ACC is, as far as I know, a pretty good company to be at.
I would walk away from flying in an instant before I went to any regional, so it goes both ways. |
AMEN brotha!!!! As far as:

I'd say that there are pilots that are too cautious to be flying 135 with no radar, ap, etc... - However, our dispatch never complains when we want more fuel because it's $0.10 cheaper at the destination, never pressures us to fly through any weather we don't want to, and never calls us repeatedly during our rest period to let us know we were flying to an airport we already knew about, unlike what I was told about Air Cargo Carriers. Besides, dispatch doesn't screw us. Scheduling tries to, but it's not intentional.

Our dispatch doesn't even care where we fill up at...it's up to us. Never get pressured to fly in any weather...they know me and I know them. I see them at least once a week...they know that I know what I'm doing. How about you? When's the last time you met your dispatchers? Our dispatch is forbidden from calling for 10 hours after we check out (usually they tell me to call them after 10 hours to find out the plan), if we don't know what's going on the next day (our reserves are the only ones that don't always know where they are going...set schedule for set runs) And, don't try the semantics thing...dispatch/scheduling, whatever you want to call it. It's the company trying to do business and will always have the company in mind before how we want it. Oh yeah, can ya'll do the reduced rest? We must have 10 hours...the only time we get screwed is during standby over a 24 hour time...there's nothing in stone, but there are new 135 rest changes coming soon to address this.
