Mv/loe
Does anyone have a study guide for RECURRENT MV/LOE in the 50? I have mine coming up soon and am looking for a little help.

Anybody heard the current things they are hitting during it as well?
I am sure they are going to be doing some Flap Alternate stuff, any details or help in general would be appreciated.

Feel free to PM me.

Well, when you get used to flying an airplane and get into a rythym that has been going on for 14 years, then change that, it's quite an advjustment in procedures and flows.

[quote=dbo861;270204][quote=CRJDriver;270175]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.

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.
Yeah... I guess I should have thrown a sarcasm tag on my post...

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!



Just to give you some more attrition numbers based on the Bid packets

Oct CA - 10
Oct FO - 10

Nov CA - 12
Nov FO - 7

Dec CA - 18
Dec FO - 21

Cola
So if one where to be awarded a COLA for all or part of the month of January, do the travel/non-rev benefits remain in tact?

Yes, you keep everything from what I understand. I think it's basically time off....Kinda like being on reserve in JFK, just no pay

The MV/LOE are really just a training day and then a chekride. The MV is going to be all your manuevers. I did mine back in October and it was straight forward. They look at ASAP reports and determine what needs to be drilled into your head. For mine, everything was out of JFK. Takeoff, CRI climb, back around for a coupled ILS. Then V1 cut run the checklist couple single engine ILS, reposition on final hand flown single engine ILS. Then a couple VOR using CANPA with a missed. Back around, land, evacuate. Remember, that is a training event. Next day is the LOE. It is supposed to be a normal flight like we would do any day. Oral is basic stuff. More than likley the FO will fly because they want to load the captain up with the QRH. They have a few scenerios they can use. They involve engine fires you cant put out, electrical failures and the easy stuff. Just fly the airplane. good luck

Do they do the CANPA to the VOR 13L/R at JFK? That one I'm not sure how not to do a dive and drive. You have Asalt at 3000..Mandatory, then CRI at 1500. Now you have a DDA of 800 or 850 I think but you have a
descending right turn. So do you compute the 1500 to 800 in the number of miles or do you use the 20' airport elevation???
