I talked to Berck tonight. His first flight yesterday from JFK to DFW he didn’t touch the controls at all, just talked on the radio. He said he felt eight steps behind whatever he was supposed to be doing. Today he actually flew. He said taking off was nothing like the sim. And then he had to do a visual approach into JFK, following the dreaded white rabbit, one of the most difficult approaches in the country… ON HIS FIRST APPROACH EVER. Most airline pilots spend years as first officers flying into little podunk airports before they ever fly these…
Woohoo! (On Facebook). I’ve looked long and hard to find something else that will import data from crewtrac, but have not been successful. It doesn’t looks like I’m going to have much time off. Just enough to go home next week for two nights, I hope.
