Re: Some must reads
Aw heck, there was a gal in Bill's Eagle new-hire class who'd never flown anything turbine.
She was the daughter of an AA 757 driver, and thought pretty highly of herself. However, when they were discussing engine starts, and talking about "lightoff", she was furiously flipping through the book while everyone else was just listening. Finally the instructor asks, "P___, do you have a question about something?" She replied, "I don't get it, what light goes off?!"
Having never flown anything turbine before, she was unfamiliar with the term "lightoff". Had it just been an innocent question from someone who didn't know that would have been one thing, but coming from someone who had a bit of an attitude it was another!
