Agree with 49er, at EY we are constantly "reminded" to fly CDA by the company but in some of the high density areas you just got to get down. I brief to use the three times height plus ten to distance formula because if you use the FMS profile for the STAR you will get high and fast on profile. I preferred to be pilot monitoring in to the US as some of our f/o's are not up to speed dealing with US ATC but now we are required to do the leg into JFK, IAD and ORD hence some of the difficulties with the PM on the radio.

personally I can't wait to get back to a properly-run insane asylum
I miss ORD ATL LAX
I'll be laughing to myself as the other three boys see the TCAS of ORD plus MDW underneath.....and the CCI page should be fantastic
Now the real question is.......is the penalty box big enough for a 777???

Hey Whack
They are notes written by pilots, for pilots. With all the destinations and places we fly, we have a few pages with every airport that describe different threats. It could be people or dogs on the runway, English is poor, or be prepared for this arrival for this runway. Especially if you have never been to a destination, or it has been six months and need a refresher. It does capture threats, and helps to become familiar with certain areas.
Southwest is a good place to be. Always wanted to go, but I enjoy this type of flying, which I never expected in my wildest dreams. Cheers.

I prefer to be the PF into JFK as some of our CA's are not up to speed with handling JFK.
Speeds, altitudes, descents??? Really? Why do people TRY and make this job hard?!!! Do it, ask for something different, or tell them unable.
If the hotel is at the airport, they have a train that will take you all over town cheaply and easily.
