TC?
TC = Type Captain? (I believe there is only one type!) Trainer/Checker?
The only ex Kendalls FO I know in the camp was/is in Darwin. What "C/B"s was he alleged to have been pulling?

If it's the same TC based in Perth (ex KD FO) then god help you lot. Things must be grim to keep this dangerous C/B pulling guy there and shows how bad things must be.

I have known and worked alongside him, on and off, for almost 10 years. He is a professional and highly competent aviator (put to the test more than a few times in front of my own eyes) . Technically well above the average, I would be more than happy to work with and alongside him any time.

I also know of the Perth based Trainer/Checker and agree with your comments.
It appears the only 'pulling' of anything is being done by Redflags.
But as for the ex Kendalls FO.............

Nice one Redie, but I agree with you unfortunately,
You other people can laugh all you want as I am trust me, unfortunately I have witnessed this act too as I was with him when he DID it! (fact 1)
and yes, he was a ex KD FO! (fact 2)
As for the GM going, well this guy was so worried about pilots not knowing where the 'injector pump' was located he couldn't care about pilots pulling CB's like yours truely and others not even knowing EGT limitations. Am I missing somthing here by the way?
They just employed a skipper who got lost on a VFR flight at night twice? (fact 3)
OMG, surely there must be some safe pilots left out there? hope the rear-enders have their life insurance policy current

So.... Its not the Perth bloke redflags is talking about?
What C/Bs was the ex KD FO pulling and when?
Does your reference to not knowing EGT limitations refer to the two engines getting cooked in flight near Perth last month...or was it April?
I heard the engines were a write off and not insured.
Fact 3 - Why NVFR in a Dornier 328?

Hi Justin Gordie,
Well, can't say too much about which C/B's were pulled, but what if I were to mention "Landing Gear, Flaps, GPWS" shall I go on you think? It's ok, because CASA are fully aware and to whom did it, hence why I say "fact" instead of ficton.
One has to understand when seeing MWL, MCL & LDG lights flashing RED and Amber all over the place at NIGHT at around 200' before one can really judge what I say. For those who know, please go for it and explain to me "why he did it" to start with - I mean I know why, but why!! After all it's seconds from a crash, not minutes chaps.
EGT Limits, well when one CP quit in disgust, he was challenged by the then smart ex chopper pilot GM as to "why the CP was questioning pilots on limitations" instead he wanted the CP to question on "where is the fuel pump" etc. My god guys, no wonder he left, but then again, he was shown the door (Fact)
If I was a 'rear ender' I'd be absolutely sh-t scared right now.
I was there when they cooked those engines, guess who was the C&T'er at the time? bingo, 100 pts to that smarty pants
Chaps, believe what you want, it's not my life I'm worried about

Jeez you guys can be harsh! I wonder if you'd actually say this stuff to his face and not from the safety of your computers?
It's a small industry and I'm sure the chance will come. Just wish I could be there to see it.
