Freight?

Sorry different airline..

Well that particular flight was only 3 man plus the skipper. Well done her!:ok:

Get some time in or read the books "CodyB" - 8.1.9.3 - 12

CPA777-

Not to the jumbo crews. I do recall some 777F's are still on orders so maybe not so different of an airline for you after all.

Curtain - What are you suggesting/accusing? Be specific.

1) In what way does MY attitude require changing, what is your perception?

2) In what way do you feel I should change MY priorities?

3) In what way am I not united with everyone else?

I have read many of your previous posts with interest and agreement but the last is uncharacteristically accusative. I may or may not agree (mostly do for the record) on the effect of your points 1-7 but I vehemently support your right to voice them; however, your rallying call must be targeted at some general community, and it follows the first line including "777".

In short - "Back off Jack!"

Wherever your head was, that crap was unworthy of you

All Curtain Rod is alluding to is the fact that every pilot in this company does what's best for them. If you're on a fleet with a good roster you may empathise with other fleets but you actually don't give a damn. Everyone does what's best for them, that's CX. I'd gamble the house that as we turn more towards a place where you pick up a type rating and some experience and then leave, that the selfish shortsighted approach will only get worse. In fact it will sadly become the norm.

Talk to a JFO or an S/O that's approaching upgrade and you'll get a sense on how many of them are looking over the fence. Many have already made moves towards the door.

What a great job the crew of 884 did. One of the most difficult emergencies to evaluate, coupled with a remote airfield at night and limited options.

Apologies.

Roy,
You're right. This is a thread about a seroius situation and a crew that performed admirably.
Congrats to all involved.

Haven't seen anything from our Leadership to say they thought the 884 crew did well. Probably hiding behind the 'Can't comment whilst an investigation is being carried out' - nonsense. Predictable - why encourage the 'enemy'.
A few decades ago the crew would've already had a letter from the DFO.
Makes you wonder what these Managers actually manage.:confused:

CPA777, I see your fairly new here, I suggest you assume a suitable roll a person of your experience deserves and suggest you show a bit (lot) more respect for your colleagues on various fleets and just be great full you are where you are and a few years ago when the rest of us joined, you would not have been eligible:cool:

Well done 884 crew, we are all proud

40 Deg Sth,

Lighten up for a second. CPA 777 makes two very good points.

The first was to reflect on how 3 man is coming whether you like it or not. I would rather be handling an in-flight emergency with 4 rested crew than 3 weary crew.

Secondly, tongue in cheek, his joke about freighters being a different airline is totally spot on. Have you ever spent time on the 747F or got any friends on the fleet. Flying freight for CX is like flying for a different airline, a 3rd world one with inhumane crewing.

CPA777 might be new to pprune but his head seems outside of his arse.....is yours?

Hugo.

Hugo-

Whether his words were spot on or not, he was being an a$$hole about it and 40deg took exception to it.

It is CX that makes our former queen of the skies a third world freight hauler, not our fellow pilots. At least throw stones at the right people.

Now i'm a little perplexed….how do two 'one-liners' make someone an A***hole. A comment re 3 man crew is well intentioned and the comment about freighters is a joke (an old one at that, that has been around for years).

Lighten up chaps…….it'll ruin your health in the long run.

Don't worry about throwing stones in the right direction, i'm a long way from being scared of my shadow or paranoid about the big monster (CX) that lurks in the dark.

But back on topic, a great job done by all with this incident. The response by CX also was also, for once, well controlled and managed.

Thanks for the support Hugo

Its just a joke on an anonymous forum, everyone please calm down..

Oh shesus another thread has turned into a you know what,
Turned by the same turnips who turn the aoa forum into a bunch of ##### same sh## different day , wish you would all just eff off and HTFU !!especially you MCGOO

This site is like masturbation. It's also like Penthouse forum..... Long time reader, first time writer. I guess our new hires don't know what a Penthouse magazine is:cool:
Hugo...... I'll fly with soon if not already:ugh:

The sooner CX gives aircraft types on seniority and let the new guys fly the 'freighter' and let pilots with families and years fly the types and routes they deserve, the better. FDAPS will go through the roof again, but seniority should rule in this great airline.

I'm only replying because Mrs 40 Deg told me to get up these young guys.

CPA777 and Hugo, how is your seniority ?
