It would be a more comfortable world for all, but I don't see how it could be implemented. We only have it because A lines are posted first, so you know you're avoiding a trip awarded to that Captain. When A's are awarded, you don't know what B is on the trip.

Pm me your email and I'll send some pics. Super easy. I bought my stuff from the local growler store. He had extra commercial taps and a quality regulator. The CO2 bottle gets replaced/refilled after a few kegs by him for $20. One tap handle I bought off eBay (Dogfish) and the other I made from my sons hockey stick. Homey's Depot had the 3/8 adaptor for a dollar to attach the stick to my tap. Now I'm looking for a thrust lever to make another tap handle.

They are all horrible. When they talk about something you have some knowledge of, and they are so off, it makes the rest of their information on other subjects suspect. PAN? PAN? Who the he// uses PAN......

The poor Captains get to deal with "Fumes".
I had my one experience with the "Hermanator". What an a$$. I actually just put my seat all the way back and my feet up on the foot rests. Didn't say a word until a checklist was required.
Only later did I find out he was infamous. If I ever fly with that jerkoff again we will have a closed door brief where he shuts his pie-hole and listens to me. If he screws up even a teenie tiny bit were heading to pro-stans. I will not let this jerk treat a new-hire the way he "tried" to treat me.
He asked a question and I gave him the answer. He didn't believe me so he started a three-way call with dispatch and the duty pilot. Shortly after the call ended and ACARS message came through. The message stated, "your FO is right". No $hit sherlock!!!! Our FO's, myself included, have a couple decades experience before we show up here. That guy is a major tool!!!!! This was just the first thing he did. This tool didn't even know that you could have the localizer set off of the actual course and still fly it straight down the pipe. He was all worked up over a recent runway redesignation that was 2 degrees different than the ILS course. I turned mine 30 degrees off and showed him my centered needle. Duh!!
The icing on the cake was when we landed in fog and he missed not one but TWO taxiways. I told him both times but he shushed me, pointing his finger in my face. F U you jerk. I finally told him he could get lost on his own, in the fog, in MKE.
Later I flew with a 4th floor bubba. I told him, without names, about my experience. He stated, "you must've flown with the Hermanator". Yup. We have an extensive file on him.
Why the H E double hockey sticks do we not fire people like this. New-hire's do not deserve to deal with this turkey.

The nice thing about the Herminator is you can tell him to his face that he's an ******* that no one wants to fly with. If it escalates to chief pilots, he will lose because of his history.
Just say, "now I know why you have your reputation and why no one likes you.....because you are an unreasonable prick. I'm surprised you haven't faced disciplinary action yet."
I would like to add not recommended for probies.

Mayday is a distress call. A notification that the craft and people aboard are in imminent danger and call for anyone who can to render assistance. (roll the trucks)
Although we lump both terms into "emergency," some might prefer use the correct verbiage to avoid a lot of conversation about what you need and what time bucket your "emergency" is in. As you know, it is a common IP trick to try to distract you from checklists with questions over your simulated radio. This usually answers their questions and shuts them up (both simulated and in real life).

Norwegian pays its captains about $170,000 annually and pays first officers about half that, Kjos said. A typical hire might be a pilot who is about to retire, has flown 20 years for a major European carrier and would like to spend a few years flying the Boeing 787 and living in Bangkok. "They think the pay and salary are quite good," Kjos said, adding: "For me to sleep well at night, I need experienced long-haul pilots."
