First is your moniker, RJDio or RJGod. UAL flys big jets, not RJs. They contract out that flying to others.
Second is the question shows a huge lack of common knowledge about the office at UAL.
Third your question indicates you aren't in the know group and if you are a UAL pilot the CCS page links to a page with all the data and requirements for the position.
PS. We officially changed the name "base" and did away with "domicile" in the merger.
Finally these are not private blogs and anyone can post their opinion about what it means to be an airline pilot.

Yes I'm skeptical of bloggers.

Also there's been a subtle change in the office. As someone pointed out Flight Managers these days are normally F/Os and the Assistant Chief Pilots are Captains. But I will say I've gotten better service and help from the Flight Managers when I have a problem or question than the ACPs.

 

You don't rock, and I suspect you never will.

 

Thank you! How one get's so tightly wound up like that is beyond me...

 

I can see reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. If you read my original post I wasn't asking what the requirements are to be a flight manager. I can/did look those up.
I'm an FO/copilot (I'll use both since you seem sensitive to my diction) and asked about life as a flight manager not an acp. Yes I know we fly big jets and outsource little jets. I'm not sure if you're proud of that or not but that's a debate for another day.

Anyhow thanks for your contributions. I'll get off your lawn now.

 

Saw him in '85 at Reunion Arena. Sacred Heart tour. INCREDIBLE. Ears were ringing for days.

 

RJDio

darn you for going on a pilot forum and asking for some info. just darn you !!

if you follow about a dozen of the regulars on here you'll see that reading is not their strong suit. or logical thought.

i always think these dozen or so are all like those pilots you fly with and just roll your eyes as they talk and later avoid on the layover. you know the type

oddly (maybe not) they are overrepresented on online forums

 

Awesome! I saw him with Ritchie Blackmore in the late 70's. My ears are still ringing but I'll keep blaming it on jet engines. Those dudes rock!

You guys don't mind if I hijack this thread and turn it into a discussion about Spinal Tap though? Here's RJDio doing his best Nigel Tuffnel impression:

Or is it the other way 'round?

 

Good show! Love me some Spinal Tap

 

That's awesome. I was lucky enough to catch him in his later years a few times with sabbath. Most singers later in life have a hard time hitting those high notes and have to drop the songs a key or so. It usually ends up sounding not quite right. In Dio/Sabbath's case, it just made them sound heavier. Luckily my ears never rang after a heaven and hell show. It was only after the Motörhead shows that would happen

Speaking of spinal tap, we (my new hire class) had our spinal tap moment at TK. One evening we got lost and we're aimlessly walking around up and down stairs, down hallways, trying to find an exit.

 

Some guys are a bit predictable. I didn't think I asked a polarizing question. But I guess anything can be perceived as a micro aggression. Luckily 95% if the guys I've flown with have been pretty cool.
