US Pilots Labor Discussion

[luvthe9]

The heat and humidity of the south must be rotting your brain. You forget that we are flying across the Pacific now. Are you so arrogant to think that somehow the Atlantic is more dangerous or difficult to fly than the Pacific?

How many tries did it take your stellar management team to make it happen? It took the east to sort it out you bunged it so many times.

Wrong! As usual.

Well, I meet a lot of people...
...and I'm convinced that the vast majority of wrong-thinking people are right.
I think all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told
that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am!

Be kind to luvthe9 - he apparently hasn't gotten over US' ETOPS certification attempts after the US/PI merger. The POI finally had to put it bluntly - "Look, take PI's ETOPS program, everywhere it says PI substitute US, then we'll approve it." 😀

I know be kind to 9. It really is simple. The T/A, lists specifically the Hawaii flights for the west. That means that we were doing them before the merger. No help from US Airways. I know that some east guys think that they are the only pilots capable of taking machines into the air. Some of the posts here try to imply that they are Charles f'ing Linbergh crossing to Paris every time they leave the ground.

If some of these guys would just learn to read, remember and understand.

You're making an ass out of yourself. Yet again.

The main batteries do not power the APU starter you effing moron. There is a separate APU battery for that, and only that.

Who said anything about the main batteries!?!?!

Move2 is most likely the dumbest one we have encountered yet. I say it is the angrymom s kid. She went off flying and left the kid in the lot with her i pad

Calm down 9.

Let's try to focus on learning how to quote in your posts first. You've made quite the mess.

Technically flying or announced prior to the merger - I didn't keep track that close.

It looks to me like the APU starter could be fed from AC Bus 2 through the APU TR.

7x.xxx APU Starting. The APU can be started using the aircraft batteries, external power, or normal aircraft power.
APU operating parameters are displayed on the ECAM when AC power is available.

The 330 does have three batteries, 2 main and 1 dedicated to APU start.

Whuuppsss!!!!!


LOL!!!!!

Looking at the schematic, it appears that if the plane is powered APU start is powered from AC #2 through a dedicated T/R. That may be wrong, but I'll tell ya that those 330 schematics aren't nearly as good as the old 727 ones. Of course, given the wisdom of the FAA and US (plus who knows which other carriers) all the system info is back home in the training manual when you need it.

LOL!!!!!

So there's conflicting info in a Training Manual between APU section and The Electrical Power section. Maybe Little Miss Can't Be Wrong can use that as defense of her ignorance. "It's not my fault!!!"

Boy, you are right about that Jim. The information we got on the 727 was really specific and now they keep it pretty general to leave more time for...FLOWS (sigh). Good news is, the Oral Exams can't get too deep.

The APU TR does tie in for APU starting along with the APU battery if AC power is available.

You made a mistake...big deal. Man up, move on. But we can still pick on you about it!!!
