We wouldn't want to allow LGB pilots access to the checkairman ranks. What would happen to the very lucrative junkets from the east coast? You know, the ones where a JFK checkairman is paid to DH to LGB crank out a quick line check and DH home. Ahhhh....110 credit hours with a 10% override and premium pay driving me to true airline pilot earning status. Gotta love the system. SOME of us will continue to realize the pay that MOST of us used to enjoy. Just remember - you're lucky to have a job.[/QUOTE]

LGB has 2 checkairmen.
