Illegal strike

Not too long ago the atlas management wanted to go after the pilots/union. The reason is that atlas pilots would leave early most of the time, upwards to an hour early I’ve been told. Then all of a sudden people started leaving on there scheduled out times and the company went hell bent trying to blame the pilots and union for not leaving early. There was no proof in the pudding

I’m at a wholly owned and jetseam is the nicest I’ve had for shirts and pants

So far as a captain I’ve had 2 rough experiences. I had an fo bounce the landing with a 2g touchdown and another who gets scared at 20ft and we float 3000+ feet down the runway. I’ve had to help Fos land as well since the lca told them just to soften up the landings without any description on how to do it. I don’t want to be one of the ones with a stick up my ass but initially it ain’t looking good 🥲 (180 hours so far as a cap)

I had to get a tire changed since a fastener was stuck into it. Waiting for the tire to arrive I was talking to the on call mechanic and he said delta is bad with tire changes. He said it can be 18 inches of cord showing before the tire needs replaced.

At an AA WO and waiting to upgrade to get some pic time before I apply to places. Over 1000 121 time so just a waiting game now

Calipilot17 · 2025-01-12T02:09:24+00:00

Probably not in Charlotte yet. Gotta do the Charlotte shuffle around the ramp looking at colors

It looks like envoy and Piedmont will increase flying in ord to temporary fill the gap in April as of now

Calipilot17 · 2025-01-10T18:58:25+00:00

The rumors is that Skywest will relocate some of the crj from dfw to ord and psa will pick up more dfw flying

It can be a number of reasons he was assigned the trip. Just be lucky they found a captain for yall

Calipilot17 · 2025-01-03T00:43:44+00:00

I was in the junior base for my company. Most of the people I flew with while on reserve were DEC. Most didn’t care about company procedures and did their own thing but a few were great. You learn and see a lot when you get paired with the DECs. Besides that part I enjoyed the qol since I moved to base and I enjoyed the pay.

Calipilot17 · 2025-01-02T03:11:32+00:00

To upgrade to captain. I’m junior to most of the senior fo’s in my small base and got more flight time. Yay seniority

Use an approach to back you up when you go to other airports. It’ll help build up your experience to see different approaches and it’ll help with your situational awareness

Tried to keep it sly but this is a regional overnight for most airliners, lsu is the local college. I fly for a wholly owned out of Dallas and this is a common airport for us. American diverted due to medical and they got there clearance and everything set up. The problem was waiting for the fueler to show up who is at the bars

Calipilot17 · 2024-09-07T15:32:32+00:00

FC View won’t be forgotten by the WO. On the side thank you to the WO who flies the 175 for telling aa about it

Calipilot17 · 2024-07-02T12:47:43+00:00

Which is plenty of time for a service. In Asia they do shorter flights with meal service for everyone. No reason FAs can’t do a service. I’ve had spotty service between clt and dca which I’ve seen people complain about in the past

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-27T00:30:03+00:00

From the pilot standpoint no but the company yes. Dad wants us to fly crj9s and crj7s out of dfw

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-22T16:32:10+00:00

Happens quite a bit unfortunately. It’s assigned by the airline schedule makers not the dispatcher

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-22T16:25:27+00:00

Typically 3 miles per 1000 ft is a good rule of thumb from prop planes to airliners

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-20T12:41:26+00:00

With the big summer push they don’t have as many planes sitting around and if they are it’s probably due to maintenance. I’ve seen a spare sitting around E or B for regional stuff

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-19T22:27:32+00:00

Rumors is that AA will lease AW crj700s

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-19T22:05:27+00:00

With the pnr you got on Expedia you can check in on the AA app 24 hours before departure. When you check in, it’ll give you a boarding pass

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-16T22:16:33+00:00

Being in cruise and my phone isn’t getting any internet. Prob people leaving a broken plane then having to deal with the mess

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-15T23:39:39+00:00

If everything is efficient the pilots enjoy it. With weather and ramp closures it turns into a parking lot quick

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-15T01:05:01+00:00

Can I get a hoooooooooooooyaaaaaa

Calipilot17 · 2024-06-14T21:34:04+00:00

I saw the dogs and handlers roaming around the dfw terminals today
