For an OP update, got my CFII back in December and Commercial Multi in Feb. Also got my class date for the airlines! End of July I'll be off to CTP school for the ATP written. What a journey it's been.

I haven't bothered checking when I'll get it so I'm sure I will be notified by a friend and then I'll be super stressed out trying to catch up on all the studying I should be doing already Wow that seems really quick. You've only been with them about a year right?

KodiakRS posted:The Airbus flight control and automation system is really good right up until it encounters a situation the automation can't handle. Then it becomes a disaster waiting to happen. The human factors part of the design is basically non existent which has lead to multiple crashes that could have been easily prevented. Got my first day of indoc tomorrow but we were able to fly the E170 sim for the ATP-CTP course. What a dream to fly.

sanchez posted:I'm glad I fly out of the DC SFRA and therefore radios are more or less mandatory. I don't get the mindset of anyone who would fly without at least a portable that they can receive CTAF calls with. I understand some airplanes don't have electrical systems or workload may not permit transmission (have heard this from glider pilots), but receive-only capability costs $200 and requires very little effort. Where do you fly out of? I did my private at KVKX and instructed at KMTN.

OP update - ATP ERJ170/190 KLGA !! I guess I'm an airline pilot now! Sim ride began with an RTO, backed up to departure end, normal takeoff, radar vectors to join the DP. FMS re-routes. Steep turns. Cargo aft smoke det fail, return to airport. Expect vectors for ILS 5R Cat 2. Missed approach, turning stall in the missed. Procedure turn for RNAV 32, ATC "go around" in the flare. Flap/Slat fail, LOC approach full stop. Back it up to threshold. V1 cut, hand flown single engine ILS to a missed approach, hand flown single engine visual approach. Actual flying portion was about 1 hr 20 minutes. Wowowowow

fordan posted:I think most GA pilots are fine talking to ATC if they are are planning to fly through R space to verify it’s inactive. The people who aren’t aware of the R space and bumble through it aren’t going to be talking to ATC, and aren’t going to be monitoring 121.5 even if they have multiple radios. I’d argue even the non-oblivious pilots are mostly not monitoring guard regardless of how many radios they have. I know I generally don’t unless planning to do some ADIZ/SFRA/FRZ flying or I know there’s a Presidential TFR nearby. But I am usually talking to ATC if they aren’t too busy for flight following. This. Monitoring Guard is not a thought that enters the average GA pilots mind, ever.

The Slaughter posted:Trying to get some internals... goonternals? Ya never know. I hear the magic number is 4 internals. I’m really awkward at asking for them, though! For what it's worth, I heard from a United recruiter after one of their presentations that internals and outside references are scored the same. And 4 gets you the max points, but again, it makes no difference (points/algorithm wise) if they come from a United person or some other.

That thing was miserable if you were over, say, 5'9" tall (like I am); my head would sit up against the roof, and there was no way at all to adjust the seat height since you were basically sitting on a rail fixed right to the wing spar. I'm about 5' 9" and loved everything about the Cougar

Desi posted:Funny we're having this discussion about time-over-fixes, I just saw a memo our company put out about YYZ Approach implementing such a procedure for the early morning arrivals before the lifting of the 07:30LT arrival curfew. Early morning arrivals will be assigned a time to cross over one of the "bedpost" fixes on the various STARs that is to be followed +/- 2min. If you are early, you hold; late, you rock on through at max forward speed. Apparently we'll be getting the times through our company either printed on the OFP or via ACARS. Pass
