350 pilots when they go in any other Delta cockpit.

Truth. Vastly underrated movie by the way.

Come on in Tropical. the water's great.

Not a chance. You and the other CC'ers ruined it for me. I can't imagine anything worse. I'll stay senior on the lil' ol' 320, thanks.

Your choice. Enjoy.

ESV on day one is open book, so bring it then. You are welcome to carry it to the sim, but you will not take it out of your bag in the sim. The A350 sim is an iPad free zone. Your OE may also be an iPad free cockpit depending on your LCA.

Oh ok I missed the 350 part of it.

I heard the 350 is going 100% neural data link - all thought driven. No talking at all but to paraphrase a old aviation movie - you have to think in French. :D

Name the movie.

So what is this, some sort of hazing exercise? Some weird flex of 350 pilots/instructors/LCPs making sure everyone knows they're the best and most high tech? We've already seen the wonderful attitude of a certain 350 Lead LCA toward his fellow pilots, especially junior pilots. Now this?

Thanks for another reminder never to bid 350B.

It's actually the opposite of hazing. Setting up the iPad is a distraction that takes away from the learning experience. Most LCPs relieve you of the distraction so you can effectively manage your workload. If they were hazing, you would be tasked with setting up Flight Family, Widget Wx, Mission +, Jeppesen, Aerodocs AND the integrated EFB. The relief pilot helps with Flight Family and you can ask the LCP for the turbulence data in Widget Wx. Everything else is available in the EFB.

Firefox, but we don't want the plane responding to the neural signals of a 65+ aviator. The synapses don't fire fast enough. Shields up...

Hey, General! Any “insider” info you can share from your top men regarding the August AE? :)

Mmm I have a hard time believing our 9 new 330s will be flying themselves in a few months. Maybe? But at some point I would think we would need more than 3 new positions posted on that category. Unless we are truly hundreds of pilots over staffed then I’m wrong
