Finally he lost the stone face and laughed then said but what does the book say. Well, the book says ISA+35 at sea level, but since we don't take off or land anywhere below sea level, the max is 50 C. Then the peckerwood made me do a a complete flight plan from MEM to SHV and the only thing he gave me was city pair, # pax, cargo and that I needed an alternate. I had to figure everything including performance data.
Training was much better when I left.
Miss all my friends over there. Ya'll take care.. Toolman!

In their defense, it was right around the FL410 club accident. They had basically street CAs for quite some time too or very very quick upgrades (less than a year if you had the time). For many guys it was their first jet upgrade.
I remember hearing tons of horror stories about "Pink slip Peoples" and how to watch out for him, he's out to get you! kinda guy. I had a PC with him and guess what..... it was the most fairest ride I've had in my life. When I was done with him, I knew if he busted you, you probably deserved it.
