Or if he's never upgraded, I guess he could use is one time freeze breaker for first time capt.

With a 2 year freeze? How much prep does he need.:eek:

-88 captains went as I expected. But, I was surprised to see 320 captain go to a guy just shy of 8000. Is that not good? |

If he's a 777B, he should have enough experience whether previous civilian job or the military. I'm by no means Chuck Yeager, or NewK but I went from the widebody world to my first capt checkout on a plane I never had flown as an FO. For that matter neither of my capt. gigs have been on planes I flew as FO. It's not rocket surgery.

A litle experience before bidding Captain. That's a very smart move IMHO.

Agreed. There was nothing bad about this bid. It was nothing spectacular except for how junior the 320 went (take a look at our trips if you're wondering why...yikes).
I looked at them. They reminded me of my DC-9 days. Hopefully, that will change when more of the 717's come on line. |

Or maybe he didn't log off and I was the next guy on the computer.:D. You never know. |

Rocket surgery sounds easy compared to all this weird laws you have to learn on that French thing you flew. I mean, how hard can it be to operate on a rocket? :D |

IMHO there is an awful lot of oddball stuff about the MD88 that is really only teachable by experience.

Me too, but, the MD88 is a different animal JMHO. There's just too much oddball stuff on that jet to put a Captain fresh off IOE into one with a new hire flying his 101'st hour at Delta.

(or does the freeze not inhibit a move from B -> A in the same aircraft?) Goggles, I think a first time Captain bid is a freebie on any aircraft. Can anyone confirm- no seat lock for first CAPT bid? Disregard - I think from Scambos post above the answer is no seat lock for first CAPT bid. Scoop |
