And I've only been here a short time. How does a person who has such a responsible job think age has anything with how well a person does their job. As you go through life you will always work with people of all ages. GET USED TO IT. Learn from everyone you come in contact with. That's something from an old guy who's been flying 25 years. And no I'm not an expert I'm learning everyday from all the pilots I fly with. Even the young smart *** punks who think they are gods gift to aviation.
Not all of us take 45 min to set up the FMS. We're from the computer age, it takes on average 3-4 minutes to set up the entire FMS, review MELs/MEL procedures, and brief the FAs.

When CA's start standing up to the company and refuse these god awful hotels.

I watched a CA and his crew check into a hotel with no power without asking any questions, as I was trying to get my crew a new hotel for the night.

Controllable heating/AC - electricity, is a requirement of part 117 rest rules....

Was it a CRJ crew? I mean most those guys are already dead inside. They probably didn't even notice the difference.

The new flavor in MSP is the Ramada Inn, slightly better than the Plaza Hotel in MCI.

Dude what is up with this? Is our hotel committee responsible for letting this happen? MSP was one of the best hotels!

Pulling out their phone when taxiing ON TO THE RUNWAY is a whole different thing, though.

Uh ... yeah, duh! Music is for the passengers to enjoy and relax with. If you want to relax stay home by the pool, you have a serious job to do now buzzie. Time to grow up!
