Virgin America

[Q400 Gear Bitch]

Clearly Fubi is an anglophile. He cannot be part of the Virgin culture so he distances himself by pretending he is an angry ALPA prophet with the disdain of any company that is non-union. Clearly his distaste for Virgin employees displays that he is really in a love/hate relationship. He cannot commit to his admiration for all thing british, so his only logical recourse is one of open public distain. So I say this to you fellow FIers, anytime FUBI slants anything Virgin he is clearly praising it openly. Who knew a psych minor would provide so much entertainment. Cheers!

Glad the guy that told me that was apparently mistaken.

He may not be. I am not familiar with how you can obtain a PIC type rating in the right seat. I can be wrong but I believe that you would only have a SIC type which is valueless.

PIC/SIC is not seat specific, nor seat limiting as long as seat dependent training is provided and documented. A number of airlines do this and it is certainly the norm for most fleets at Delta for example.

Type rating FOs in their proper seat without the SIC restriction is far from out of the ordinary.

Very true. I got my 757/767 type in the right seat at ATA. Later only had to do a PC when I upgraded to Captain.

Back a couple of years ago,most of Europe requiered all pilots from the U.S. have a SIC type.It was just a paper work formality,but I witnessed a few times where guys would tell you they where typed in a certain airplane.It sounded good...

I you look at the back of your certificate, "SIC" privileges is a restriction to the type rating. That's not generally how we think about it but I think technically you can have a type rating with the SIC restriction.

Plenty of union represented airline pilots ride to work on VA from lower cost of living areas to their bases in SFO and LAX as well. Give them the option of riding on their own company or VA and you can bet they are gonna take VA.
As for your jumpseat idea....spend that effort on grammer school.

Grammer school.
