Green S.I.C's
Phil, you said:
Two nations separated by a different sense of humour !!
Actually, I thought your comment ("I preferred this thread when it was funny") was really funny. It made me laugh. That's all I was trying to say.
So maybe not such a different sense of humour afterall?

Well seeing as this thread is already going off topic (probably a good thing given some of the responses) I once flew with a very serious Austrian training captain.
After a few days he asked me in a teutonic monotone what my objectives were for the rest of the tour. "To teach you a sense of humour because you are Austrian and don't have one".
There was a pause during which I was sure I'd gone too far then he replied "Ja. I know".
Which was pretty bloody funny I thought. Funnier even than Phil

Funnily (?) enough this accident reports ties together the subjects of crappy captaincy and high-altitude hijinks.

Flinty, he is reffering to the core lock of the CRJ, when 2 pilots took the aircraft above the ceiling for the weight, changing seats in flight and so on...and finally crashed..
If the thread has to drift to High altitude flying, and the like, then it has to be restricted to people flying above FL450 routinely...
This is leaving a lot of persons behind but this very little place of atmosphere of 6000 ft ( FL450 to FL 510) is a very privileged area; a bit like CAT3B landings in Bizjets, there is 3 groups, the one who will never see it or do it; the one's whow speak about it without actually flown them, and the one's whom are flying them or flew them..
Now, CRM is equally important on that day, what are you showing to your green copilot ? ( not so green in a CAT3B ) your leg mate ? or Part A states that this is mine . Sorry I cannot give you the landing there is only one HUD , and it is on my side, but please call the deviations

Just a guess, but perhaps that post was about "cowboy" captains and FOs not wise/smart/experienced enough to say "no".

May be because of the orrendous unsafe altitude of Four one oh which is quoted
"2152:16
CAM-1 you’ll get the you’ll do the next one to say four one oh. * yeah baby."
and yall come back dudes....

I should have known better.
You are one of those "sky gods" from that outfit with HO in Lisbon aren't you?
At your age you should know better. You need to keep away from those sales types as they believe their own lies.
Sleep with dogs and you catch their fleas.

hey Weirdo..
English is not my native language;
I'm not line training with NJE, and I have very little ties with management; I'm a regular line Captain.
However, I have been flying for 20 years in a corporate/business/charter whatever you want to call it under numerous regulations.
Now i'm suffering yearly line checks, OPC/LPC every six months, and due to my age a medical every 6 as well, I have not grey hairs, and I'm not completely bold as well ( must be genetics).
With NJE I fly the falcon 2000 EX ESy, certified to 47000 ft...however due to performance limitations and fuel reserves required I couldn't get one of ours that high, nor it was required as well. ie Max Weight to cruise at M.80 at FL470 is 28300Lbs in ISA , with a BOW of around 24500 Lbs and reserves at around 2000 Lbs this is leaving you reaching FL470 at TOD...not interesting but FL450 is achievable at 32500 Lbs then it gets interesting.
The good things with falcons is that they fly by the book, if you fly them by the book.
Regarding sales, are you reffering to manufacturer sales team?
For your religious comment about gods and the like, unfortunately I'm completely atheistic, therefore I cannot comment since my words would not depict the reality.
( ha yes bad habit from myself; when I do not know, I ask , I do not comment)

All sales, come under the same umbrella.
BTW, if you are multi crew, you should be on 12 monthly medicals, should you not?. Or does that only apply up to age of 60? At 88 you are probably a little outside the window.
Your English is good, considering it is not your mother tongue.
Now what was the thread topic again?
Oh yes green s.i.c. I could not possibly comment old chap as I am one.
I shall leave you and others on this thread in peace.
Happy and safe flying.

Oh contraire Rodney. One may have imbibed a certain volume of nectar, however
I thought it demonstrated a green/weak F/O being lead straight to the scene of the accident by a shall we say substandard captain and perhaps making captains think about just how much "green" F/Os can soak up and be swept along by their attitude and habits.
This incident is also the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear an impending willy waving contest about ceilings. Look where it got these chaps...
Anyway having dug my hole I shall retreat to within the same forthwith.

I was the ultra green FO in a part 91 operation, starting back in January. I was fortunate to be flying with a very experienced CA who sincerely wanted to bring me along.
Starting with the radios, flaps and gear (when I could find the levers, switches, buttons, etc in a timely manner), he kept adding just a little more each time as I caught on. He knew I wanted to learn and do a good job and willing answered my many questions. Eventually he started giving me legs to fly.
For me having a captain that's wants his FO to succeed and grow has been great. It's the attitude that's important. You experienced guys have a great opportunity. I'm guessing most of you will be mentors like my captain has been. Unfortunately there are also a few self important bullies out there. I feel sorry for their FOs.
BTW, we've done FL450 (max. ceiling in the LJ35) where it made sense. Big fuel savings, that's for sure!
