First TCAS and now this EFB thingy? We do not need any more electronical voodoo-wizardry in the slave ship. What's next? Quiet engines? Electric seats?
Wish they would bring back the 100's and 8 track tape. Guess they want our "crew performance" safety reports to equal those of the Scarebus.

Heard there's gonna be software pre-loaded on the laptops we're being issued. Will include 727 EFB and ACARS familiarization, with free Rosetta Stone German lessons thrown in for the guys bidding Cologne.

And to think a student with 15 hrs TT can do this in a C-152, but our FO's aren't good enough. Laughable.

When I was an MD-11 f/o (for many years), I always thought it was strange that as a former military, TYPE RATED F/O I wasn't "qualified" to shoot an approach to CAT I mins?
But ... like you said above, I was qualified to shoot a CAT I with 200 hrs in my C-152?

Reminds me of a quote I heard lately: "I used to be an MD11 Capt, but after 30 yrs of flying I've now been instructed that 15 kt x-winds are terrifying. I'm holding on too tight, Mav. Pass the cheese..."

Funny thing is amid all of the downgrades and 4.a.2.b, most of the less vocal elements our group have adjusted to the lower income meaning they've probably created a future generation of 'part of the problem' senior F/O's. JL yelled at everyone about it, I suppose O will tell us upgrading is the professional and ethical thing do.
