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.
All phoenix is saying is that there are better researched, modern, and among other more progressive CIVILIAN carriers widely embraced ways of operating aircraft. F9 has been pretty much running the same checklists and same SOPs for 21 years. Change is hard, but it is necessary. I'm sure phoenix is flying by the book, but there is no harm in him suggesting (and that's all he's doing) his ideas derived from a valuable background on how we might do it better. I am surprised folks are having an issue with this since he's only suggesting ways Frontier may improve. Honestly, I'd love to have more people like him in our flight decks. Independent thinking should not be penalized. The usual drones that just fall asleep nearly every leg and haphazardly run checklists without even looking at it and manage to make a stabilized approach maybe once or twice per 4-day trip kind of wear on me.
