This is the most Frontier thing ever! We are all hoping to hear an airplane order announced at the Paris Air Show to counter the mathematical certainty that there will be future stagnation/shrinkage without more orders. But instead we are looking at losing 15 airframes tomorrow. And just like that, our staffing issues are solved.

You must’ve missed his post where he talked about all the FTD time ERAU provides its graduates. He’s the real deal, these RJ guys don’t have a clue. /s

Whoa momma. That's above my knowledge/paygrade.

But, I hope we are in the right with this and it goes in our favor. :eek:

That's very disconcerting.

I just went and read the court filing and let's just say that the complaint paints F9 management in the same light that ALPA would during negotiations. It looks like they scheduled a mediation session on June 28th.

How dare anyone doubt this guy’s experience, he was on the ERAU Short Field Landing Demo Team. Those idiot CRJ operators out of DCA lack real world experience.

If thats the case then why are airlines looking to them to solve the pilot shortage? ER grads come out with more experience than a 1-2 year RJ guy. The education is second to none. That’s why they’re flowing from college to bigger airlines.

Are you implying that operating CRJ FTD’s in simulated 121 operational scenarios equates to “more experience” than someone flying actual CRJs in actual 121 operations?

not more experience but a different level. Focused more around abnormal situations. A FO may have more experience with successful engine starts, and pushbacks and such. But other than that most everything else can be replicated identically in a FTD. Minus full motion.

I was going to stay out of this because even though you are wrong, I felt like everyone was starting to gang up on you. I don’t know who has put all that in your head but man…do yourself a favor and even if you truly believe everything you are saying keep it to yourself when you are out on the line. Humble down a bit or life will hand you a dosis of humility when you least expect it.

LOL. You’re hilarious. Keep up the good trolling, it’s funny watching guys argue with you.

I agree, as pilots we let egos get in the way a lot of times. But there is also nothing wrong with keeping an open mind. Experience comes in every way shape and form. Sometimes from the most unexpected people. I will always help out and make it a point to teach something if I see an opportunity.
