All this is making me wonder if the transition the other way (Boeing to Bus) is equally "different."

One point, with all this talk of stalls and spins is, in the civilian world spins just are not taught any more. Given the number of commercial pilots who have departed controlled flight recently it would appear a must that some time in a pilot's training they spin a few airplanes.

I don't know what Delta's typical failure rate is in training but only 1 out of 60 CPZ Flow through pilots did not finish training successfully. I am not sure how many of the 60 were on the -9 or -88. I know there were quite a few on the A320 and about 3 or 4 went to the 757.

In other words, we (CPZ) haven't heard of "flow" pilots having any more problems or lack there of in training than any other Delta new hires.

Also, what are you referring to when you say the "number of commercial pilots who have departed controlled flight recently"?

I am not arguing with you, I just want to be in the know.

AF 447 & Colgan WRT departing controlled flight for sure.

Bar;
I think that sending your instructors out in an extra 300 is cool, but the Extra flies in unusual attitudes all the time and is made to do that, recover, re-enter, etc. all day long.

Some airliners are so pathetically aerodynamic - outside the normal envelope - they need strakes, and mods just to make them pass faa certification - forget fly upside down for a sortie.

I agree, as a minimum standard of private pilot certification, spins are very important...I dont know why they deleted them. How do you get out of a spin if all you have done is been briefed on it?

Crew Resources seems to have lots of discretion in establishing conversion dates. If you are implying that you anticipate being on the -9 until the bitter end they will simply convert you last, regardless of when the AE comes out. And, yes, you will be paid on the -9 until you convert.

I know this has been on here before, but can someone please tell me how to change Journey settings on the Ipad to get Icrew to work properly.

Are the bids out?

:D

Is it the same is the iphone? Put three fingers on the screen and spread them out and then chose Firefox or something?

Sorry, I want one of those fancy Ipads.... :o

mash three fingers on the screen and that will bring up the menu. tell it to emulate firefox instead of safari. enjoy!

Thank you very much. Works like a champ!

Ok. Someone tell me if this passes the sniff test regarding PS end of rotation DH. Skeds says they can't book you on a flight if it's oversold. Then what's the point of PS? Also, they said they can only book PS for you for the number of legs that you were initially scheduled to DH. Didn't have time to try to book it myself. Anyone in the know please elaborate.
