Where do you draw the "entertainment" line in the cockpit?

[timeless]

Watching dvds can be a bad idea if you end up laughing too hard to talk to ATC.

The PSP vs. Pax is funny.

One of the dumbest statements ever posted on the forum. There is a reason that there are two pilots...it's so one can back the other one and listening to the radio sort'a eliminates that check and balance. F^kn amazing!

How is that adumb, let alone, the dumbest statement? He just stated that he, like many of the other people on this thread, listens to the radio. However, unlike everyone else, he makes a point to only listen when his primary responisbility isn't listening for ATC. That does not mean that he doesn't listen to ATC or whatever other meaning you inferred from the post. Your "dumbest statements" response kind of loops right back at you in the context of this thread...

Don't think so.

Anybody defending a pilot in the seat tuning out 'cause the other guy is doing the radio don't have a clue.

If I have to explain any further...

Usually everything is ok with me except that time when the other guy brought out a fake blow up girl and began to perform some nasty things to it. I felt, just....uncomfortable and yet curious. I had to put my foot down and tell this person to please stow your blow up mate. He continued to fornicate with this made in china women. At that point I took the doll away from him. This created a good deal of stress that leg.

So in my opinion please don't bring rubber or plastic women with you to work.

That's just unreasonable. Show me in the Operations Handbook where it says we can't make sweet love to blow up dolls in the cockpit. I bet you can't.

I'm not defending anyone. I simply said in the context of this thread calling out one person, who actually seems to be more safety conscious than the rest, is not rational.

Another regional pilot speaks his mind. I'm sure that your ops manual does not allow this type of activity. Thanks for your insight.

Some of you guys really need to remove that stick from your rectum. If you have such problems with multitasking that you're unable to listen to both the ATC radio and the talk radio station, then you probably lack the mental capacity to fly an airliner anyway.

Pleasure reading and listening to ADF radio is prohibited by our Operations Manual. It wouldn't surprise me if it were prohibited at AirTran as well.

Do you intend to engage in these activities during your probationary year because of your vast mental capacity?

Does anybody understand the term context??

So I'm sure while you're crewing your (non-regional) aircraft you don't talk while taxing and of course never below 10,000? And of course you never read anything except your ATIS, jeps, or ops manual while in flight.... You're my hero.

So as a Status Rep at Pinnacle, you didn't have the opportunity to represent someone who was caught violating the Ops Manual before you abandoned your pilot group during negotiations to take a job at a non ALPA carrier?

The CVR also cannot be used in discipline of flight crews or presented as evidence in enforcement proceedings. Under any circumstances.

This is a vey misleading statement. If the NTSB takes possession of the CVR as a result of an accident/incident investigation the above statement is true. Until that time it is the property of the company and they can use it for any purpose they want. The same is true for FDR data. I have seen both of them used to initiate disciplinary action against pilots - including termination -and I have seen both of them used by pilots to exonerate thmeslves of trumped up charges. Keep in mind the company you work for can do whatever they want with CVR recordings and FDR data. It is the FAA that is restricted from using it.

Of course, on many occasions. However, I never had to represent someone for reading or doing something else to pass the time on the flight deck. Anyone that would care about such a thing is an even bigger tool than the average Pinnacle manager.

before you abandoned your pilot group during negotiations to take a job at a non ALPA carrier?

Ah, I was wondering how long it would take you or one of the other RJDC wankers to try that avenue of attack. Maybe you view it as a "noble" calling to become a regional lifer, but most of us went to the regionals as a stepping stone. While there, I worked my ass off to make it better for those that would come after me. I think most of the pilots that I represented would agree that I did a pretty decent job of that.

And by the way, I don't expect AirTran to be a non-ALPA carrier for many more years.
