You're not the only one wondering that. Soon I'm going to have to deal with KG.

That's OK because the airplane will probably not move because it'll be written up...

Once ya'll have ASAP up and running, you FOs might wanna self-disclose after every flight with KG, just to make sure...you never know when he's gonna rat you out!

4 more people interviewed today and it looks like 3 went to the sim. You guys make flying with KG sound ever so glamerous.

Even I know who KG is, and I was only there for a very short time. Never had the pleasure of flying with the fellow.

You shouldn't have to deal with him in the RJ. You'll hear plenty of stories, though. He basically killed a CA's career by going to the feds over something that was 100% not the guy's fault (rampers gave him faulty W&B info) without ever telling the CA or the company until after the fact. The feds came down hard on the company as well and one result is the W&B verification procedure you'll learn in training. Sign up for the union online BB when you can, KG is active on there and you'll be absolutely amazed by the inanity of some of his posts. He always gets called out on it too but never quite catches on!

That is straight up BS. The newhire class on OCT 31 is showing 12 in the
Q400. The CRJ instructor said there is a class of 5 Rj in DEC. If anyone cares.

They originally planned for 7 in the OCT 31 class but their staffing needs have changed drastically. They now need to hire 70 pilots from now until spring in all aircraft including the 200.
