Wasn't this Scott Hall's job?

He had me until I realized that he refers to people as "son".

Here's a few, let me know if anything is familiar:

1. Crosswind landings suck. I've seen the wrong rudder, wrong aileron...or nothing at all. Trying to make smooth touchdowns in gusty conditions...Over the threshold at the top of the bucket and 50' high, floating halfway down the runway. Landing distance calculations are predicated on touching down by 1500' down the runway. Do you know where that mark is on a precision runway? Probably not. That's why our next incident will probably be another overrun.

2. Don't know what RTM curves are and how they relate to performance. Have no idea how to fly CAS/MACH transitions....All they know (running 30 min ahead of sked) Balls to the wall, 5 kts below redline through moderate turbulence... Fun to watch~

3. Energy management problems, spoilers when not required, don't understand relationship between ground speed/altitude and required rate of descent, sloppy use of autopilot, over-banking in turns when hand-flying, speed busts, climbing at 2800 FPM 1000' from assigned altitude,

4. TOO LAZY/DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRIM AN AIRPLANE. Have you ever been flying around with the autopilot on, slip/skid brick hanging halfway to the window, yoke cocked 10 degrees in the direction of said brick, and no effort to correct this? Or do you just not notice? It's pervasive, and mark of poor technique and training.

5. Can't use a checklist. Doing the flow, missing items, and burying their noses in the checklist without visually verifying the item was done. Watch your FO next time. Guarantee this will be what he/she does. Guarantee you're not looking either if you think this kind of performance is "up to snuff". It kills (Air Florida).

6. 9/10 can't make an appropriate turbulence report. There's literature on that, but apparently no one has read it.

7. Can't use a weather radar. 6/10 don't know how to use the tilt. They raise it until everything looks clear and pretty. Well, son, you gotta understand the closer you get to a "threat", the more you have to tilt the plate down to see it. If you think because you've gotten 20 miles from a storm and it's "dissappeared" from the MFD, then you must be on top of it, right? WRONG.

These are just a fraction of these nefarious and ubiquitous "infractions". I hope y'all have learned a few things. Yes, this place has some great pilots, but the FO's I've flown with? Even after 5-6 years plying their trade? Not impressed. That's all I have to say about that. Flame away, flamers

Flying an RJ is hard for you, isn't it?

The last time we had an overrun, it wasn't the FO at the controls. It was the Captain.

Nice!
