Holly Shot! I think you're right!

I'll admit it. I haven't spent much time reading the urban dictionary. But, that may change. To be continued....
+1. Its just good entertainment. Though I have to admit I can't figure it all out..

You're absolutely right. I'm just saying there's nothing wrong with posting while drunk. No shame in it.

I've told him many times I'd enjoy going out for a few beers on a long layover.

skeebo2, peace brother!

Those trips are part 91. They are never going to line crews, as they are maintenance ferry flights operated solely within the flight test department. The airplanes are not maintained for ETOPS and as such, cannot operate 121. She operated many flights as part of flight test. I'm sure you could stop back in flight test and discuss it. You may even be able to volunteer for a route check. I saw one leaving on 12/24 last time I stuck my head in that office.

BTW, the FAA doesn't require a dual seat qual. If you have a type rating in an airplane, you are checked out in both seats. Furthermore, all of our FOs now have an unrestricted type rating. Only FedEx requires a dual seat qual.

deny: cronyism, nepotism and favoritism, special deals for insiders. Especially if you wear a kilt.
We all know some animals on the farm are more equal than others.

Don't need a route check I have more time in the flare than you do total. Flown the nats across the pond and to the pacific numerous times. I could probably show the check air man a thing or two.

Well just step right up become a Flt Test guy, standards, LCA or Flex get your over water route check and knock yourself out. Yes, A300 guys need a over water route check before flying one of these since the A300 community is not trained to do them. You know guys complain about picking up planes out of MX in Mobile, New Iberia and Arcadia and some have refused to a contingency W&B saying they were not trained to do it. Guys also complain about having to a International CQ event also so I guess you cannot win.

I really would not expect anything less from a guy who talks about someone simply because who her dad is. For the record I flew with her when she was pregnant and she never menchoned who her dad was and was a good pilot and person to fly with.

If you'd learn to put it down it the touchdown zone, you could probably fix that issue.
