    Command Directed Q3 Q?

    The disconnect is its a German OG and the Germans grow up with different flight rules that have different thresholds of conservativity built into them. Germans believe its ludicrous to every fly VFR, land at an uncontrolled field, and lots of other crazy non sense. 

    But as an OG, the German has an entire shop of likely non-German experts (can’t remember the acronym - I think it ends with a V) to bounce this sort of thing off of.  Not saying he didn’t, but either they concurred or no one felt compelled or able to talk him out of it. 

    The good news is, this shouldn’t affect the Q3’d reservist’s seniority when he goes back to Delta.

    Explain

    I worked two separate flights this week where an individual became confrontational with a flight attendant regarding mask wear.  One was physical and we requested the police upon arrival.  The second was verbal and the customer service supervisor we requested at the gate (just in case) elected to bring law enforcement with them.  

    Flight crew are being put in a shitty spot with regard to this mask mandate and tensions continue to get worse. But none of that is news.

    Finally done in Afghanistan?

    RUMINT only at this point but the C-17 crew is not getting DFC's...instead they are getting investigated for the two civilian deaths that fell off the aircraft.

    I would have drafted their Q3 paperwork the second I saw 800 pax reported on Twitter.  
    Joking aside, I will not be surprised when AMC tries to hang them.

    The song that played 6.9 times at the now-closed Scooters in Altus.

    Holy shit... Altus was my first thought too.  Only I was thinking Woody’s bar in the old motel on Broadway and Veterans circa 2008.  Now I gotta get drunk and listen to ‘Copperhead Road’.

    Do you know the story of this "incident?"

    Funny you should ask... as I searched for the pic, I thought I remember hearing it was more than just the “Amn Dipshit dropped his cell phone and was searching for it when he drove under an F-15” as described in the news (I use that term loosely) story I saw. 
     

    I feel a solidly told refresher is in order on this one.

    ...COVID hit and both our jobs became telecommuting and all of a sudden we were spending almost every minute of every day together. 

    I am always an open book so if anyone has any questions, feel free to send them here or PM me and I’ll be glad to answer them.

     

    One question: which airline has gone to the telecommuting option?  I'm beginning to think I may have fucked up with my choice of companies.

    Congrats, brother!  Glad to hear things have smoothed out post-AD.

    ACSC in the Guard

    Speaking of ACSC...

    What is the general stance regarding promotions in Guard units right now for those who elect not to do ACSC in correspondence?

    I am rolling the dice after giving up way too much of my life to SOS and Masters bullshit while on AD. I really cannot stomach the thought of subjecting myself to another Air University time bandit. We’ve had a few guys in my unit promote with fewer career/flying-relates boxes checked than I have.  Just curious how other units have been treating ACSC lately.

    Just had a few of these Jai Alai IPAs and, damn, they’re awesome with a 7.5% ABV punch. I’m trying to mend my ways of being a multitudinous cheap Lights quantity over fewer quality beers kinda dude, so getting into better beers has been some work. But, these babies are tasty and available at the Class 6. 

    I'll second Jai Alai from Cigar City Brewing.  Still can't beat Bell's Two Hearted, but definitely in my top 5.

    Looks like textbook work by the crew.  I haven't done phase sims yet this quarter, but I heard we are given this particular scenario.

    I don't have the checklist in front of me, but is opening the troop doors part of the landing with partial/all gear not extended checklists? If not, that's good thinking on this crew's part.  I've heard that one of the first indications of the actual problem the Bagram accidental gear-up landing crew had was when the crew entry door didn't swing all the way down during the evac.  Might just be an old rumor though.  

     

    Check Ride Question

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by FUSEPLUG

    As a MAF dude on Active Duty, I had an experienced IP question me as to why I didn’t give him a Q-1E (commendables) on his mission check.  I told him because it was a vanilla checkride on day with great weather and he did his JOB. 

    Apparently being on the Wing CAG wasn’t going to be enough for his career.  I think he works for Delta now. 

    To answer your question - just take any commendables as a compliment. You weren’t EQ (don’t know if I’ve ever seen one), but you rocked some shit on the checkride... AND YOU PASSED.

    Guys, guys, guys!  This is not how online discourse between flyers is supposed to work!  Not one of you used the term “libtard” or referenced the “orange man.”  
     

    I think we should all take few minutes to peruse Airline Pilot Central (pick a thread, any thread), then come back here and discuss this topic like mature adults with internet anonymity.
