I fear I know who this is....possibly the same CA who freaked when all of the bags were loaded in Cargo Compartment 1, and went and asked passengers to move to the back of the plane in order to "balance the airplane out." She had a true fear that the airplane would "lose control" if it were too front heavy. Of course, the MCDU checked out fine on the loading and didnt require any movement. She ended up calling the CP, refusing to fly any planes that have the bags loaded in CP1.
I mean, this is wrong on a million different areas, as everyone on here knows.

Usually because they tend to "behave" during PCs and line checks. Without LOFT scenarios as in AQP it's tough to put them in judgement situations like this, but sorely needed given our growth rate. 2.5 year upgrades are great but tend to bring out these types with greater frequency. Put a Pro Standard guy's number in your phone and don't be afraid to use it...it may keep us out of the dirt.

Tired of hearing about 2.5 year upgrades being some sort of liability. Most spirit pilots have years of 121 experience and many of them have thousands of hours of PIC time. Out pilots actually have the advantage of getting 2.5 years of time in type before upgrade whereas many airlines fos upgrade into a new type with zero time.

Agreed. Also we need to stop spreading the 2.5 year upgrade talk, that is ending. Anyone hired in the last 12 months won't see a 2.5 year upgrade. For guys getting on now they are looking at 5-6 years unless we see some attrition or a somehow take additional airplanes prior to 2021.
