That was uncalled for. You could have left it at the first sentence (and been informational) but you had to get you biased, opinionated crap in as well, didn't ya.

Sorry if the truth upsets you princess, let's get back to talking about real stuff, like UPS flow right?

Ipad
 
Anyone here from AMF use an iPad while flying? If so, which iPad and app are you using, and what adapter are you using to secure it.

You went on a little rant about "lies" a few weeks ago, now time for you to own up to it. Enough with the name calling as well. The personal attacks don't advance your agenda, just makes you look like a jerk as usual.

They're not approved yet. There is a plan to start using them, but the exemption that allows them is changing, so the plans are on hold. If a pilot is using an Ipad, it is without approval. On the other hand, I haven't seen any kind of enforcement of the issue FWIW.

If the aircraft dispatches with the autopilot inop, then the regulations require the second pilot, and that particular SIC time would be loggable for all purposes, including qualifying for the ATP.

The autopilots are deferrable for single pilot cargo operations, no SIC required with the exception of Canadian operations. Jetlife has no insider information, only outdated and second hand info. He left a now extinct base years ago. The company was sold and management has virtually flipped. Funny thing is, the guy I thought he was really mad at left earlier this year.

Have any AMF pilots here jumpseated with Jetblue?

Twice now I've heard from guys that we can. Officially, we don't have a reciprocal though. So i'm torn if I want to try for it.

You can sell anything you want online, the lack of people coming in the door, and the flood of those leaving should speak volumes. But you're right, I have no insider information lol. All the airplanes are expertly and professionally maintained to the highest caliper humanly possible. They aren't clapped out hunks of bolts. For somebody that works for AMF you really live in a bubble, which isn't a shock as you are 1 of only 6 happily employed management types out of the thousands that have gone through the doors there.

Not mangement, you are on a roll when it comes to false assumptions. The part where you assumed AMF is on the verge of bankruptcy deserves a reality check.

That's BS. It isn't struck work. Bring a B767 or other large airplane on property and fly a trip that was being flown by ABX Air, that's truck work. Carrying DHL cargo on a Metro isn't.
