While flying military contracting, I was very blessed to fly with some amazing former military aviators, we also flew per military rules. The point is that there was very little ego or ranking that went on. We worked together as crew always, there was no such thing as "CA typed / Left seat assigned / bid / Awarded a Left seat line, Pay, & schedule?" Whomever flew sat on left seat and did all the left seat duties and vice versa. Both crews were equally qualified on either station and duty, regardless who was the assigned PIC. PIC sign off was awarded with experience, not a number. a number means absolutely nothing regarding ability. In my opinion makes for a more capable crew.
You did Not answer the question SIR. -Go back to Your Post.
I would love to meet you; would probably really surprise you.
So lets get back to what YOU said, about doing Captain flows, Vs First Officer flows, And Duties.
Are you a capt or fo.?
What are you Currently Paid to do?, What are you currently Qualifed to do. What does Your seniority hold?
Welcome to Civil Aviation 101 in the USA. We got ourselves Civilian FARS, NOT Military rules, Here at FRONTIER Airlines.
You seem to really like to talk about "the mission" like Every F9 flight is a COMBAT mission. We don't fly COMBAT if you want that -go back to the Militarty or private contractor gig. We fly Civillian passngers from point A to point B Safetly & effieciently.
You want to fly F9 (then lets FLY. Lets fly per the FOM, and the CBA. EVERY Single pilot that works here (F9) signed on to that. That IS the system, no surprises, no curve balls, pure FOM & CBA).
Have a nice day.
