I must be the STUPID CMR pilot.

The incessant flood of low time PFTers into the airline biz should, if anything, cause the corporate safety rate to close any gap with 121.

Just wait, I'll bet the vast majority of cookie-cutter sjs kids are still in the right seat.

Can you imagine how the fractional shareholders would shriek if they knew that their multimillion dollar jet had a 500 hr wonder in it?

Oh c'mon. I've read your posts on here for a while now and I know you're smarter than this. The real low time PFTers of the mid to late 90's have been Captains for quite some time now. Hell, the FO's being hired by my airline now are like veterans compared to some of the guys hired back in those days.

I usually just ask for type IV in the morning and hope it keeps us anti-iced all day long......severe non-seriousness.

When you refer to a crappy day for example, it is "IMC", "C" for "Conditions". It is not IFR or VFR out. Those are "rules", like a flight plan. You operate under IFR in IMC. There is my first and only geeky post. Enjoy.

How much experience does it take? See ice on the airframe, call for deice. Not that hard.

Seriously. I'm with you imacdog.

Would this guy rather call him stupid for crashing at the departure end for whatever airframe icing reason.

This place gets wierder by the day.

........(sorry kids, 3000hrs in a senaca fartin around FL doesnt count),.......

Not to be a perfectionist, but it's a Seminole, not a Seneca, which is even worse. The counter-rotating props do no justice for training, especially when they fly a real twin and lose an engine.

He's one of those "ACADEMY" dorks, anyway, who thinks (s)he's God for going there and getting hired by Conair (that was on purpose).

Good call on the ice (or rather, "ICE"), bad call on admiting where you trained and worked at. The "ACADEMY" is a rip off. I went there, too (Damn, bad call on me.....).

I went to the Academy when it was still affordable and it hasn't bit me yet?

With little to no experience these days in the cockpit (sorry kids, 3000hrs in a senaca fartin around FL doesnt count), I'd rather see these monkeys de-ice when they dont have too

So I suppose if my flying around in Florida(So you assume that my experience stops there) doesn't count, then I believe to a Mainline guy flying a larger guage aircraft than you that your pitty 5 grand in Gulfstream nor the RJ count either. That would also mean that we can take away your first 2 or 3000 hours because I'm sure you you didn't gain your ALMIGHTY experience in a Gulfstream or any jet for that matter.
