Soooo. Now that the rumors of Delta buying us have come and gone it would seem it's going to be a slow painful death after all. As much as we need new pilots how can we honestly tell anyone this is a good place to be, how can anyone who does a sliver of research decide to come here. Feels bad man

Now Celine Dion is stuck in my head, unbelievable.
"...Near, far, wherever you are
I believe that the heart does go on..."
"...You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and on..."

Off topic, seems like maybe 25% of the people I fly with are doing this:
In the landing flare, passing “twenty” they suddenly start slamming the yoke forward and backward fast and maybe 6” of motion. So fast and such large control movements that they cancel eachother out and also you can feel the whole plane shaking from the motion of the elevator.
This seems strange to me. Like in calm wind I’d expect the yoke barely move, and if it did, in one smooth continuous motion.
Am I missing some secret Embraer technique (really) or is this just people over controlling it?

If it's gusty that's another story, but in calm conditions, you don't need to do that.
