Heard you guys just lost a guard cat. Story goes like this: Dude gets caught de-selecting guard during IOE by his CKA, who looked over after hearing a kitty. Gets lambasted and told to never do that ******* again. Happens again the next day and is shown the door.

That’s some expensive p*****.

Yeah, that story in which not a single person knows anybody involved in this supposed incident has been around for a while. Kind of like the FO answering the phone on takeoff roll and immediately saying to the CA "your controls", in which I've heard 30 different versions of from various check airman.

It’s fun to pretend though and overreact by making drastic FOM and checklist changes.

Not on takeoff roll...but in line for takeoff...that had better be your future airline on the phone.

Even if this is true, and you’re that stupid…. Probably should be fired…

If you wear brown pants to work, the cellphone story that cost an FO his job happened at your airline. He was off property that day. No idea about cats, but it never ceases to amaze me how many people throw away a great job for a moment of immaturity.

I just finished IOE. CKA are being told these stories in CKA meetings. It's not just a rumor. IOEs for new hires haven't all been going smoothly.
