OR you could go buy a 1/4 share of a Cub and go out and fly whenever and wherever you want. When you are flying into a canyon strip on the way to a fishing/camping trip, you could give a rat's a.. who flies into DTW or how many legs the other guy gets.

 

Yes. He flew 3 of the first 4. I figured he would split the last turn since he split the first turn. I was wrong. There's also the guy that decideds to go by 2's from the beginning when there's 10 legs for the trip. Guy ends up flying 6 of 10. Then there's the guy with the out and back greenslip with 2 different first officers who flies both legs. I know this because the other first officer is a friend of mine. These things have each happened to me in the past year all on the -88. It's not a huge deal as we get plenty of legs, but is it really that hard to split the legs 50/50? I believe the captain should get the extra leg if it's an odd number, but to steal a first officer's leg when there's an even number of legs is disrespectful if you ask me. It's a petty high school move. FWIW, I would never say anything in the cockpit about this. I just couldn't resist adding my 2 cents about "that guy."

 

Bragging he got post # 180,000 on the greatest forum of all time on the PA.....check.

 

Anyone finding no trips in Open Time on I-Crew? All bases and planes.

 

I checked earlier and had to change the end date. Mine showed today only for both start and end.

 

I use the local credit union mainly for keeping my league's fantasy football funds separate from my checking/brokerage/IRAs/529 accounts with Schwab. Schwab provides me with free checks, refunds on ATM fees, and great service....easy online ability to move funds between the credit union account if I need it. They get a hearty recommendation from me.

 

Now that's funny! How did he give that signal?

 

I'm going to step up and defend some of the times the landings don't seem like a fair split. I'm happy to be a commander of the radio. I've had plenty of legs in my time.

But, there are times that I'm not going to let the FO take the leg. It's a pretty short list. If he's right out of the schoolhouse, I'll take the first leg. If it's a 900, I'm going to take it until I assess your flying skills. I have a healthy fear of tail strikes. I'd rather hurt your feelings than do a carpet dance over a tail strike. I'll make it up to you later in the trip.

I know landing in the same place is boring. I try to mix it up. I do try to make sure the landings are even.

For you FO's, I can't wait until you make Captain, you will discover that not all of the *******s are in the left seat. I'm just sorry I can't put them on a do not fly with list. Talk about a miserable trip.

Now, let's talk about this long sleeve shirt thing everyone's wrapped around. What is your problem? You need to let it go.

 

Must be nice to have an extremely wealthy wife.

 

So...how do you 'assess his flying skills' if you don't let him fly? He passed his sim check, he passed his IOE, but now you have to decide if he's good enough?

When I was flying domestic, I always gave the F/O's as many legs as they wanted, pays the same, just don't wake me up!

Now that I'm doing ULR flying, I only take one leg per month, just to keep from having to commute into ATL for bounces on my days off.
