I've expected to get more folks underneath me in Oct/Nov as people finished IOE but they seem to bid out to other bases quickly. I live in base and bid reserve for preferred days off (managed to get Thanksgiving off), although the holidays seem to be a bit screwy as normal line holders bid reserve to get the days they want off.

As an incoming CRJ FO, how fast does ORD seniority move? Looking to get based there at least for a year before looking back out West.

Thanks. The last 32 years have been nothing but thinking about Airplanes, Helicopters etc. I welcome your suggestion.

Default Looking for a mentor

Hey all,

I got my 1500. Have been instructing for the last 2.5. This is a mid life career change for me. I am hoping for the Ejet and Denver or SLC. Application is in, interview coming soon.

Anybody want to mentor a hopeful newbie?

Thanks!

https://www.aviationinterviews.com/ for interview prep.

I left over a month ago, but not too much should have changed. Denver and Chicago should be the most junior on the 175.

Hey guys, what does everyone use for logging flight time? I want to find something that can import everything from SkedPlus without me having to edit it after. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

I use PilotLog, they will support a single click to SkedPlus and downloads all the flights, if you all you care for is OUT and IN times, then you only need to sync once a day and you will have correct times. If you are interested in more information you are able to log as you go.
I like to log quite a bit of information, so what i usually do is, to Sync the morning of, just so that i get the correct tail number. Then i will edit the flight with the actuall OOOI times, takeoff and landing runways, I have it set to alternate PF/PM, which logs Instrument and XC time. The night time is calculated based on almenac. So all you need to manually do is to log, IMC time. Other than that, i like to log how many pax and cargo i carry.
Usually it will take under 30 seconds to get all this information in after the flight.

Another cool feature is the fact that you are able to have 2 separate logbooks, 121 and 91 rest rules, or in my case FAA and EASA rules. The logbook has both airlineapps, pilot credentials and 8710 reports. And you are able to select the logbook format that it will print the logbook in.

Will the ERJ ever be in DTW?

How long to upgrade to captain being based in DTW?
