Sorry to say I didn't start this current thread drift. It was 2 LCAL guys (Skyflying and Andy) that brought up the SCAB talk. Read a couple of pages back.

I only got involved when Andy told us to be nice to SCABS for unity and he continued to blast LUAL actions during our Bankruptcy and our furlough. Now, you and Andy were glad-handing each other in another thread. Tell me how you came to your one sided conclusion here.

 

Andy is lual dude.

 

ok then, how does that make it different?

 

It is different because you were wrong when you said Andy was LCAL, you were wrong about Bens supposed Letter and you are wrong about most of what you drivel in here.

 

Thanks for trying!

Anyway, looks like you should get some guys below you in LA!

 

Appreciate that.

Just wanted to throw some facts into the discussion, and provided context for people to understand what "Good" and "Bad" flying is all about.

I'm excited about new hires getting LAX out of training. That's pretty cool. It's also neat to see that I could be 74% IAD 756 FO. Whoa....that happened fast.

Now if I could only figure out PBS! Watched the ALPA "Bidding Below the G Line" video. Hope it works. I'm super junior in LAX. Will find out Saturday morning.

In case any potential new hire has slogged through the bickering on this thread and wants to know, bids are awarded on 0001 on the 18th. I just don't know what 0001 it is. Eastern? Not sure, it's there in the morning when I wake up.

I'll end this with an invitation to share a Guppy study plan for any new hires with a break between BI and sim training. For any non-FMC military pilots.....holy cow, training is no joke. There is an expectation that you already know how to fly airliners.

 

You are not kidding about the 737 training in Houston.....worst training program I have ever taken. Largely had to train myself...emphasis is on hazing and harrassement rather than training. Hopefully that old-school "harrasment is good for you" culture will be replaced by a healthier one going forward.

 

Its the best training you can teach to yourself.

 

Whoa. It is an initial training course, but I experienced zero hazing or harassment. Some instructors better than others but can think of not one who wasn't helpful and knowledgeable. The CBT is main systems teaching method, and using the g flash cards for the system Eval test was weird but worked just fine. Nobody is going to teach you everything in a classroom first. And as a military type you are going to have to study a lot. Never approached any right of passage BS I heard about in 727 plumber training in several places. Show up with a good attitude, do the work, study, cooperate with your class, move on . Not that hard.

 

Totally missed my point....Hazing and harrassment are unprofessional...that is what I was talking about.
