ALWAYS put the little "notch thingie" at the top and the 18 pins are easy peasy!

That's hilarious. So the same behavior that makes you cool in one fleet makes you a tool in another?

And Standard Text didn't rectify this? I'm baffled.

Thanks man

I'm not sure if I'm coming out of my angry funk (but the malcontents still bug me) or if APC is slowly getting back to its fun self. But, yes I'm back to reading more than the last page on L&G every week or so.

"How do you know all our passengers are professionals too?"













































You set yourself up for that one.

Perhaps you can rotate in for me. It's mostly the thrill of listening to my own voice that keeps me around.

I was a fairly new FO and at the beginning of a 4 day, my CA briefs on APU starting after we land at each station. In other words, which station to start the APU and which ones to not. Well there's no way remember any of this, so on 1st landing I simply ask him again if he wants the APU on. Again I'm new and have no idea who has ground power and who doesn't. So he turns to me and asks "Do you remember the briefing I gave you about that?"
"Umm no, I got everything mixed up." So he huffs and reminds me that CVG is a no APU station. Got it!

Later in the trip we land in ATL. This is my first time in ATL as a pilot, ever! I called in our on and in times (no ACARS) and he yells at me for calling :33 instead of :36.
"Umm I didn't hear you say a thing to me about the times."
"Well I told you about 2 minutes ago. Aren't you listening?"

A few minutes later, I'm getting the clearance for our next leg. I was very careful to read the notes on the Jepps about how you only tell clearance your ramp and only read back the Squawk code. Well I slip up slightly but it was no big deal with ATC. The controller was very nice about it. Well then Mr. Toolbag asks me which runway he gave us...
"Umm, I have no idea" What airport gives us a runway in the clearance, I'm thinking? Again, I've never been to ATL. The guy didn't give a runway.
"He told you it was 8L."

So then he's had enough of me and lectures me about how I don't listen to anything. His briefings, how I should have read the Jepp pages on how to get the clearance in ATL. I was almost shaking at this point.

This was 5 years ago and I've learned not to take crap like that anymore.

Geez... EVERYONE knows CVG is a no-APU station!

I thought CVG was a no-mainline station.

CVG is a station?

Yes, but there's no money in stations.
