Use professional standards, your dues are paying for it, and it's a way of having pilots police their own group rather than involving management.

In the very short time that I was in Mgmt. as an assisstant to the assistant (gopher), management prefers to refer these things to pro stds., because it usually has better results. When it comes to instituing a change, peer pressure is usually a much better force than a manager that usually has his/her name on the bathroom wall.

I can't remember the last time I actually climbed at one of our two profiles. 290KIAS above 10k in a full 145 would basically mean I'm level.

Try doing 300 in a full 145. You can do it all the way up to the twenties with 1000fpm if you do it right. I do it that way every time.

BTW, there is only one CHQ profile. There are two EMB profiles.

Why is it bad to report to the Chief Pilot. Its still being handled by "pilots" Its not like he went to management like the VP for Ops or standards. I am not an airline pilot so please educate me on this one.

The Chief Pilot IS management!!

Most airline pilot groups have a 'Professional Standards' function. If someone feels that communication directly with the CA is inappropriate or unproductive, then seek out these folks. They are line pilots not connected to management and often can handle issues like this without making a mess of it.

I think saying "lets get a beer" is so faux pas in the world of airline interviews that if I was the interviewer I would think the applicant must be very cocky to think he can get away with saying something like that. There's being yourself, and then there's crossing the line, you may swear like a sailor when your out with your buddies but that doesn't mean you do it in an interview. As for the chief pilot answer, not the best answer in my opinion, but acceptable for someone who may not have had any CRM training.

Eh...I don't quite know about that. In the Airline Interviews, there are ::usually:: Line-Pilots (Captains for the most part) that help conduct them. Unlike an office Job where the interviewer would have to work with a candidate for 8 hours a day, here the Interviewer all but lives with them for up to 4 or 5 days at a time. The "lets go get a beer" is a fantastic ice-breaker IMHO. Sounds like a guy I'd like to fly with.

BUT...I think he still was pushing the limit w/the run to the CP thing and all.

He was asked if a captain was not using proper SOP, what would you do as a new FO? He immediately responded report him to the chief pilot.

Then the interviewer said, now I am that pilot, what are you going to say to me or how will you act around me. His reponse "Want to go have a beer?"

Call me crazy but there are a several things I would do prior to reporting him to the chief pilot because there are too many variables.

But then the repsonse with the beer? if in the interviewers shoes, would you hire this guy?

he said it got some laughs and wnet over well, but I can not imagine that

+He got hired and is happily flying now at GOJETS, right along with all the other back stabbing slime that is there!:eek:
