I feel like this low SIC topic is getting out of hand... Shouldn't we support our own pilot group? Help encourage one another and give advice? While some may not be "ready", experience will come. We're talking about careers here not John smith the hot shot at the local airport, help each other out.

But then what will we complain about? The upgraded to fast is definitely a new one. To each their own.

Are you a CA Mr. Doe? Or a bitter FO who likes to complain about the CA's he flies with? You seem to think you have the whole left seat figured out, so I imagine you're a seasoned CA here.

Never said I had anything figured out. Just said some people aren't prepared for what they're going to have to deal with. Nothing more, nothing less.

TillerEnvy

Fair enough. Regardless of the time, there's still a learning curve to being a new CA that IOE will not fix in 25 hours. Every CA; myself included; had a ton of learning to do once we were set free. That doesn't make one a bad CA. Now, that being said, I've flown in the past with some people whom I think are absolutely terrible CA's. Those are the guys who micro manage, won't take advice from their FO's and make it clear that it's their way or no way.

JohnDoe

I completely agree with you, it didn't take me long at all to upgrade, and I definitely had a learning curve. I've flown with those same captains and I try to not be like them. The only way for the FO's to learn is to get themselves out of whatever they got themselves in to.

Off topic.

So anyone with Logbook Pro know if/how you can import your schedule directly from crewtrac?

GrassLandings

From crewtrac? I have no idea. I almost never use crewtrac.

The app called roster buster, (also will import to google and apple calendar) will sync your flica with logten pro. I primarily use Flight Crew View for daily schedule viewing, but havent tried importing from it. Not sure if FCV will do that.

Yeah I don't know about crewtrac either, but I do know you can do it from flica. Of course it being logbook pro there is an additional monthly fee associated with that service.

It's kind of a pain, but this is how I do it.

Copy and paste your Flight Log Report into notepad (as many months at a time as you like). Save it as .txt and open it in Excel.

When prompted, choose "Delimited," and on the next page make sure "Space" and "Tab" are both selected. On the next page, choose which columns not to import (I omit flight number, employee number, and seat position).

Next I go through and change all the aircraft numbers to NxxxCZ/NN style format (Find and replace works well here). I also change E75 to E175 but that's up to you.

Save the file as a .csv (comma separated values) and open it with the import wizard in Logbook Pro. Here make sure to tell it to use HH:MM for the time format, and then on the subsequent pages you can choose what columns to import and how, based on how your logbook is set up.

Hope this helps. Takes about 10 minutes, whether you do it once a month or once a year
