^Another perfect example of Horizon not caring about the big picture but rather nit picking the small stuff. If I followed the q4 fsm to the "T" I would be dead by now.

It's "please prepare the cabin for departure"! That's two points, mister!

All the check airmen I flew with were great, save for one. Yes SurferLucas, I as well have had the pleasure. The guy who one second is reading the FSM out loud to you, the next says "well... I know the book says to do this, but we do it like this on the line".

Embraer, No-Slack is still there...however, he's always been cool with me. He did my pro-check back in April (it was great, no points), he thought it was funny I had to do my pro-check a month before I was furloughed though.

The one I'm talking about is J.D., he was a nice guy and all, but just alittle anal.

There's a PDX Captain on the Q4 that's a really anal guy, came from the RJ...he decided that we should stop the taxi in Seattle so that he could make the FA say "Cabin Secure" instead of "We're all set, ready to go in the back"...
