Would like to get in touch with 744F pilots.

[flight78]

Hey ! as you might notice iam new here. Iam really intrested in cargo flying and such might wanna become a cargo pilot in the future. Iam quite intrested in cargo operations. Would be really cool if i could get in touch with some 744F pilots if possible. Would like to ask some general questions about flying it and such. my email if [email protected] so please feel free to email me.

Most of my questions are FMC/FMS based. like what Cost Index certain cargo companies use on the 744F and such route information if possible.

Kind regards:Alexander

[flight78]

Anyone??.

Kind regards:Alexander

I dont fly the 744F, but if you ask your questions in the Tech or Questions forum, I'm sure that you will get answers...

As for cost index, its generally route specific based upon the fuel/aircraft. costs.

Hi ! thank you for ur response. I will try to post it in tech/questions forum then :) . Yes i know that cost index is based on many things but i for example know a real cathay pacific pilot he has shown me that when they fly 744 they as normal use 80 as cost index. If they are delayed or have a tight connection they increase to 250 then decrese once ontime arrival is assured.

Kind regards:Alexander

[Buster Hyman]

I knew a fake Cathay Pacific pilot once....:p

[flight78]

Alright and whats that supposed to mean??. You think i know a fake one?.

Kind regards:Alexander

[CR2]

Alexander,
Why don't you post a list of your questions here. Make it easy for folks...

[Buster Hyman]

:rolleyes: No Alexander....

[flight78]

OK CR2 thank you for responding ! means alot to me. I know your a real world 744 CX pilot which I adore wholeheartly Sir. I hope I will get a chance to get to know you better .

The reason I asked pilots to email me is simply becuse I dont wanna clutter the forum and i wanna get to know some pilots more personally simply becuse i wanna ask of ways to become a pilot in the future.


My requests are flightplans, cost index if possible even though i know cost index doesnt matter so much in the end cuz its a matter of minutes.

As one can see alot of clutter.

I hope you CR2 could be kind and maybe help me out here?. As I know Cargolux is one of the biggest 744F operators in the world if not the biggest??. I suppose you base urself at ELLX??.

I myself live really close to ESGJ also about 1 and a half hour from ESGG which get Emirates cargo 744F.

Iam 20 years old fly alot of private at the club at ESGJ with friends I know. Once flew with a real world pilot in a piper:) he let me land the aircraft by myself and he thought I was really good.

I have also visited the tower at my local airport a couple of times. Was allowed to take some pictures and talk to the people that work there.

I have also done some practical training there. After my practical training I was allowed into a charter aircraft an A320 flown by My Travel asked the pilots some questions very intresting :)

Also last but not least Buster Hyman i dont wanna fight/argue with you. You have the right to belive what you want so i think we just leave it:ok: .

Also wanna state

The flightplans are NOT from ACARS but from friends also from websites like fboweb and red1aviation.com.

So any 744F pilot feel free to contact me in what ever way you wish.

Kind regards:Alexander

Hey Alexander,

To start with I'm not a pilot with CX but what do you exactly want to know? Do you want flight plan copies or do you simply want to know what is meant with certain items on it?

Coastrider26

Proud to be out of cargo flying :)

sorry don't know where that came from

[flight78]

Put simple flightplan copies.

Kind regards:Alexander

[Buster Hyman]

Okay...2 things Alexander. The little smilie with the tongue poking out should be interpreted as a "cheeky" comment. There was no intention to dispute your "knowing" a CX pilot, the cheekyness was for the "real" bit. I knew a fake one.." in other words, you knew a real one & I knew a fake one...just a joke Alexander. You'll get a lot of that on these threads, especially in Jet Blast, so don't immediately think people are having a go at you. Aussies will especially enjoy winding you up so...you've gotta watch them closely!;)

Secondly, CR2 isn't a 744 pilot. He's a cross dressing loadmaster from ELLX!:} :ouch:

[CR2]

Buster: baaaaaaaah.... :)

Alex, as that Australian git Buster mentioned, I'm not a pilot... I'll see what I can dig up CFP-wise for you.

[Buster Hyman]

:p Don't worry Ratty, I've still kept Dolly to one side and she's keeping in shape for when you get out here!!!http://www.clicksmilies.com/s0105/tiere/animal-smiley-085.gif

[flight78]

Hey guys ! hows it going?. Well maybe its true what they say you learn something new everyday.

Buster Hyman no hard feelings from me. I guess its the way iam brought up in this cold country lol. People here are very stale and boring for the most. I guess thats why i took your jokes or "cheeky" comments whatever you wanna call it the wrong way and yes you are right i did notice the harsh jokes in the Jet Blast forums.

Australians are really cool people in many ways:)

Hope i get a chance to get to know you better:cool: .

CR2 how can i possibly thank you ??. This means alot to me !. I hope i will get to know you better to:ok: . I hope you can dig up something for me as you said email or here its whatever u wish.


Take care guys !

Kind regards from a cold Sweden

Alexander

[CR2]

Just for the record: Buster and I are ex colleagues, so reserve the right to wind each other up. The idiot supports Everton, do I have to say more :8

He'll tell you I support the European Champions anyway...

Alex, haven't forgotten, patience mate.

Psssst: Buster, did you buy that Hyundai :} (That's Australian for "Crap Car") ...

PS Buster, just asked the missus to do that sheep jumping .gif thingy I learned from you. She hit me.

[flight78]

Hey CR2 thanks for responding once again been checkin regulary glad u havent forgotten. So feel free to email me or if u got MSN feel free to add me. [email protected]. Thats pretty awsome that you guys are ex colleagues :cool: and hey dont be rude against Hyundai my mom owns one:\ ;) .

Just watched Polar Air Cargo DVD from justplanes.com I LOVE cargo its so awsome !:cool: . Hope i can get a similiar job like urs CR2 in the future that would be so awsome !.

Anyways looking forward to getting to know both of u better like i mentioned erlier. Sorry if iam being a pain in the ass:O .

Kind regards:Alexander

[Buster Hyman]

Idiot? Now there's the pot calling the kettle black!!!!:rolleyes:

No, didn't buy the Hyundai. Changed the parameters & got this instead... Astra (http://tcimages.net/DisplayImage.aspx?PD=7957016&S=IS)
I've kept the big Fairlane & this ones for the "Home activities coordinator".

Re the PS....Hmmm...perhaps you need to get her a bit frisky...have you tried Mint sauce???

[flight78]

Great choice Buster !. I to would choose that car over a Hyundai :cool: .

Kind regards:Alexander

[CargoMatatu]

The idiot supports Everton,

Now, now! He's not the only one, you know:ok: :cool:

[Buster Hyman]

Buster and I are ex colleagues

Oh great!:rolleyes: I'm reduced to being Ratty's ex!!!:{

[flight78]

Hey CR2 is it ok if i make a few requests??.

I would love the flightplan for this route

CV741 route is; from hong kong-Baku-Helsinki-Luxemburg.

Also any route going through Dubai would be cool. Like CV 890 Luxemburg-Dubai-Hong Kong.

OK just checked CV740 goes Luxemburg-Helsinki-Baku-Hong Kong.

CV 732 Luxemburg-Istanbul-Terhran-Hong kong.

Also any flight to Singapore would be great !.

Maybe Australia to?:ok: .

I hope its not to much of request for flightplans. Send here or email :cool: .

Any returns to if possible.

Kind regards:Alexander

[CR2]

I'll see what I can do.
CV890 is a charter number, using 200 equipment, so doubt you want that.

[flight78]

OK mate thx for telling me. Could i get ur email?? or could i private message you to?.

Kind regards:Alexander

[flight78]

OK i guess i wont get em this week or weekend. Since no work then. Have a great weekend CR2 and Buster. Maybe next week then :) .


Kind regards:Alexander

[CR2]

Alex, as you said, it won't be this weekend. I have to wait until my tame dispatcher is on duty & has time... (and agrees...).
Nice weekend to you too.

[flight78]

Hope you guys had a nice weekend (CR2 and Buster).

Hope to get some results this week.

Kind regards:Alexander
