I wish we were flying Dash-8's. Oh well, I'm gonna quit flying and be a rock star anyway.

ATRCAPT:you are a rock star and I have the pictures to prove it ( thats why you can never run for office.) I'm a redneck woman........
Fokkers N Beer: Thanks, couldn't have had Dolly without you. Have fun @ Henry's. Say hey to all my girlfriends up there (they'll be the ones with a butt in front and back and no teeth.
Thunderworm: You and the D'man got the shafting of all mother loving shaftings for Thanksgiving. I'm drinking a PBR right now for you.

hello fokker/beer and atrcapt. I am fine over here in "paradise" only thing that could make it better is if I could get laid....DOH!!! The job is going well, new 208 arrived last week (14.5 hours from Van Nuys to Maui lots of ocean for an SE airplane if you ask me). Enjoying life again.
Hope you guys don't work too hard during peak. We don't have peak here as such, it's always peak fok/beer, is that BFR still available? I might need it if I don't get it here in the meantime, coming back to the mainland on the 23rd for a week. It's late and I'm outta beer, so later! Mike

Does Empire take jumpseaters? If so, what's the procedure? Thanks.

 

[ATRCAPT]

Hey Slomo -
Yes, we'll take FAR 135 and 121 crew members on the ATR and the F-27 only. Give the head office a call at 208-292-3850. Tell them you want to jump from A to B and request a jumpseat pass be faxed to the captain. Then just show up (with a goodie for the crew! - just kidding...sort of). Hope to see ya out there.

Actually, I think Trouserworm has the right idea. I'm not worried as much about the ice as I am about gusty crosswinds. That thing has 3 feet less wheel base on each side than the F. That's gonna make Sitka in January interesting! Once the F has all three gear on the ground it pretty much takes an act of Congress to upset it, but rolling out in the ATR you can **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** near lift a main gear off the ground by just tweaking the control wheel! Fokkers&beer, I agree. The "gear pod" does seem like an afterthought. (I thought you were in charge of the gear, mon ami! It was not me, it was you, monsieur!)
