Frac Culture question

Good one Gut!

As an FO at the beginning of the tour I always told the CPT,

Hey I need this job, if there is anything I do you don't like, please give me the chance to correct it before you go to the company. (This part is true)

I seldom had a CPT give me any attitude, and when they did I just said;

Go %& yourself you %&*%&^$* loser, get a life you ^$^$^$& ahole!

Just wait til I'm CPT you $^$$&& jerk! (this part is not)

Just kidding!!!!!!

Either crew member should be able to talk to the other about a "problem" whether perceived or real and try to iron it out before involving anyone outside the flight deck.

To take it to someone else first shows a lack of professionalism and maturity and it will close the door on CRM.

For example 2.5 hour ferry leg, not my leg, I pull out an article I wanted to read and guy tells me I need to be looking at my instruments? WTF?

What an a$$. The last 2.5 hour empty leg I did the Captain all but told me to go back and watch a movie, so I did. Ate my tasty crew lunch while watching a flick, life is good. It was my leg, went up front about 20min out and finished the job. I've only had one or two people offer me the left seat, but all have alternated legs pretty evenly. At my company the Captain must occupy the left seat on 135 legs, so it can be a hassle to have to swap back and forth all the time. I fly better from the right seat now anyway.

 

[nomore]

Just me

I might go all week without sitting in the left seat. And I'm the Captain. I ain't building time for the majors. But I don't work at NJ's either. Though there are days that I wish I did. Like most of 'em!

Captain Monk!!!!

Easy Bro!!! Mad Monk aint a Captain yet........

....soon though!

Jack, Just tell me you ain't in the Hawker Honeywell fleet... I would have to call you a liar then!
I can't believe we have those types of people... call me Naiive, I guess.

Also, I would rather be the PF on a short, busy flight (TEB-HPN).

Avantair has flights like that. :laugh:

I've found it's the greenhorns who have stick-lust. Sometimes I might offer them more legs so I don't have to switch headsets and stuff. They then get that kid at christmas look, and say " are you for real?" Knock yourself out kid.

 

[CA1900]

Yeah... this is how a lot of my tours start out:

I love a woman with stick-lust!

Geez. I could care less. I'd be fine to talk on the radio and sling gear. I've had all my fun. It's just an airplane and we both see the same things.
What does chap my azz is those guys (luckily so few) who have "their way" of doing things. Anal about where the coke and napkins go but cockpit standardization? No way man!

I am a FLOPS pilot and the every other day doesn't work very well since the airplanes to which I am assigned are always in maintenance. (well, my preflight skills have vastly improved over the past year ) Anyway, I like to swap every 4 legs. That could still be a problem if I am only flying 6 legs the whole tour! Productivity seminar, here I come!

Ah....a 400XP pilot!

Especially when you point out every other leg what part of the SOP's or FOM that they either forgot or disregarded. :laugh:

Yeah, I have flown with some "super captains" that think they know everything about everything. The sad thing is, they don't. I have flown with guys that don't know the plane, but yet try to "teach" me something, even know I know their wrong. My favorite is when the FOM comes out during a disagreement and then the guy reads the section wrong or "interprets" the rules in their vision.

I haven't flown with to many flight hogs, but have noticed there are those out there that like to be "captain" and make sure they fly every passenger leg, even if it means giving me back to back ferry flights. What ever floats their boats right?

 

[barnyard]

It's just the 5% Tool rule...

I haven't flown with any 'stick hogs' in the 800 Honeywell, but the biggest ****************************** I've flown with flew C-208's before NJA...

PS Hey I didn't know doosh was a bad word!
