Need Info On Air Cargo Carriers (ACC)

What a snot-nosed big shot.

Are you afraid of the Big White Hankerchief chasing you down? I sure hope so.

My intentions earlier in writing that fly a jet was too easy, wasn't meant in a pompous manner!

I didn't mean it in a "holy'er then thou" sense. It's just your instrument skills get a little rusty over time always going "Direct to", and always flying an autopilot. I enjoy being out in the weather, and the elements, and theres not much of that going on up at FL450. Sure theres a lot of different skills in flying jets, but I'm ready to get back in the elements, do lots of real instrument flying again, and fly something different.

Big White Hankercief? WTF? lol

So seriously, anyone else have anything constructive to add here?

User 998 - The shorts is a great airplane to get back into real instrument flying. We dont have an autopilot, and at the altitudes we fly, we spend a lot of time in the weather. Once you learn to trim the airplane, its an easy stick. I love hand flying again.

They are dangerous. They had a midair recently with a couple of their cowboy pilots showing off to their girlfriends. I recommend you look elsewhere.

What you say angers me. You really need stop speaking about things you know nothing about.

Partly True

Hightower, i flew for ACC and I still fly a shorts, and what you said is mostly true. The problem however is that there are a few of the planes that you just cannot trim. N334AC the "face plane" is really nice to fly. I think its 938ma? i think that was terrible maybe it was 937

Driver,

your right, some of these planes are bastards, it's those damn 330's. Some will trim for level flight with like 2 degrees pitch up and a 3 degree bank. crazy stuff. 360's not so much, they are quite a bit easier. I'm on the 300, good airplane.

I never got to meet ya but I heard a lot about you. Hope Alaska is treating you well.

Hey Wankel, clear out your PM's. It says I can't send you one because your inbox is too full!

 

[shortbus driver]

I hope all is well for ACC

I appreciate that...heard a lot about me...that could easily go for good or bad. Alaska is getting me a lot of flight time, but i work a lot and we do things that the shorts was not made to do...check out the other ACC thread on here...i got some pictures from yesterday and today...pretty crazy stuff

why does ACC require 1500 hrs tt for a first officer in a shorts?
