I've been here long enough to be based on two different types, based in two different MX bases, and have flown the line at this place for over 3 years. I worked all over the industry as a pilot before coming here as well. That's long enough to see the warts, and more importantly it has given me the perspective to know what is worth getting uptight about.
As far as the post count, uh... You do realize I've been registered on this forum quite a bit longer than you have right?
Continue being negative, it's really not my problem. But I'm telling you it's not worth it. Change your situation, your job, your career, etc. I've been there myself, and it was horrible. I'm very thankful I was able to change my situation.
I sincerely hope you find improvement in your life - and I guarantee you the occasional MEL won't ruin your day ever again.

Stating that it's not right for dispatch to expect anyone to fly a 200 with 1 pack or no APU(on extremely hot days) is not negativity, it's caring about the passengers in the back. I refuse to endanger their health and well being. The 200's are already too hot in 90+ degree weather with everything working correctly. If you feel like letting passengers suffer heat stroke, go right ahead.

Hint: on your technical, you may be asked how you can determine if you have 2000 RVR or 2500 RVR...and when you know the distances from the threshold of the various distance markings on a precision runway, that question becomes a whole lot easier.

Draw everything: runway markings, lighting, etc, including things like how the edge lights and centerline lights change color as the runway end draws nearer.

Skywest has always been a "flight instructor" airline, having a CFI is really a minimum requirement to be hired. They only hire freight dogs et al under extreme duress.

Actually they didn't ask about RVR, they asked about inflight visibility. Sorry, typing too fast.
