Default FDX - Porked away NAT line check

Fellow Maddog Fedex dudes. I’ve had a couple of cocktails and I’m posting. Probably not a good idea but that’s the way it is. I know most of us are top notch drivers that do the job right. I really hope the tools that caused the recent emails from standards are on this forum and get to see this post. If so, here’s to you – toolbags.

Thanks to you - the 1% idiots for the latest “war & peace” emails (x2) from the MD-11 standards gurus. ***!!! Now we get to deal with extra procedures and additional FAA scrutiny on line checks because you fools are too lazy to do your job properly. I like flying international but I can’t hold it on a regular basis. I’ll be glad to handle your cherry Europe trip if you’re too incompetent to get there without a GNE or inability to pass a line check over the North Atlantic.

This job has its challenges but give me a break. You idiots are making it wayyyyyy harder than it needs to be. Gander tells you to cross 50W at FL290 and you’re at FL330 – you f--king do it. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall on that flight deck during the line check. “Hey, dude, do you think the jet is going to descend to make the restriction? Boy, I hope so. What should we do if it doesn’t start down. Jeez, we’re only 10 mile from the point we’re supposed to be at 290, the jet is still at 330, what should we do? ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pathetic!!! Where do we get these idiots???

I don’t care if you “fessed up” or not. You guys are tools and you have no business flying around TN never mind crossing the North Atlantic.
Rant over.
