Not necessarily bad things, I'd be more than willing to do it, but just curious as to what it will be like for the next however many years of my career
We can do a computer reset too without having to return to the gate. You just take that pen and write that you did a reset in the logbook.

Ops takes care of giving us our paperwork...No need to run to the Crew room. They will even bring us ice to the airplane too if we need it. So no need sending your F/O to 7/11.

W/b are done on our ACARS

Please don’t take this personally but it sounds like Spirit is more ahead of the game with our old “pen and paper” than with your last employer.

That sounds great, that's why I asked the question, and no I don't take it personally. Thanks for the info

Even if the ACARS is inop, W&B is done by dispatch over the phone. All you're doing is jotting down numbers that they've calculated for you.

It’s the place that they will make unavailable to pilots, then you would ***** about it being contractual. Not that they would, just saying.

It would be nice to find some rooms inside the actual terminal (post security).

I haven’t been to all, but a lot are outside by the ticket counters. MCO is a PITA.

The answer is Pilot Only crew rooms. This mixed stuff is silly. Even at Comair we had pilot only Crew rooms. Somewhere along the way we got Cabin Crew and Flight Crew mixed up.

I wouldn’t worry about write ups, amendments, maintenance or any of that stuff till you get the 4th stripe. Until, your job is to find said problems, prest to captain, then sit back and relax until they work it out. I’d say you have at least 3 years until you need to worry about how it gets done. My .02

I think our write up system is pretty streamlined. It’s much easier than some of the other carriers that operate our aircraft. Same with our performance numbers. It’s very easy to a mend a situation that changes and get on the runway and takeoff. I was on American the other day and it took them 20 minutes to get their numbers. It was ridiculous
