We have had a net gain of 20 Q drivers and 20 jet drivers since I got hired a few months ago; we are catching up, just slowly. We are maxing out the slots for ground school, but not everyone is passing, and that is a good thing because standards are still being upheld.

I have a felling that the pain we are experiencing will be felt by other regionals soon, due to upward movement.

Except some of those carriers are offering $20-30k bonuses

Erj 175 flight director

What the hell is this thing? I have only used a chevron style single cue flt director in the past. I'm not to sure what I'm looking at here on the 175 or how to use it.

It's different, but I actually prefer it now.

THAT is depressing! Not only are we doing well under half of the shuttle flights per day, we're STILL canceling some of them.

Flight path symbol. The cross pointer prior to vnav capture (or flch) on takeoff is light years better in my opinion, as flight path is the result pitch and power combinations. But the philosophy is aligned with "flight path management", a Threat and Error component. I think prioritizing the flight path visually serves to reinforce the primacy of flight path awareness over attitude. It is slow to react unlike attitude, and I look forward to going to a boeing product someday.

Jesus, don't be dramatic. You must be one of those guys that loses their cool when the single chime goes off.

Upgrade classes skip a month sometimes for many different reasons. This time it was due to a shortage of check airman to fly with upgrades. The whole place ain't burning to the ground, so don't freak out.
