The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

[Python]

Ran into this one as I was suitcasing my milcomp ratings recently: How do most FAA examiners look at XC time for the ATP? Does flying many miles followed by an RTB count (e.g. combat, most range transits, etc.), or is an actual point of landing >50nm from the point of origin required? If the latter, are a lot of fighter guys getting issued an ATPr initially, and does this affect a candidate's hiring score?

Maybe I just need to take a jet on the road more! (I definitely want to...)

For T-45 and F-18, log everything as cross country that is not FCLP or GCA box. For T-34 I logged only actual cross countries as cross country.

Anything where you flew more than 50 miles, so basically everything. No reason not to scam more cross countries though.

I'm pretty sure the boat moved 50 miles between takeoff and landing. If not ?‍♂️

I didn't think of that. Obvious in hindsight, really.

Looks like XC hours won't be a problem.

A little click-batish but good reading nonetheless- return of @mad dog ’s Mad Dog?

Now I'm thinking maybe I should've chosen the B717 instead of the B737...although I'd be required to do a B717 short course [about 5 days] since I already have a DC9 type rating from the MD88/90. Short courses are not good for mad dog.

and remember its only 25 miles for helos!

I’m not sure if this is click bait-ish or not... but in Barron’s today. The headlilne implies major carriers - but the story is really about FlexJet.

121 and corporate are completely different animals. Most airline guys would never put up with the shit that comes with a corporate job.

That CEO's photo screams 'upscale' used car salesman.

In other news, United Captain personally conducting cabin safety brief to First class passengers and handing out route chart - again for First Class cabin folks. He knows what side his bread is buttered on!

I can see @HAL Pilot doing this ?

Not in this lifetime or the next. I'm not paid to interact with pax beyond PA announcements or herding them during an emergency evacuation.

What a dork! Route charts on a domestic flight.. Screams of New Capt and prior Air Force!

Do United FOs have to lug around a color inkjet printer so the Captain can print out that route chart?

Well, he did put her name on it too so she can't say the effort wasn't appreciated.
