People on here really struggle with the concept of sarcasm.
Maybe RGS should have a T/F module on the intricacies of sarcastic thought for pilots. |
Sarcasm aside lots of pilots need a reality check.

Your skills have nothing to do with moving up, it's all just hanging around long enough.
Delta management just looks for the cheapest group to fly their RJ's (assuming the same level of safety, which can/may be argued), just as they shop around for better fuel prices. If they can have move control over the group, as they now do over Pinnacle the better for them. Very similar to the purchase of the refinery, it allows them to better control their costs because they are running the show. |

That's a flat out lie...your skills have not gone up flying a much more highly automated aircraft than the CRJ. The airbus takes the pilot out of the equation. The CRJ requires more input from the pilot. I have flown with pilots that came from the airbus to the CRJ and they struggled with even the simplest of tasks. So therefore your statements are incorrect.

So shyguy,
Since you are posting in the "regionals" forum, are you still a regional pilot (on the "super -RJ") or should we feel privelaged to be graced with your presence as you are "mentoring" us? |

It is a linear relationship. I went from flying a 50 seat RJ to a 149 seat Airbus, and my skills have gone up 3 times over. 50 seats x 3 = 150, so yes the linear relationship works. I am now 3 times better than I was when flying the RJ.

Okay, three times better... but three times zero is still zero.

Modern airplanes and navaid technology do not develop "seat of the pants" pilot skills. After pilot training (T-37 / T-38) and C-141 flying I was an excellent " by the book " pilot. It wasn't until I flew UC-123s cross controlled up and down mountain sides in Vietnam (spraying at 100 feet ) that I really learned to fly airplanes. FYI The Air Force Academy tracks graduate UPT/SUPT performance. The top performers are Cadet CFIGs from the academy soaring program. |
are we seriously debating this? looks like shy is getting the last laugh.
