Speaking of, who’s idea was it to fold the release into 1/8ths and shove it into a crevice where you can’t read 7/8ths of it?

There’s three types of CPZ people:
1. Place on the Pedestal
2. Hang it from the Ceiling
3. Jam it in a Crevice below the EICAS

I’ve yet to see anyone go WN style and put it on the yoke clip.

Most of our CAs upgrading now have been here 2 years which means they will be earning step 3 CA pay. I'm pretty sure most if not all the CAs on property now are already at step 3.

RD is a LCA so yes he is, but I don't like what the video was trying to foreshadow!

This is why I am firmly in the type 2 group. Also one of the unspoken benefits of being captain. Never have to instinctively look somewhere for the release only to not see it.

Thats because Compass pilots don't know how to use yoke clips (push up to release guys) and break them. Then the cancerous checklist folding begins.

Also, about the water bottles. They're Element Thermoses, thats why it's so expensive.

Before we switched to the LIDO dispatch releases all information was clearly visible folding it using the "jam it in a crevice" method.

Here's a question for you folks that hang it from the ceiling. Does this impede your ability to see traffic? Would you hang it there on a line check? (Serious question)

To answer your question: NO. This needs to be addressed. However, when the next vacancy bidding period opens (Mar 17th?) you will be able to see your current award in Ascension.

As an FO I just learned to write everything I needed to call out myself on my own paper. Usually it was the PDC that I had wedged, that way I didn't have to look in a different place with each CA.

Put it there next time you get in the airplane, folded right above the fuel numbers and below the MEL. All it blocked was the view of the paneling above the windows, I'll admit I can't see the center handle very well. If you use the STL sim it basically ends up in the same spot were the video screen is installed. I did it with a Fed on board and he didn't even mention it.

Other than the fuel numbers... What on the release do you need to see "at a glance" that can't be seen when it's folded under the EICAS? Aisle wenche's name in a if I forget whom I need to ask for a diet coke? Deferred items? The flight plan? Yeah none of that crap is time sensitive that I don't have time enough to just unfold the damn thing and look.

I hate hanging it up top. It's obnoxious and in the way.

I personally didn't think that the old release style had all the info I wanted in view when you "jammed it in a crevice" unless you wrote some extra info on it.

Hanging the release from the ceiling doesn't even come close to impeding my view of traffic. When I sit at the proper height (eyes level with the "level ball" indicators) all it ever blocks is my view of the gray panel above the windshield and occasionally the center handle depending on the length I fold it to. Definitely doesn't block even a square millimeter of my view out the windshield. Also done it on line checks and with a fed and had no complaints about it.
