Okay cool. Did the LMS tell us that for all non FMS 4.2 equipped birds, the pilots will have to change all the approach altitudes to hard altitudes? If not, there’ll be no snowflake. I just don’t remember if it says to

Sop? So you think the new canpa sop that removes the safety of capturing the lowest altitude with the autopilot is a good sop that enhances safety? I mean lord forbid two new pilots get task-saturated during the most challenging type of approach and let the autopilot fly itself into EGPWS escape maneuvers.

Has any seat been offered 200% in January yet?
I know it's a month of below average flying but there are no green days for JFK CR9 CA.
Just wondering if they're now less inclined to go 200% under the new rates.

Currently the only 200% day between now and end of Jan for DTW 900 CA is Dec 25... 3 CDO's up for grabs that night in open time. January open time consists of 2 trips starting Jan 1, a day trip paying just 2 hours (non min day qualified) and a 4 day that credits about 17 hours. Vast majority of lines were showing credit under 70 hours so I'm betting most won't be easily breaking 75 for the month unless we get some big snow storm events.

I love debating this stuff. Here’s my take on raw data flying (tTrolls welcome). I think the FD should always be used for the takeoff because it’s just a professional decision that shows sound judgment. Then, precluding congested airspace or high workload, I say once the flaps are up and if a pilot wants to practice their scan, have at it. Turn that bad boy off and hone that scan. It’s all good. What’s the big deal?
The FD sucks on TO. People don’t hold V2+10 to 1000AGL per the SOP. I like to take off raw data unless it’s RNAV DEP it makes you more conscious of what the plane is doing. I find it much easier to hold V2+10 to 1000 and then fly the profile. I encourage my FO’s (which usually haven’t seen raw data TO ever to do it) they almost always remark at how much easier it is the fly the plane that way. They learn more in the few flights with me about actually flying the plane then in all of OE. I only encourage them to give it a shot because I am very comfortable hand flying the plane and keep a close eye on them. Also I stress fly smooth and if they can’t fly smooth them autopilot and FD come on (rarely have I had to do that). If rev 4 says no raw data I will do what they say but for now I am going to enjoy my raw data.
Just a side note I was introduced to raw data on initial FO IOE by a wise check airman. I thank him for showing me the way.
Children of the magenta line is an worth wild YouTube search and talk. Automation is great and keeps you out of trouble but when it doesn’t work or fails at an important time I think it’s wise to actually know how to hand fly. The only way to keep those skills sharp is to actually practice when everything is working.
Ok rant over. Happy holidays. Let’s have a great 2018.
