lol, okay dude.

"We're in a stalling situation"

Delta pilot: "Did you run the QRH and check for light chop?"

I understand that it wasn’t meant that way, but that’s often the way it is received.
They shouldn't receive it that way because I did not say that. Your quote of me did not say that. I know the Republic Captains
have thousands on type before upgrade. The guy on the radio was obviously a recent regional guy if he thought he remembered enough of the 175 to help, this wasnt a 64 year old 350 captain with no 175 time talking down to the crew. If I'm having the most challenging flight of my life, struggling to control the plane, please speak up if you think you can help. The internet will be mad at you, but I won't

I see the point you're trying to make, but when you're fighting to maintain control of an otherwise not very controllable aircraft, running the QRH while trying not to stall and become a crater isn't always immediately practical. Fly the airplane first...

Asking if they ran the QRH is like asking someone if they use the toilet to take a crap. Completely unnecessary and obvious. Let them fly the airplane, how is that hard to understand? Stop talking!

Not "thousands" on type before upgrade. Not anymore, not since 2018. At least a thousand, but some don't break 2,000 at upgrade now. We just need 1,000 of part 121 to upgrade at a Part 121 airline.

But I would bet $1 that the majority of the pilots at Republic have less experience and haven't seen as much as all the pilots at JetBlue, Spirit or Frontier (I will not even mention Southwest or the big 3), no?

Overall, hiring a majority of pilots coming out of flight school instructing would tend to give you a majority of less experience pilots on property than the majors. it's the nature of the beast at the Regionals to hire folks at 1,500 (and less nowadays with all kind of exemptions) and to have pilots leave after a short 3-5 years stunt to go make a better living with a better quality of life at the majors.

3 posts total with this account. 1st post acting like you’re a Republic Pilot, then this post....

You sound very suspicious... Are you a reporter? You aren’t anyone I’ve ever flown with that’s for sure.

Dear Sonny,

I’m calling you out. It’s clear you are not one of us! Who are you?

Apart from reacting like a child trying to find out who I am, or not, why don't you act with maturity, debate and counter my points.

Flying with me? With about 1,930 pilots bidding in November, do you really think you would have flown with every pilot in the opposite seat?! Did you actually really wrote that?

You sound like somebody pretending to be a ship Captain telling all of his supposed peers how a ship floats on water.
