:eek:
Unbelievable!
Why is it that you guys without FADEC are allowed to start engines, but we're not even allowed to turn the knob on the 145?
I'm going back to TSA.

true dat! the other day we were pushing out and the captain was like " go ahead and spin two!" i was like "sweet" and then after the engine started I was like 2 4 6 and a half, good lubricationS!!!! good vibrations!!! Just Like riding a bike! I hadnt started an engine in 3 months, can't believe I remembered how to do it! I almost cramped that muscle in my forearm from not moving that bell guard in a while!

over at Shuttle us FOs do it. the captains are too busy filling out their app for the majors
