hey for all of you that are coming to training at XJ, some advice. when you are told you must know your flows and your profiles BEFORE SIMS, do us all a favor and know them....study them.......dont be an a$$ and show up like my sim partner and not even know his acceptance flow.....waisting my sim time and my training........oh and know JEP plates before the sim......jesus, NOS plates will not help you. oh, do not give idiotic advice to your captain......no you do not know more than he or she does......oh, and if you are going to the jet, does not mean you are better, or special........it means you are still on the bottom of the senority list.........oh oh yes, and will upgrade to the saab.......good luck

No need to sugar coat it here Hawk. Just tell it like it is.

Good lord, tell me guys don't think that their FO aircraft assignment actually has anything to do with something other than company need, like their considerable skills shown to the evaluator during their undoutedly impressive 10 minutes at the controls of a desktop trainer....

He is a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.

Well well well, aren't you a bitter little do**** bag?

calling current people..."a bitter little do**** bag".... nice, at least it shows your professionalism. You sir have no idea what is going on in the trainning department. Just remember, you have no protection for the first year... good luck! and welcome aboard.

Ok first of all if you're trying to call me unprofessional b/c of my comment, well then you should tell your boy not to get on a forum and talk trash about his sim partner either and bark at the new people with out even knowing them. Secondly in regards to your training department, man.... cry me a river bro. Seriously do you think your training department is the only one with serious issues. If I had a nickle for everytime I heard someone complain about their training department and airline I would be rich. Everyone seems to think that their company sucks at this and sucks at that, and they victimize them selves b/c of it. Oh yeah I know I dont have protection the first year bud, this is not my first airline. I think I have an idea of how things work. Thanks

LOL! Hahaha! Finally someone asked!
Let me answer your question with another question. Did you ever see the movie "The Ring"?
If you havent i suggest you watch it with the light off and the volume turned waaaaaay up! LOL. Then after you're scared sh***less just look at my avatar and you'll get a goooooood laugh.

FWIW, while there are plenty of problems where I work, the training dept is most definitely not one of them.

Good for you. Like I said, wether it's the training department or lame management, or the fact that they have to drive to work! People will always come on here and bi*** and moan about their job!
Kind of annoying really. I just talked to a good friend of mine that is working TWO full time jobs to make ends meet, and pretty much only getting 1 day or so off a week. Times like these is where I'm thankful that eventhough my job can sometimes be stressful i still get 11 hard days off on reserve, not to mention the other 10 days I dont get a call while on reserve and atleast be doing what I love. Not having to wash cars, or stock shelves. Some of us have forgotten how hard it can really be.

Flybet3,

Good job on getting the PIC job at Mesaba. When you get to MEM, you need to hit a rib joint called Rendezvous near downtown. Awesome dry-rub ribs. I'd say they are some of the best ribs I have ever had. Have fun.

flybet, okay here is the deal, on my first day of SIM, my sim parnter pulls out his POM and starts going item by item on the acceptance check....the long version. He admitted to not bringing home his poster for studying the flows. Which showed since he did not know where anything was in the SIM. Okay and here is lesson 8.....he still did not know his profiles or his flows......then on our check ride, he could not pull it together enough to run a final flow for me. Did I mention he tried to turn me of course when I was briefing the approach...taking me out off the published approach! I caughed it...I passed and got a really nice quiet congrats from the check airman.....good job, your sim partner really made you work hard for it though...I guess that is how flying the line willbe!


Here is for you insulting me.....if you are at mesaba....you watch that arrogant mouth when you are in the crew room, we have no tolerance for arrogant new FO's......its the old FO's who will not stand for it oh, and i do not take lightly to your comments, guess what I will remember your flight info FLYBET3....used to live in st peter.....I will have some army stickers on my flight case....come talk to me.....I will set you straight on how to act like a mesaba pilot.....how cool our pilot group is.....how great our instructors are, how professional our check airmen are.......but I will say, when I was an FO, not knowing flows and profiles is unacceptable for an FO.........good day
