Too Tall is exactly as his name implies..... he is really freakin' tall....especially for the SAAB. How tall are you E? 6'3? PQI is definitely a party place.... lots of hot broads and tall cold beers. On the right night you might even catch a game of tippy cup or two. (just a touch of sarcasm) When you hit ten posts pm me 2Tall!

Well if your PQI your going at a good time... the fun doesn't start until winter.

Best advice I was given on the SAAB was to fly the airplane don't let it fly you... it will take about 400 hours to feel really good in it and at 600 you can do anything with it.

Good luck... when you get there talk to your #1 FO... he's an ass but should've been typed on day one.

tell RM to fix me a couple of burgers.

IOE is almost done, all is going well but now I am having trouble with these f-ing visual approaches. I am descending @ approx 800 fpm and not getting down soon enough, pretty much blowing through the g.s. I need to get them down, landing is fine... I guess it is just another thing to perfect, at least I got the landings down. Its just getting my head out of my arse and realizing that a 340 goes a lot quicker than a dutchess.

Hey dude, I know you can fly a visual, I've seen you do it many times. This may sound a bit silly but its the truth. "Its just an airplane, fly it like you've flown everything else in your life."

Its like in the 40 Year Old Virgin, you are putting the ***** on a pedestal.

a little off topic...

Just out of curiosity how "tight" of a fit is the Saab? I'm 6'6"...

Yeah D. I know, I know..... I think I'm just letting the plane fly me. Tomorrow is a new day! I know I got it, just my last one today was, yuck!

The Saab isn't too bad of a fit however, I am only 5'8", but there is room.

When do travel benefits start at Colgan? Immediately, or after training?
