Are the PBS test results even out? Just logged onto the test account and cannot seem to see any results.

An increase in MCT flights coming up early next year.

Today we've got a flight to DWC sitting idle there for a few hours. Any info on that one?

Any info on that one?

Yep, Line training I believe. According to my buddies roster anyway.

Quick question about headsets...

I read the posts about the QC15+UFLYMIKE being really popular at FD back on page 95. Also read about the Telex 850 being completely useless in the 737. Has anybody tried the Denali's D90ANR? Just came across these in a pilot store having an open house around town. Just curious if any of you had any input on them on the 73.
Thx.

I read the earlier comment regarding the 850s as well...I used them for two years and they were just fine. Just to be part of in crowd, I purchased the Bose A20s. They are nice but bulky and cumbersome...and somewhat uncomfortable when you wear them for a while. Uflymike has some issues too...unlike the A20s, once the batteries go you must change them or revert to the company headset. Now that is a POS. Check out the Clarity Aloft.

Thanks for the input.

I just read about the Clarity Aloft. From what I understand, there's no ANR involved with those, instead it uses earplugs on each side with a tiny speaker inside each, correct? I love the idea of not having a clamp-style headset, just not sure how quiet they are... I'm told the 737-800 is pretty damn loud.

As far as your A20s, is it possible for those to be worn with the boom/mic on the right side? Or are the ear cups built specific for each ear and ur stuck with the mic on the left side (if u want the headset to fit perfectly)?

Interesting to hear about your 850s. That was my first option too until I read that previous comment. I've always used the regular telex (not the ANR set), but always used plugs with it and worked ok. Figured the 850s would've cut it. :(

I have used the 850s for years on the 73. They don't excel in any department in any way, they are just solid, fuss free and much better than non ANR.

So Head office is closed (12-13) 14-15-16 then working one day on the 17th and back off 18-19th. Can I have a block of 5 days off too followed by a block of two days off!? Who do I contact...

Hy guys, understand that life is hard in FZ, but anybody has a clue why someone applying for DEC and nearly 10000 hr command on jets over 50 t results unsuccesful at the screening stage? What is it they are looking for?
happy landings.

Sorry to hear that Southern. There is a theory floating around regarding experienced folks...the company is not keen on bringing in guys with lots of hours. Because they have been around the block, as in your case, they quickly realize the stupidity of the operation. Hence, they leave after a short time. The ones green around the collar are enticed by a carrot on a string...the command upgrade... hence, they stay longer. Again, only a theory and anecdotal. The HR department is FUBAR.

Trust me, it's a blessing in disguise. Don't try and understand these idiots, it would be easier to count the stars in the night sky than try and link logic with FZ.

With those hours you can go and join most 'professional' outfits.

Good luck. :)

Badly need of fly Dubai interview preparatory material
 

Fellow pilots......badly need of fly Dubai interview preparatory material.....some pls help....thanks a ton in advance.....

Blue skies n happy landings.

Spice, I suggest you look for interview prep online. There are some websites that will give you access to specific, full interview gauge, with practice exercises, group activities, etc. They're spot on. Google them up and give them a look, well worth the $30 IMHO.

So, a few more points on the 738MAX:
"I was in a briefing by Boeing recently for a MAX customer. The overhead panel is unchanged, it will still remain a "stalactite cave". Field performance is still a worry, no real news on that in the near future.
The MAX is a lot heavier than the NG, to the point where payload is actually less. With sparse increase in thrust, this only means one thing, worse fields performance.
Insider info also whispered (not at this briefing) that the aircraft is overweight from what Boeing has been pitching at sales. That does not bode well."

So I take it this is in regards to FD's announcement for 50 new airframes to be announced at Air Show? Im thinking the french are gonna love that...

If you could be little more specific with the website that would be of great help.....thanks a ton in advance.....badly wanna switch......

PM sent...

Anyone can give me some heads up on the screening process?
Interview questions, assessment tests, group exercises, sim ride?

Standard things, relaxed, uptight?

many thanks in advance
