His reward was a couple months off without pay and I don't remember the company having his back. I may have my facts off, but I thought there was a lot of frustration on SAPA's part as they were trying to help get both pilots back on the line and there was little support on the company side. This of course was back in the day when we had a President that wasn't afraid to call the company out and be vocal to the pilots of what was going on.

Who knows, maybe this loss of license thing that SAPA is focusing all the resources on may have helped the pilots in this case? /sarcasm


This was also at a time when CS would "coerce" someone who was calling in sick from an outstation, guilt-tripping people about cancelling or delaying the flight and refusing to provide transport home. The FAA slapped the company pretty hard about this, too, since it was on the tapes. Now, they only get to say "okay, we're taking you off the trip."

Won't need to move up. I'll just take the first upgrade next year and you'll get to fly with me when they TDY me to fly with you.

Won't be long. I'm ready. That's assuming I haven't been hired by a major.

Is it possible for you to be any more clueless than you already are? What distorted version of reality do you live in? Anyhow, you're on ignore. I can't waste any more neurotransmitters trying to process your blather. Good day to you.

Chair fly your profiles and know your flows. And tell your sim partner that I said hi.

+1 on the chair flying. Just study up, know your flows and profiles cold.

There's a burrito place a short walk from the hotel which isn't bad. Also the hotel has free food and drinks I think Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.

I commuted home between sim sections and didn't struggle or need extra sessions. If you know your stuff going into it just have fun and learn as much as you can.

Feel free to PM me with questions. Welcome!

Bring your car! life is much better if you do! i drove 12 hours just to have my car there during the 3 weeks and boy was it a hell of a lot better being able to go to more than subway and a burrito place.

For me (west coast) it was easier and probably cheaper to rent a car on break days.
