BLS,
Sir, I happened to non rev on an AK SkyWeezy flight and caught a glimpse of their snack basket. Of course I wasn't in first cause AK/Horizon never puts me in a good seat. However, I did spy a glimpse of premium fruit/nut mix bags along with, get this, jerky! Couldn't tell if it was beef jerky, turkey jerky, or if you could choose. But their snack basket compared to ours is the equivalent of Endeavors pay compared to ours. Need I say more? |
ABQ is probably the airport I fly into the most. I remember landing on 26 at night without an RNAV visual and never had a problem. I just don't understand why people have such a hard time with a visual approaches.
When the whole SJC night visual thing went down, ABQ was still landing 26 without an RNAV visual which I found humorous. |
Anyone know what this 6m EET ground school is in LAX?

Do you guys have to say "Speed checks" before each flap selection? We recently got that gem after a couple guys had some overspeeds.
We now can't call for flaps 1 until we're exactly at the FMS speed bug (210). Makes it even more of a pain to get down and their solution is for us to drop the gear at 6000+ feet 20nm out. |

I think waiting until exactly 210 is pretty dumb though. But since you brought this up...I'm giving it til Summer until we have this call. :D

Nah we don't have to do that. Usually set speed 200, call flap 1. This is my first 121 job, but coming from the 135 world and having friends at other regionals. It seems that here the calls here are built to be short and direct. Not any calls I can think of that are checks besides 1000ft and 200ft calls.

There is a corresponding module for the full motion sim, which I believe everybody will get at 6M. I think the FAA requirement is that all pilots receive the training by spring next year. |

I've heard some guys do it. I just glance at the speed as my hand is reaching for the flaps when I am PM. If I am really trying to slow down and go down I have a 5-10 knot buffer. Smooth, I'll call for flaps 5 knots below it's speed limitation, bumpy it's 10.
