That's hardcore. If that's the case how it's specifically addressed in your FOM, I would say show at scheduled show time and take the delay. Easier said than done; I know there's serious pressure and nobody wants to be the guy sticking their neck out.
What a silly little game.
What a silly little game.
Because it's considered safe to fly the remainder of a three or four day pairing with expired charts.
Because it's considered safe to fly the jet with an expired data base. I was given a jet in FLL around 11am with a data base that had expired at 0900Z. Maintenance dmi'd the data base so I could do a turn and the CP concurred.
Yet it is considered unsafe to get my revisions, update the ones that effect my flight and do the rest later. No instead I can't check in for my LGA turn until I post the latest 10-9 page for Bogota. That doesn't pass the laugh test.
Sometimes the only way to change a bad policy is to rigorously enforce it. I will show up on time and post my revisions and then check in. You do what you will.

No kidding. Flew 619 the other night, spent the entire flight with the sun shades up. I imagine a can of black spay paint on the inboard side of the lens would fix the issue.

Yes, but that is not the issue, all of the newer ones have LED's, the issue on the sharklet aircraft is the strobe wraps around to the inside of the wing, so you get a continuous white flashing on your glare shield right at eye level. Really enjoyable. Why they did that I don't know.

Thanks! Nope, I don't have any internal recs. I spoke with the gentleman at the job fair for what felt like only about 90 seconds, but one thing that seemed to grab his attention was that I live in a Spirit base, and he asked me how far from the airport I live and I told him 35 mins. Not sure if this was small talk or if perhaps they are looking for locals?
