Seriously, though, not looking forward to being looked at as the new potential terror threat.

Just when you think you've seen everything...

Just wait til all the jokes start during boarding and deplaning.

Of course you captains get to have fun... "oh no sir, you don't have to worry about me, I am a captain. We all just have to worry about THAT GUY!"

enjoy

There is really a simple fix. Just issue every captain a little john with the lady j adapter:

That way, they will never have to leave the cockpit.

No brainer.

So if my complete TOE is on my sched for next month -- am I officially off (as in I can be out of contact and sipping Mai-Tai's in the South Pacific) until then? Or are we on some sort of reserve/contactibility duty during prolonged training?

Thanks.

Ima let you finish, but you need to make sure that mixture isn't too rich.

I'm not a big fan of every other leg either. The captain usually takes the first leg so he gets an extra leg if there is one. That's not a big deal but it usually means all my landings are in DTW and ATL which gets a little boring.

In my opinion, the only proper way to divide legs is 1-2-2-etc. modified so the guy with the tightest connection to his commute gets the last leg (to control his own destiny). If there is an extra leg it should be settled by one round of paper, rock, scissors. I usually gave the FO the option of flying the first leg but an argument could be made for the captain flying the first leg to set the tone.

I guess. But if its not a low frequency international category where people are hurting to get a landing to avoid the sim thing, who really cares? I've never once cared about which legs I got and if someone else wants "that extra leg" mo power to em. One of my friends (at another airline) was getting chronically micromanaged and he told the skipper to take all the legs. He said he didn't need the currency and was happy to work the radios. The Alpha-dude loved it and my buddy flew the rest of the trip in peace. Win win.

You always get a live person when you call.

Highly recommend.

I financed my first car out of college with them. Brand New employee, but they gave me a loan. a couple years later, I saw that the rates dropped, so I called to "see what was involved in getting it refinanced at the lower rate", she asked me a few questions, the last two were: Would you like the balance re-calculated for four more years, or would the lower rate with the same maturity work? The last question was the $29 dollar application fee acceptable. That's all it took.
