If it allows you just take it again. If not, email pilot credentials and im sure they will fix it. Good luck.

You make a good point. I think those that have 1000+ PIC turbine with multiple internal recs along with 4 year degree and a clean record will be the first to get an interview... This is just speculation...
Obviously if you have all of the above + 737 or A320 time this is just an added bonus and you are looking really good!!! Best of luck to all.

With regard to the flight time grid, are you all putting in decimals or just rounding? It seems like airlineapps asks us to round up or down.

edit: Nevermind. Just realized it's rounding for me.

The fly-by-wire buses are very different from the old A300. The senior boys who have been flying the dinosaurs with round dials are gonna hate the airplane ( at least until they can figure it out). It wouldn't hurt to have an experienced bus FO help until they can get their footing.

All this contemplation about guys with bus experience coming in to save the day because we are "unused to the 320"... We've got 12,000 hour FO's and 18,000 hour CA's transitioning into the jet, with decades of service under their belts in everything from DC-9's and 727's to MD-11's and 777's.

I think we can man our own bus fleet successfully. It's similar to the days when the first true FMC jets arrived and 727 guys transitioned. With rare exception, it went fine.

If you have A320 time, it indicates you have 121 experience, not that it gives you a leg up. Just MO.

Couldn't have said it any better.

*on a side note, doesn't Airbus design aircraft as to minimize pilot input, meaning automatic? This airplane is flown around the world by low time pilots with captains who don't have an abundance of experience. It is still an airplane, much happens behind the scene unlike more mechanical airplanes but the majority of the systems operate on the same basic principle. Just like when one transitions from one airplane to the other, the physics behind the systems are put together different to achieve the same outcome.

I have only flown two transport category aircraft but I do a lot of research and expanding on my knowledge. So some guys with multiple type ratings might say otherwise but I would have to go on a limb and say all the subsonic guys will agree.

How does a pack operate?

Hot air goes in and cold air comes out!

How that is accomplished might differ from aircraft to aircraft but that's more of a maintenance function and my ability to troubleshoot from the cockpit in flight is limited if not restricted by ops specs.

Sliceback

I would say that the transition from the 727 to the FMC generation was a bigger step than any transition from FMC a/c to FMC a/c.

Is anyone getting any indication (e.g. emails) when an internal rec is done for you on the AA website? I'm not...but not certain if I am supposed to.

Look under your references!

? It has autopilots and autothrust comparable to the level of automation in a Boeing. But it also has auto trim when hand-flying so maybe that's what you meant?
