But a 26% S25 fuel hedge means that they can’t go bust
I'm out.
[QUOTE=EGMC;11567371]Could anybody in the company please share manual flying policy- on airbus OMB.... specifically manual thrusts, visuals etc[/QUOTE
I doubt you’ll get that . If you are in the company you’ll have it , if your a flight simmer you don’t need it ..

....and IF I'm considering joining and using it as part of my pro/cons?

Who needs pay, pension, rostering practices, opportunities for commands, basing certaintcy etc etc when you’re allowed to move the little bits of plastic in the aircraft slightly more liberally than some other carriers.
Airline specific OM-Bs etc are controlled documents owned by the airline, and there's a very specific note/warning at the beginning of then about reproduction of said documents without authorisation. Please don't ask for this sort of material because you could land someone (pun not intended) in real trouble. Ask the questions you want answered and current employees may be able to answer them.

Well he’s absolutely right , the point I was trying to make - you are not allowed to see that stuff outside the airline .
Restrictions on visuals - I’m wondering if you are thinking of a min visibility , which is a restriction my last company put on that

I can’t be the only person thinking the reaction to the potential recruit asking a simple question has been needlessly way over the top.

Most airlines don’t have a specific policy on visual or manual flying, aside from a recommendation of a latest time to engage the AP.
As with all airlines, it’s the Captain’s call and if he hasn’t briefed it correctly, complied with SOPs and made any poor decisions, he’ll be held accountable.
With this in mind, I wouldn’t be applying to any major airline hoping for lots of manual flying. Try the smaller wet-lease specialists, where perhaps things may be a little less restrictive.

Possibly not enough airbus pilots at Jet2 yet for any of them to be reading this? As far as I remember in the 737 part B hand flying is encouraged, with a caveat about busy airspace etc. I know it’s there but it’s not a big deal. Generally the PF will say that they would like to hand fly to or from a certain point and the PM says yes, or no if there’s a good reason (airspace/weather etc). I would guess that the airbus part B will be the same, taking into account any manufacturers guidance that I don’t know as I’ve never flown one. But generally in J2 hand flying is encouraged, or has been on all the flights I’ve done in nine years in the company.
Couldn’t agree more. But then that’s the downside of pprune. Generally full of contrived keyboard warrior ego flexing aviation gods.

As excrab says, it's encouraged with the usual caveats regarding workload/weather etc.
it's in OM-A so applies all types. It's the same policy as my previous 2 airlines.
I'm on the Airbus and fly manually to keep in practice regularly.
There is very little flying currently. I've got 3 flights til March, so most people are acting cautiously.
Hope that helps.
