Is Girl Flying School run by F/A?

[pokemon]

Have our pilots watched the TV series about our unit on Sunday? It's in fact a promo for F/A.
It is a joke if you see how they are bluffing of their so-called professionalism.
"As a recuer, I have to take 2 tests in a year" one of the F/A said, "this is a good chance of experience exchange" What's is the test for? 'cause you guys have no licence (I mean the licence recognized by CAD, not you self-made paper with shoelace) What experience you have that can be traded with professional pilots.
People respect that you guys risk your lives to rescue because they got no idea that pilots also on the same vehicle in the same dangerous situation. :mad:

Not trying to make a wise crack but what is a recuer??

I would like to elaborate a little for the sake of FA's.

I don't know about 2 but they do take 1 emergency course per year (same as you guys, only you are do your type rating, mostly nowadays for them is AEQ, all rating).

It is overall governed by the CAD, so if you do fail, you are not allowed to fly.

As an FA you take responsibility over the main cabin and all those 'happy' pax. With the amount of workload and stress from pax, it is no wonder they all look towards the flight deck as a cushy job.

I have heard stories from some SPs that the cockpit was told that they were busy and if they mind waiting until they finish the service. Sometimes the cockpit would be demanding and kept calling to the back for drinks and 'first class food'.

I must bring to the point that as a pilot, it is your priviledge to for this luxury, but you must understand some of the stresses places upon the FAs. Would you be the one to do CPR to someone that just finished eating curry? Well someone has to do it and I give props to the FAs that does it.

There is a fine line in duty between the flight deck and main cabin, please do not compare.

FA position was created for the benefit of the flight deck, back in those days. They are also crew.

Cheers :) :) :)

I don't think the Government Flying Service have flight attendants in their helicopters, so I assume an F/A is some sort of rescue crewman/aircrewman???

[Girl Flying School]

Please don't tarnish my call sign.....

The TV program in question did show only ONE side of the operation in GFS, mainly the crewman section (guys in back). I believe that the crewman do contribute a lot to the operation but (a very big BUT) the TV producer failed to show the hard work that PILOTS do in a stormy sea rescue. Planes can fly without crewman but not without pilots. :rolleyes:

You know the difference between F/As in Girl Flying School and a duck?
(A duck can fly better thsn the F/As!) :)

[ACMS]

ahh a GFS issue,,,,,,,, ok I'll shut up.

[Girl Flying School]

A storm in a tea cup you might say. Just airing out some dirty internal laundry!

Again, "Girl Flying School" is a registered trademark (don't mean much in HK)please use it in a good light! http://www.pprune.org/ubb/NonCGI/tongue.gif

I know my postings may have aggravated some of the real pro F/As (Watch the word pro: Oh let me further clarify, I mean professional like those in CX or KA, not public relations officer like those F/As in our school) If mine really effected, I must apologize to you guys.
Well, I can't avoid hurting the childish souls of our chaps. But as your guardian at the flight deck, I must tell the naive guys that: "No more day dreaming of becoming professional aviatiors without spending your efforts. All professionals must study and work hard to achieve an internationally recognized paper which is called licence" You can't just tie a pile of scrap paper with shoe-lace and said: here is my licence. :)

The exit pool shows that the public, after the TV programme, do have a feeling the F/A command the situation and make decision for the rescue mission. One also mentioned that he thought the F/A could fly the a/c too. You probably have the same illusion if you would have seen the programme.

I do respect their job as a crewman, but not crossing the line to interfere pilots decision.

[critical aoa]

Well, I don't think the School FAs' will see this msg as it is a Professional network afterall!!

It is however the time for the chaps at the front to wake-up & smell the coffee, if you keep on hiding in your little cockpit sooner or later, they will call themselves "Flight Director" or somesort!! (

Watch this space men!!

[drunkfist]

The F/As think they are professionals without any justification. I heard one F/A saying in a open forum that "why the heli F/As can order a go around but FW F/As cannot have the same privileges?"
They were in the wrong track to start with. You have no professional knowledge to order a GA. If you really do so in a cabin, this can amount to an unlawful and insane interference with professional pilots' jobs. You are fxxking wrong at the beginning and don't ever think of extending your dirt into the FW paradise. 'Cause the FW are run by pilots only. They don't need F/A who can't even track a KCR by FLIR but only specialize in sleeping in a bumpy cabin while on duty! :)

Well.
You short-sighted PILOTS in GFS.
Don't you see that the Butter regime is running a pioneer project in Aviation Business. They are attempting to improve the safety in the cockpit by putting a pilot and a monkey in the aircraft. The pilot has to feed the monkey a BANANA timely and make him happy. If not, the monkey will be grumble and mumble, jumping up and down and screams "GO-A-BANANA".
Due to lack of the ability and PROFESSIONAL knowledge, they scream out "GO-ArrROUND".
But the worse of all is, the pilots are paying for the BANANAS.

Allotao,
You are wrong. The monkey actually said: "We ALL..ARE..SHxT!" Due to the noise in cabin, it was misinterpretated as "OVERSHOOT!". Be kind and forgive their foolishness please. :)
