I’m 99% sure that it’s hyperbole.

I never said "CRJ-900", these days when I DH on them it's usually a 175 anyway tho the CRJ still makes its appearances. Hyperbole yeah a bit but .61 is quite possible if you're low enough, especially on say an LAX SFO... groundspeed was 240mph on the gogo wifi. Also roasting since some of them insist on waiting til the last minute to start the APU and it's an 85F day in LAX and you're roasting in the monkey suit.

I literally flew a trip with a FO who flew at 0.61 every one of his legs. At CPZ on the 175 heavy. Pretty sure he missed his calling at OO.

I think he just wanted to test my "when it's your leg, you fly the way you want to" limit. Still was on time or early on every leg even when he did it (and we made sure to ask ATC if they were okay with it). But it was a unique experience for sure...

Didn't know we had any of those here. Thought the upgrade was long enough now that no one needed to worry about hitting 1000 hours before upgrading... Even new hires.

This is how we are leaving planes now? Found in SEA. Previous release, PDC, wx all there still. Aka not maintenance.
