FWIW... Since the time she was called out a few months ago, she's been nowhere to be found. It's amazing how people feel they have all the courage to bitch while hiding behind a "screen name" yet when they're "made" they go into hiding.

JJ, if you were so concerned about how your captains were treating you, why did you ever feel the need to secretly complain. You felt you were in the right yet you knew better than to use your real name. Why? I suppose you just wanted to find a way to make sure your reputation from the last frac you worked at carried over to NJA.

Good work. As far as keeping this thread going... "Porter " deserves the "face time" she's getting so keep it going.

 

[G200_PILOT]

Just checked. The last time she was on was on October 29th. Guess you guys really scared the $hit out of her.

In an effort to keep this thread alive:

I hate it when captains fly the empty legs! Some of you think you are soooo cool when you hand flying up to F470, leveling off 8 times on the way (and not being able to hold altitude) and making me almost puke up my crappy catering. And what's with the excessive roll rates and Gs? Just fly the same as when there are passengers on the plane, you are not impressing me. And if you are hand flying, and I get some crazy reroute and frequency changes up the wazooo, put the freaking auto pilot on and help me.

just slap his azz.....no one will tell

Agreed. I do like to hand fly the airplane on occasion (green data - if your just following the flight director, your not hand flying the airplane) but I always brief my partner that if he needs my help don't ask for the A/P, just reach up and engage it.

True dat! Except the part about the catering. :laugh:

I dont like when the captain checks me in when he doesnt even know who or where I am at. Last week I had a noon check in, but was checked in at 7am by the captain. Not that big of an issue, but why do it?

 

[gutshotdraw]

It's even worse when the junior guy checks you in at 0500 when your show time isn't until 1000. And then two days later, whines when you agree to help out scheduling by leaving the hotel a half hour early (at noon local after 18 hours of rest BTW) to recover a broken airplane with the pax waiting.

<<<< Last week I had a noon check in, but was checked in at 7am by the captain. >>>>

We have Stressberry "check-in" anomalies over here.....

Was the captain the "original" captain as scheduled to operate with you, or was there another pilot (captain/SIC) involved? If we have a crew swap scheduled, but all crew members are "linked" to the same tail number, if any of "Crew A" check-in as "all crew," the Blackberry system sometimes doesn't differentiate between Crew A & Crew B, & checks in everyone! Clear as mud!!

I got you beat..I woke my a%$ up at 5 AM the other day, only to find I had already been checked in by my capitan who was three states away.

The nerve of that guy..Jesus!

 

[G200_PILOT]

On the topic of hand flying...

Whether you're the PIC or SIC, fly every leg like you had Warren himself in the back. I love flying with guys I've never met before and have them fly the empty legs first. They fly it like an F-18 and then get pissed when I say no to them flying a pax leg. Why? Because I want to see you fly the airplane smoothly and efficiently before I hand over the controls. I had an SIC fly a live leg and he flew it just the way he did when it was empty... like crap! Ever since then, I tell them to fly every leg the same as the last.

 

[captain dad]

Captain's that value their lives and chew gum, whistle, hum, belch, or any other annoying things into the mike, need to both stop and get over themselves.

I'm not kidding! You are driving us crazy.

P.S. drop a mint once in a while

 

[G200_PILOT]

Dad, you know as well as I do that THAT can go both ways. But I agree with you 100%.

That's what you get for living on the "wrong" side.

 

[Semore Butts]

They are talking about Dooker and Porter on Fox News!

Some guy wrote a book saying that the new breed of pilots can't make a decision like "Sully" because they are trained only to run automation.

I thought it was funny because somebody posted here that the F.O. would have made it all the way to the gate instead of putting it in the Hudson.

The interviewees point was that Sully had the ability to know the reality that he couldn't make it!

May all you young pilots live long enough to be in the position of the pilots you now condemn!

Porter, may you a$$ always fit in the seat!

(See, I'm a nice guy, that was a nice thing to say right?)

 

[Crash Pad]

On the other side of the coin, I have flown with plenty of Captains that push the aircrafts published limitations on when the autopilot gets flipped on and off. So if we are going to discuss Capt. vs. FO actually flying the aircraft, remember there is always two sides to every story. Just because you are 58 (or 28) doesn't mean you are going to make the correct decision. Who is this "guy" by the way?

Had a younger guy been flying they wouldn't have run through the flock of birds. But do to delayed synaptic response times and poor eye sight of the "older gentlemen" in the left seat they ran right through them. Unfortunately, what was thought to be a very long runway, by the older gentlemen, turned out to be a river.

See, young guys can make up stories too.

All kidding aside, Capt. Sully did one hell of a job. A credit to our industry. If you ask me, what better time to retire than when your on top.

Bump.

Wow Hiflyin really?

Your yankin and bankin through flocks of birds in your Air Bus?

what was thought to be a very long runway, by the older gentlemen, turned out to be a river.

Well I don't care who you are, that's funny!!!!!

If you ask me, what better time to retire than when your on top.

You mean like all those where are they now actors?

When you have achieved financial independence comes to mind.

I guess in Sullys case he can hit the talk show circuits and make a bundle.

Yeah G-200, I haven't heard anything from "Porker", I mean "Porter" since her "literary debut" flopped!

You moron, the younger pilot WAS flying. Please read the reports before you embarrass yourself.

I THINK YOU JUST EMBARRASSED YOURSELF SIR.

See the smiley face there in his post? Yeah,,,, that means he was joking. Now please step back and have a nice cold can of Ensure and STFU!

 

[glasspilot]

HEY PORTER!

Come on, come back. You started a thread with almost 400 replies (so far, more to come I'm sure) and over 17,000 views. That over 10% of all the ATPs in America! Think of that, more than 1 in 10 Captains at all the airlines, fractionals, put together have read your thread! And I'll bet it's over 9 in 10 Fractional Captains.

You're famous. So you got "outed" and you're a little embarrassed, but I think you should embrace it. This is your 15 minutes baby. Come back, post, and enjoy the ride.

Are you really sure about that. You might wanna read the reports on who took the controls after the bird strike.

Open mouth and insert VERY small stinky foot!

My comment was directed at the bird strike. The SIC was flying at that time.
I didn't think hyflyin was being satirical. If he was I'm sorry for my comment to him. However, av8tr and G200, piss off.
