Well, setting DDA using the autopilot to descend to the DDA but then prior to reaching 1000 AGL it calls for us to set missed approach altitude. That means if the pilots aren’t really well in front of the plane, the airplane will continue descending below DDA with nothing but proficiency/egpws or the ground to stop it.

When you hear “minimums” on an ILS and don’t see anything, there’s no ambiguity. You go missed. Not the case on a non-precision. The airplane is not always going to be where it needs to be as with an ILS. There are many variables that preclude that. Apples to oranges in my opinion as to how they are flown. On a canpa approach, the plane will descend to minimums at a geographic location in some cases at the runway or miles prior to it.

Okay cool. Did the LMS tell us that for all non FMS 4.2 equipped birds, the pilots will have to change all the approach altitudes to hard altitudes? If not, there’ll be no snowflake. I just don’t remember if it says to

Sop? So you think the new canpa sop that removes the safety of capturing the lowest altitude with the autopilot is a good sop that enhances safety? I mean lord forbid two new pilots get task-saturated during the most challenging type of approach and let the autopilot fly itself into EGPWS escape maneuvers.

Has any seat been offered 200% in January yet?
I know it's a month of below average flying but there are no green days for JFK CR9 CA.
Just wondering if they're now less inclined to go 200% under the new rates.

Currently the only 200% day between now and end of Jan for DTW 900 CA is Dec 25... 3 CDO's up for grabs that night in open time. January open time consists of 2 trips starting Jan 1, a day trip paying just 2 hours (non min day qualified) and a 4 day that credits about 17 hours. Vast majority of lines were showing credit under 70 hours so I'm betting most won't be easily breaking 75 for the month unless we get some big snow storm events.
