not me... haha

Must've been that chili that I ate the other day.

Glad to see it was a false alarm. It has happened a couple times over the past few years. Never seen them evacuate because of it though. Might just be the media sensationalizing it, not that they've ever done that in the past.

Happy Flap Day!
 

The day that we've al been waiting for years has finally arrived!

Happy Flap Day Comair pilots!

We are actually losing more FO's that have been here less than 6 months than we are losing captains. I think the mix in Oct was about 26 FO's to 13 captains - something close to those numbers. I guess the upgrade times are a lot shorter at other carriers and we don't offer the bonus. I can't blame anyone for leaving for $5K when first year pay is $20K!

I know a TON of new hires from around my class that have left......probably around 10

In true Comair fashion a COLA for January is offered today and then a Vacancy bid for 28 CA spots with the total head count currently being 55 pilots less then the min value. Seems like the left and right hand are confused again or Januarys block hours are awful.

Yeah, so.... um.... how does that work again? So I put the flap selector to zero after landing and then back to 8/20 during taxi? I'm not sure if I understand from all the memos I got.

:p

That's it? Pff....

During the Taxi checklist, you'll actually set flaps to 20 instead of just habitually calling out "set 20 indicating 20".

...or should I say you'll actually set the flaps to 20, and when you call "FLAPS" from the Taxi checklist, the captain will dilligently need to look at both the indication and flap setting to make sure flaps are set to where they are supposed to be to make sure we didn't forget to change the flap setting on taxiout.

You forgot that the captain will also point to both the flap selector and to ED1 as well. ;)

geez, you comair guys and your crazy, anal flap procedures.....
