They are qualified just like line people to jumpseat, etc. And they give check rides in sim and a/c.

Default FQSs

They don't have union cards. If you want to find out who the true ups pilots are on the jumpseat, ask for the IPA card. If nothing else, you would embarass these 90 day wonders...ask them how many hundreds of hours they have in type...LOL

Zoso -

Funny, Man. Here is a link to an old thread where Salty is poking holes in all of Afl's contradictory background claims. Pages 11 and 12 are entertaining. Afl has put out so many false statements that he doesn't even know which way is up any more.

Yes. However, business isn't everything. When an airline (or any other safety intensive operation) routinely operates on as little as possible or just what they can get away with, it's a recipe for accidents.

Just ask them how long it took them to upgrade. If it doesn't seem right they probably are FQS.

The easiest way is to look at their UPS Airline ID card. It will have a letter "M" on it (for manager)

Ask them if it stands for "Moron"
