Has anyone been through the '09 version of CQ? I have it coming up and would like to know what they are doing.

Fresh for the 2009 MV. Duel Bird strikes into both props! Followed by your Captain yelling, "I got it young man!" and followed by a deadstick water landing in the Hudson.

Good Luck.

I heard this year it is some ground school, an MV, and an LOE.

Expect a written test.

Know the emergency procedures.

Don't f**k up.

Did I miss anything, W?
 
Nahh, got the early on call.

But hey! What can't they throw at you? We know the city pairs. We know the disgusting non-precision profiles and specials. The limitations haven't changed a whole lot.

What's left? A pi$$ed off instructor.

I just manage the parts that I can. There's not much left.

* the "don't f*** up" part still stands.

Some tips: If ITT is above 785, don't say "Everything is normal."

Don't retract the flaps on a pitch jam.

Don't crash.

Don't enter a hold incorrectly.

Not too hard, but not easy. Jesus, imagine how hard it would be if we had an FMS to program.

I'll put my skillz up against any 121 operator out there. The problem is that I'd probably take a pay cut for doing it. Discuss---

It won't be JetBlue. They told me "no thanks, you fly turboprops."

Morons. Like damn RJ puppies are any better.
 
What's this crap I hear about the CQ hotel? Rooms that open to the outside are contractually illegal.

Jesus.

And I'm about .0001% the pilot you are. I'll maintain that ANYONE can get whacked in CQ- if you make it here, you can make it at any carrier.

And then you have the Dash 8 FO that goes to Cathy Pacific to fly the 777ER. During his interview he said that there were more Dash 8 drivers then anything else.

Things that make you go hmmmmmmm.

His interview gouge was priceless.

"What would your CP think about you interviewing here?"

He whips out a LOR from the CP, slides it across the table... That guy was sharp as a tack, too.
 
Yea, he was a sharp unit. I can't even imagine all the asian woman that dude is bangin out right now.

EVERY DAMNED ONE OF THEM. Must be the glasses. He's like the Bill Brasky/Chuck Norris of Piedmont...

Ha! Not true, but thanks for the complement. I have to admit, I was darn frustrated when JetBlue told me that. Ah well. Better things are on the horizon. I hope.
 
Speaking of CQ, anyone see the new hire FA's today in CLT?

Out of 12 I gotta say 6 were smoking hot! Bob Trout is BACK! It's been so long since we hired any kinda talent at this airline.

Maybe they decided to bring on some 'eye candy' since we're all bummed out 24/7.

The Bob Trout moral program. Gotta love it!
 
I was just telling my captain about how we knew when Trout was hiring. Dang!

Glawson still there?

Thats so funny ya'll bring that up. I heard about his hiring practices almost 2 years ago...and now all those predictions seem to be turning out to be right.

I thought it was just BS but apparently not.
 
Man, I remember all the Hooter Girls from Wilmington, NC that were based in EWN.

Talk about great times in Hilton Head with that bunch!!
 
Glawson hadn't been seen since I left there. Been at least 2 or 3 years since he was running the sim, longer since he hit 60.
 
As for good ole Frank Glawson, the story I heard was that the company stiffed him and the other "retired" instructors for some cash when USAirways went through bankruptcy #1. So Frank told them to pound sand. I'm sure he did it in his ever so tactful way:)

Nothing more funnier then doing a hold in CQ for 30 minutes to look back in the sim to see why.

He was a hoot! And all the stuff he said and got away with. He cracked me up at times!

"All right, ladies. I have a (*&ing date tonight, and I'm NOT gonna be late. So if this (*&ing thing takes longer than (*&(* one hour, I'm bending one of you over and (*&(*ing the (*&(ing !@# out of you. So who is gonna be? YOU? You're pretty. Your leg."

I was in tears, literally. I don't think a single thing was done by the book for at least 5 minutes, we were laughing the whole way. Best part? He pulled that stunt with another crew, and I'd heard about it. CLASSIC.
 
He did my upgrade. He beat the sh!t out of everything in that sim with the pump handle. He would drive us to/from training smoking all the way.
Frankie and the D!ckheads rule!!!

ILM gals rocked. God bless Trout and his keen eye for a 'quality' flight attendant.
