I don't know what else happens to the comments unless there's an issue that needs to be addressed, but I appreciated reading them though personally I think most Capts are reluctant to be critical. Some examples from mine: "Of all the new first officers I've flown with, he is definitely one of them." "Shows up to most flights. Often on time." "Amazing customer engagement. Ensured they were kept informed by responding to radio calls on the PA." I never had mine reviewed. Of course I don't recall a meeting with the CPO either, I guess I got lost in the mix. |

You flew with comedians. :D

Recently flew with a guy who freely admitted to being "as critical as possible" on his probation critiques. His reasoning was that, by being as critical as possible, he was giving the company the best opportunity to evaluate it's new hires.
Then again, he also felt the need to coach me through every descent and approach for 4 days despite the fact that I have twice the amount of time on the Mad-Dog that he does.... Hopefully there's a vetting process of some sort for these critiques. |
Can I just attach a picture to the NH probation form?

I was told they can see each CA's overall average. If there is a bad report they check how he grades overall. Make sure you wear shoes and socks to work. Socks alone will hurt your evaluation!

A captain once told me of an FO or FE he had that was walking down the concourse in just black socks. No shoes. :confused:
Actually a LAX Guy (could have been a FE or FO) got fired in the 90's for showing up and attempting to fly a whole rotation with no shoes. True story, although I may be off a little on some of the details. This is one of the base "Folklore" stories that we are told in LAX - along with the CAPT that threw the TV out of the window and, the Female CAPT that someone called security on because they thought she was a hooker in the crew room. :eek: He said something like he was sitting SC and on the beach and his stuff got stolen. Shows up with no shoes. CAPT says - I will do the Walk-arounds today, stay in the cockpit and tonight on layover get a new pair. Shows up day 2. No shoes. CAPT says what happened. FO//FE guy says I didn't have enough money to buy shoes. They repeat the same drill on day 2 but this time the CAPT lends the guys money to buy shoes. Shows up day 3 with no shoes. CAPT has enough. All Pilots report to CPO after trip. Guy gets fired. I don't know if this guy actually had mental issues or some shoe phobia but this is a true story. Scoop :p |

I once asked my LEC lead where DALPA's goals were listed. He said the goals were the survey. Immediate facepalm.
The goals are in the mission statement, and the areas where specific improvements are being sought are addressed in the survey. |

Scoop :p I heard another story about a guy who would wear black denim jeans to work. I don't think he got fired, but had to buy real pants. :rolleyes: |
