BubbaJ - as far as I can tell VB recruitment is a total lottery!

I'l second that slice.
Seems pretty centred around the almighty 'blue star'. Also HEARD that 3000hrs is the magic figure?????????????

New type heads up
 

To all at the sharp end: from an ATC (RTF) standpoint is "E (as distinct from echo) JET" for (E170/E190) a satisfactory description of this type? The alternative, with respect, is too long.

Do you mean like..."ABC behind the E-Jet on final line up''.......??

All traffic Coonabildumbana CTAF, Virgin thirty five twenty one an Embraer One ninety e-jet taxiing for brisbane runway two four traffic Coonabildumbana.

E-Jet RTF
 

Prescisely. " Behind the landing E-Jet, line up behind". You guys are quicker than I imagined. Must be the pointee end stuff!

Well done winsok, you got it.

How about "behind the Embraer"....

There's too many different Embraers flying around!

"Behind the Virgin E-Jet" is best. :}

I would suggest "behind the Embraer 170/190" etc is good... Although given the fact that it is a relatively new type to Aussie skies might require it to be preceded with the relevant operators name eg "Behind the Air North/Virgin/SkyAirWorld Embraer 170" etc

How about...."line-up behind the Ve-Jet".......
