47 Classic F/E's
 

If anyone has any past training materials from your F/E ground school you might want to part with, I sure would appreciate it if you would contact me. Thanks

Is it really too difficult to put the 7 before the 47 ??:ugh:

The thread title sound as though someone is looking for 47 flight engineers, rather than what the original poster is really asking.

Is a "Classic F/E" the one with a roll of speed tape, a can of WD40 and a bottle of 12 year old malt in his bag?:)

No..that would be a DC-6 FE.:rolleyes:

In our classics, the FE's aren't issued the roll of duct tape.

They have to buy their own. (and they're grateful...)

Oh come on Guppy..CKS isn't that bad.:E

It always has been, why change now?:}

Did Connie hurt your feelings at sometime?

No...however I had several friends there who were screwed when the company was sold to Kittyhawk.
401K's went away, too.

Get over it...that was a long time ago. It is a totally different company! If you are not familiar with how things are currently, you should keep your trap shut!! I suggest you gossip on things that you are involved in!!

Duct tape. They have to buy their own (and they're grateful)
 

Still got the "lovin" feeling for your F/E's Guppy. BTW, where do you get the time to post 144 times in 28 days? Must be difficult to fit in with your international long haul flying duties!!!!

I'm home at the moment. Why are you so deeply concerned about my time?

Crashing at BOG and BRU, engines falling off into lake michigan...different company...I don't think so, sunshine.:}

There's your problem. You simply don't think.

Do we really need to show your failing in the examples you *think* you just provided?

And in the far Corner....:}

Time at Home
 

SNS3Guppy, I am pleased you are having time at home and whilst I am not in the least concerned about your time I think it would be an opportunity for you to review your response to earlier posts of mine on another thread on "Tech Log" reference "Aircraft with no loss of Oil Pressure Procedure". Your have no reluctance to call others "liars", "trolls" and to generally dismiss any opinion which differs from your own. In your post #29 of 30Nov2010 on the above mentioned thread you wrote;

"The C130 (and L188, for that matter, even though the Electra/P3 does use upside engines) is a bit of a different animal, as it uses a seperate pressurised sump of H-5606 for the propeller; it doesn't use engine oil to control the propeller, or lubricate the gearbox".

My response, in post #30 and later posts, was to point out that the gearbox is indeed lubricated by engine oil which is supplied from the same oil reservoir which supplies the engine lubrication system, albiet the engine and gearbox having independent pressure pumps and scavenge pumps. Initially you ignored my post, however when specifically asked to respond you simply wrote, "You're wrong" and later when I asked you, via a PM, to accept that I am correct you accuse me of "fishing for information". Now is your chance to show me why your assertion that the gearbox on the T56 is not lubricated by engine oil is correct and my assertion that it is is wrong. It is not asking too much to have you accept that, in this instance, you wrote an incorrect comment.

Old Fella......you are of course correct, If I was at home now I could paste the extract for you. If the argument continues for a while and when I get home I will post the relevant facts to back up your case.

Backing up facts
 

fergineer Thank you mate, but this is not really about the T56. It is, for me at least, about the fact that Guppy will not ever concede that he may have erred. It is a matter of principle more than what is correct. With ten years on C130's I am sure I can hold my own with Guppy who, it seems, has operated 80 different types/models of aircraft in his career. He also is a rare person who has been a mechanic, an inspector in a depot level maintenance organisation, a F/E and a pilot. Thanks again, but you may as well enjoy your time at home because Guppy will not, I expect, agree that whatever you post is correct if it is not how he sees it.
