The FO does most of the communications; they don't trust my perfect
English. In South Fl if you speak good English you can't communicate properly. I have had a lot of fun with my language in Miami. Most people (latins) assume I don't speak or understand Spanish, and it is quite funny when they talk about me (in Spanish) in front of me without knowing I understand. All joking aside, communications is one of my pet peeve's in the cockpit. With so many inexperienced and foreign FO's, they have terrible and poor communication skills. There is one African FO, that answers "OK!" to all ATC instructions. Never reads back anything, and most of the time doesn't even know what they told him. I like the guy, but he has no place flying until he can understand English. He is the only guy I ever lost my cool with. When I fly with him, and it is my leg, I do all the flying and all the communicating. I fly pretty good, so far I haven't broken an airplane, so I guess that accounts for something. Considering some of the FO's I fly with lately, that makes an above average Pilot (in my opinion). I haven't flown a light single in years, so my brother doesn't let me land his airplane, as most jet pilots, I have a tendency to start my flare way too high when flying a light single. |
