The WSCoD is back!!

[LXJ31]

I think its "Whistling $%^#can of Death"

If you've seen my airport Jeep, its appropriate. I like the darn thing though and refuse to give it up.

Anyway, WSCoD is referring to the ERJ bizjet in discussions on Flightinfo.

When LegacyDriver was defending his ride to the hilt in the "Legacy Bashfest - Bring it On" thread (600 some-odd posts and counting), WSCoD (or is it WSoD? - see above for what the acronym means) was a term coined by an ERJ pilot to describe the ERJ-derived Legacy.

god the guy that made that term was a genius. I still reading the thread and Legacy driver is talking about how great the plane is and how much fun it is to fly.

Then this regional pilot gets on and says he's got like 4000hrs in the plane and it's a true WSCOD. That was the best moment ever.

I don't remember the Jungle Jet being that bad. A little slow in the climb in the summer but other than that I recall it being ok. Maybe I was just so excited to be out of a Jetstream I didn't know the difference.

Falcon Capt.--Yep, they fixed it on the V and subsequent.

Now, I just have to make the adjustment for 8-10 months until we trade it in on a 450... You know, the ashtrays are full. TC

 

[GVFlyer]

in one respect--WHO THE ***K DESIGNED THE SPEED TAPE ON THE GIV?!

I mean, it's upside down for crissake!

Ok, I'm through... TC

I dunno...I thought it was easier to teach the Glass on the GIV - you pitch down to lower altitudes and higher speeds, pitch up to lower airspeeds and higher altitudes and voila' - that's the way the tapes run on the GIV. The GV is pin selectable - you can make the tapes run anyway you want. On the G550 the tapes are industry standard, but they run in opposite directions from each other. There were a number of pilots in flight test that wanted to keep the tapes on the GV the same as on the GIV - it was a marketing decision to "fix" them.

I waited for another of the uninitiated to ask, but they haven't, so I will : What is WSCoD ? Seems to have negative overtones ?

It's a secret society.....just like BAFAN....

I wish somebody would have made Bafanguy give up the goods on that before telling him the meaning of WSCoD.

Bafanguy, just go ride in an ERJ once and you'll know what everybody is talking about. You might notice the guys up front wearing David Clarks .

Is it at least the right way on the G-550?

Yo Falc capt , your tagline could be used as a promotional for all WSCOFD crews......eg "its not about the destination its about surviving the trip........ see ya in the fall ;-0)"

Los Angeles based operator is looking for two qualified captains on an
Embraer Legacy.

Minimum hour requirements are: 4000 Total Time, 2500 Multi, 2000 Multi
PIC

Job will consist of part 91 owner flying and 135 Charter flying.

Company will pay for training.

Pay will be based off current company pay scale and pilot experience.

Wow, what a conundrum...trying to decide whether for work for someone who...

....on one hand, actually bought is WSCOD.

But on the other hand, is smart enough to recognize that experience flying jets isn't necessary.

Of course, when they include something like "Company will pay for training" in the ad as if that's something special, you know who their target pool of applicants is.

Where do you sign up?...I want to make sure I'm not accidently anywhere near where they want that line to form.

 

[Gulfstream 200]

I got a kick out of that also..."company will pay for training!!"....WOO HOO!!

the sad part is that a big change for some.....I wonder if they offer "per diem" also..

Speaking of WSCoD, I see Little Debbie in CHA now has one. I wouldn't guess thats a compliment to their Citation fleet (Citations get more compliments than WSCoD!!)

Maybe they lost a bet or something and were forced to buy one... That would be about the only logical solution!

Nah, I think they just wanted a regional airliner that actually left on time.


WSCoD has the market cornered again!!!
