PIEDMONT Training Class Aug 13th

[mu2]

I guess you guys got through the alternate exemptions. That is the hardest thing to learn and actually understand for a new hire. If you got through that you'll get through anything.

thanks for the memory aid.

#2, think of PACK the cabin with people. TRIM the flight comp. with the trim wheel. Pack valves are for the cabin and the trim valves for the Flight comp. The 300s are different. There is 2 ACMs some only pack valves are used.

There I did my good deed for the day! Good luck

"If she trims up front, pack her in the rear."

...Worked for me, anyhow.imp:

I was also confused by question #1. I talked to a line guy and a training employee who said it automatically shuts down, but I saw no reference that backs that up and the above mentioned employee was less than stellar.

I have heard of those memory aids for trim and pack valves. However, for #2, how do you account for the fact that the 300 doesn't have trim valves? That was one of the questions on the system test I really hated.

I still stand by compressor discharge overtemperature sensor for #3, because that is more specific, but its your test so do what you think is best.

One could argue that since is doesnt specify ACM compressor discharge, it may be referring to another compressor on the plane...like the engines. I think its stupid but I wouldnt be surprised if it was either answer...its two vaugue and similar ambiguous answers.

I got a RBY overheat light on the apu panel about a year ago. apu didn't shut down if i remember correctly. we wrote it up. maintenance looked at it - don't remember it being much of an issue. i think its kind of a rare bird.

Apparently you could learn something from the guy.

Said hes 40 numbers away from the upgrade. So his version of "soon" may be different than mine, and yours. Course it depends on the company too.

 

[mu2]

Four more upgrades posted today!!! How many does that make this year? Now your friend is only 36 numbers away.

IF the upgrades come from the list between his friend and the junior captain. There are FOs senior to the junior captain changing their mind on waiting until they can hold a line, I'm sure.

 

[flypixs]

A good friend from high school is a 3rd year FO there and can upgrade now.

That is bull and you know it.......

 

[kf4amu]

That is bull and you know it.......

Please explain how someone with 0 airline experience would know that.

Besides, I clarified it. 40 numbers away.

not EVEN close jacka$$, my best friend has been there for 5+ years, and would accept anything to get some PIC and bail. Tell your buddy to deal with being a FO at PDT and stop lying to himself.

I'm a jackass for simply reiterating what I was told? Whats the matter, do you hate your job? Hate your wife? Hate your family? Go to therapy. Or you can get on the internet and talk ******************** to validate yourself. Oh wait...

Padawan? HAA no wonder you have no social skills besides internet arguing.

 

[LowlyPropCapt]

Pay no attention to CoAlpha. He knows essentially nothing about PDT.

 

[Heavy Set]

Just curious, where are the newhire domiciles for Dash 8 FOs at PDT? Where is everyone going?

 

[OPECJet]

8 opening in MDT on the last bid. There were openings in all the bases though.

You'll generally get what you want within a month or so though.
