...) DC-10 or 2 still running to Hawaii too.

No more DC-10 in the NW fleet at all. Last one is parked at the hanger on its way to OMNI AIR.
 
Ok, I am sitting during a break in class this afternoon at school talking to some buddies who were curious about how my recent interview went. Then this other guy comes up and starts saying that he just got hired to fly a 737 for compass airlines with 500tt and 25Multi. I defiantly waived the B.S. flag on this one, and he was extremely persistent about how he got this job even after I told him they don't even fly 737's. Anyone ever run into tool bags like this??

I'm pretty sure 400ahole's trailer is in MKE..... Don't know what he would be doing in Indiana! Of course that's why they call them things mobile!:laugh:

737
 
Too bad MSP is going to be the only Domicile for Compass...

And oh yeah, their minimums are 1500/1000 (although I know published minimums don't mean anything).

Yea thank you, that is what I tied to explain to the tool sac
 
This may or may not be true, but, and you wouldn't believe it, people with lot less time than 500 have been successfully hired and have flown planes as big as 757s. Not in the US recently (...do look back in the 60's and you'd find that statement is true even for the US), but in Europe.

There was an article in the 90's about a 23-yearl old female from England who was an F/O on British Airways' 757 with I think around 350 hours. There was also a 23 year old male (coincident about the age) who was hired to fly 737's for UAL with less than 500 total hours. If you look up Flight Training or Flying magazine, I think from late 90's, there was a detailed article on him.

It all depends on quality of training and not many thousands of hours. I believe.

So, this person might as well have been pulling your leg because NWA does not fly, neither have they ordered, anything Boeing.

:uzi: :eek: :smash:
 
No, because he said it was out of dulles. He has worked for pncl as a bag basher for 3 yrs and he thinks that any plane with a red tail he can fly.
Dude I think you missed the joke, that link is for some virtual airline called compass - it's for flight simulator geeks by the looks of it.

The vast majority of these individual are nothing more than autopilot babysitters and if they aren't the Capt flys the legs. Ever heard of cruise crew...CX has a bunch of them

Oh wait, I almost forgot. United has a bunch of PF/Os too. Warm bodies, seat fillers
