Chuck Norris could kick Kirk's azz with two hands behind his back.

Of course not! If anyone tries to be Chuck Norris, they automatically vaporize.

Ok... Here we go. The best way to keep a thread going...

Chuck Norris doesn't have hair on his testicles, because hair does not grow on steel.

The eternal conundrum “what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object” was finally solved when Chuck Norris punched himself in the face.

Okay, who would win. Coach Ditka versus a hurricane? Trick question, it's Hurricane Ditka.

If you want you can come work for ASA after the furlough ends. We have kids with 300 hrs greasing em in between thunderstorms in the busiest airport in the world. Captains are pretty cool about it. on the other hand let me know if your on the 800XP and ill go yell at my dad for you ;-) i doubt its him though.

I agree. It must be a fleet-specific thing, as I've never seen such a thing in the Excel. I'm assuming you're in something else?

Why not approach this subject on our message board? This was hashed out last year (on the old board, so it's gone), and a lot of good came out of it. I'd suggest bringing it up.


Not to be a dick here, but have you actually talked to your captain about this? Just flat-out ask him: "Why is it you're taking all the legs?" Short, and to the point.

Don't stereotype the group by what a few freaks do; that's not the norm around here.

I'll make a suggestion: when making your case, don't use the word "airline" at all. It won't help. You're right, and I agree with you, but it still won't help. We're not an airline, and the minute you compare us to one (despite the many similarities) a lot of guys will lock up and get defensive. Skip that route, address this issue directly.

"Capt. X, I've been authorized to fly passengers per our manual for five months now. I need to keep in practice if I'm going to be a useful part of this crew."

Don't get emotional like you're being in this message. Be cool, be professional, and ask him what the issue is.

If he's unresponsive, I think a call to professional standards may be in order, because that's not reasonable, in my opinion. But I'd still put it out on the union board for discussion; you'll get more reasoned opinions than you'll find here.


Might want to tone down the ego, too, or the conversation will not go well. That paragraph sends up a bit of a red flag to me that says you might be contributing to the problem. Don't be defensive at that statement -- just step back and see it for what it is. That comes across as amazingly condescending.



On to the issue at hand:

Sitting there stewing in the right seat, saying nothing, accomplishes nothing.

Ranting about your frustration here on Flightinfo also accomplishes nothing.


If you want to address the issue, you need to address it with the person creating this issue, and that's the guy you're flying with. That's the first step.

Good luck.

this guy might look like a baboon, but thats about the smartest information you can get
