Yes it includes language. Why do you think it's called professional standards.

Looking forward to being cautiously optimistic with your prediction.

I'm with you, believe it when you see it. But it sounds like there are positive changes coming.

Why, in this era, does SkyWest insist on 500 FW hours? Everyone else wants 250 FW PC.

If we had aggressive pickup we would probably have to give up rules on breaking guarantee to get it. I'd be willing to do that.

Every single Skywest CA in our domicile, who frequents these forums, knows exactly who CCB is. The instant I mention APC, CCB's name comes up. I've heard some entertaining (in a train-wreck, pitiful sort of way) stories about the real CCB. None of which I will repeat here, since they are just rumors, after all.

Seriously though CCB, if you detest your job as much as you appear to, and if half the stories I've heard about you (some of them from very senior captains who you swung gear for back in the day), then you owe it to yourself, and to those who fly with you, to seek other employment.

Reserve proffering has been a 'hot item' that's 'just around the corner' on SAPA's list since...hmmm....

Oh yes, 2008.

This is a really silly question. I don't think 500 hours is much to ask before hauling 50 to 80 people around. You mean a company that wants to hire me to fly airplanes wants me to have a decent amount of experience flying...........airplanes? How rude. SMH

Uh, because of 2000-hour helicopter pilots who think their time is worth something, but can't fly a single-engine ILS in a sim without rolling it on short final and crashing. True story.

What you most likely saw was a fluke... I've flown with more helicopter pilots than I can count and their stick and rudder skills are usually phenomenal. I take it you don't have any RW hours do you?
