wouldnt this problem have been addressed airbus wide after the AF crash? what im saying is that if cross controlling killed the first one in a stall, did airbus come up with a gameplan to make sure this didnt happen again? and is it briefed by delta crews? i know that everytime you read a saftey board report hindsight is 20/20, but it seems like this may have been avoidable. Lessons are bought and paid for in blood and all that.........

dont score your own BDUs...i almost learned that the really really hard way

Does this Flightline subscription have any cost? I'm not finding any info on that or how to set up an account on their website.

It's not the cause of either crash and that is why Airbus doesn't have anything to fix. There are ways to control the aircraft even if the other guy is doing something different. It's been the same system for over 30 years now. It's even more safe than a Boeing because in a Boeing it becomes a fight of who is stronger. In an Airbus you can completely isolate the other side stick. What happens in Boeing if a guy croaks and slumps over on the controls or if he is a maniac and is stronger than the other guy?

Boeings have the advantage of letting the other guy see and feel what is going on. That would be nice and it does increase SA, but this Captain knew he needed more nose down pitch. He didn't need to feel and see that through the controls. He would have gotten what he wanted had he pushed the button on the side stick or had a partner that recognized a stall and recovered properly. I say that realizing Monday morninging this deal is easy. It would suck to actually have to recover from an unusual attitude and stall in the airplane.....but we are trained to do just that almost every CQ.

In other news. I've decided to be a slam clicker.

You must be getting close to holding CA😝

For good or just for the next trip? I've fully embraced the selective slam clicker lifestyle. Haven't quite built up the courage to go full on slam clicker.

What happened? Did your recording of an ice machine wear out?

Yea there are a few different plans, I seem to recall. As for cost, I think your only option is to call.

You are not necessarily stuck. As the other fellas already noted, One way to change your schedule is "move X Days" but that does' change the number of Reserve days you have, it just moves them.

It sounds like you talked to scheduling about it, but the other way I didn't see discussed is Personal Drop (P/D) via PCS. That's the only way to get rid of/drop a Reserve day, but the "4-99-4" rules already discussed don't apply to a P/D. For example, you can drop the middle day of a 3-day period, and create two single days of Reserve. BUT, There has to be excess reserve on the day in question - Look in Open Time in iCrew for "Pilot Reserve Levels". If there is not a surplus in blue, you can't P/D the day (APD is different). Also, you will lose approx 1/17th of your month's pay...

New Notam format. This is just MSP-LGA with an alt. I think it puts me over my carbon footprint limit
