If United wanted its pilots to get quality instructing, I personally think they need to bring in an instructor with widebody experience to teach the lesson and have a SIM that can actually do it. They’re shorting the students, and every student who goes through it should leave negative feedback about it until it gets changed

This company is cheap. They won’t even buy SATCOM / CPDLC for the MAXs, why would they spend millions ETOPSing a new fleet just for Hawaii when the 737 and 777 already fly there? And send all those pilots back to the school house?
the NEOs will fly the 757 BOS/EWR transcons. The XLR will go to Europe and they will only have to ETOPS one fleet and one base of pilots. The Hawaii flying will be easily absorbed by additional MAXs.
I hope I’m wrong but that’s how I see it going down.

I searched but couldn't find it. There was a link someone posted a month or so back that brought you to a site with all of the pairings at UA... Trying to get an idea of what the trips looks like.
Can someone repost? Thanks.

This Orca??
The ORCA or killer whale (Orcinus orca) is a toothed whale belonging to the oceanic dolphin family, of which it is the largest member.

haha. No, more the urban dictionary definition. Gay Yuppie. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But seriously, how long have we been calling oceanic procedures ORCA? A few years? Still makes me chuckle.

Not having PBCF numbers will not slow the ORCA flying ramp up. We will just dispatch with a Redispatch point and airport. What will slow the ramp up will be getting the ETOPs proving runs done and folks trans-alt qualed…

Everything must change LCA=LCP, NOTAM= Notice to air missions, ETOP=EROPs = ORCA. I wonder how long before people who identify as Orcas and PETA/Green Peace demand that ORCA be changed due to micro aggressive cultural appropriation, and sea mammal marginalization?

In addition to the term ORCA being a micro-aggression to vegans, we need to change our policy of writing the word “master” on the OFP for class 2 navigation. That requirement is obviously based in colonial systemic racism/oppression. The mention of “retard mode” in the 737 FM has to go too. It’s hard to believe that there are people getting paid good money to make this stuff up, and even harder to expect us to take it seriously.
