lam aware of the robots.. years in the making, cskszmenlay was at the ranch„ the question you missed has
nothing to do with being a co pilot though i appreciate your over confidence. The issue is that if something were
to happen to larry, that is the only issue„ then i would rather have dave or darren land in a storm in iceland. that
being said i will make a decision tomorrow. my suggestion for helping with your rent if you were to move still
stands.

On the plane, I'm in flow and incapable of being upset.
("According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents
perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. In flow, the emotions are not
just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand. To be caught in
the ennui of depression or the agitation of anxiety is to be barred from flow. The hallmark of flow is a feeling of
spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing a task, although flow is also described as a deep focus on nothing but
the activity— not even oneself or one's emotions.,
I can safely say there is no way anything emotional could affect my focus.
Outside of work, I just can't guarantee the same, but neither can any of your other human pilots. Until you get one of
these: YouTube: Autonomous flying robots
It would be easy to make meaningless promises, and nothing is stopping me from doing that but my discipline to be
honest with you. With that said, I have no intentions of bad moods or being anything but friendly. Since I won't be staying
with you, I see no possible issues.
I understand you don't need me to fly, but I resent you saying there is no benefit to have me fly. It is actually to your
advantage and the safety of the flight.
Yes, there are a many pilots with more experience and flying skills who would make a better captain than I. You already
have one in Larry. I would suggest that it will prove difficult to find a better suited co-pilot for you and Larry.
-I know my stuff, but I have no ego about being right in the cockpit, unlike 99% of other pilots. I am not trying to compete
with Larry. I am there to make his job of flying easier, I anticipate his needs and I am comfortable being his 'flying
assistant'. That dynamic makes for a safer cockpit than you would have with a macho pilot trying to prove himself.
-During every flight, we spend time discussing possible emergencies and ways to deal with them, sometimes I pull out a
test where we both answer FAA questions, sometimes we go through emergency checklists, we discuss regulations and
look up answers - I do it to leam but it also refreshes his memory and in turn we are both more alert and prepared to
handle anything during the flight. Do you think this is the cockpit conversation when another co-pilot is flying?
-The other advantage of having me fly, and an important one at that, is my integrity - unlike Dave, I do not try to cover up my
mistakes. I am better than most pilots with my flight hours, but I know I don't know everything and I am not embarrassed to
ask for help.
-I am calm and collected in emergencies and very capable of handling high stress situations. Thanks to the differences
between LV's and my experience, our emergency responsibilities are clearly divided. Larry flies and I run the checklists and
handle radios. We both do what we do best. Would you feel safer if Dave was the captain on a leg so in an emergency he
ended up flying and Larry just worked the checklist? I don't think so...
-I am ahead of the plane during all stages of flight. Because I love it, I pay attention, think of what happens next, I scan the
instruments and catch discrepancies.
-I never skip checklists, even when I could continue without them. Most seasoned pilots do, and complacency can be
more dangerous than inexperience.
-I actually use standard terminology and enjoy the lack of ambiguity in radio and crew communication, I don't fool
around.
-I am very good when it comes to co-pilot duties. I always show up earlier than I need to. I go above and beyond to get the
plane nice and ready, I don't mind being stuck with the menial preflight tasks that nobody likes to do. I get the cabin ready
the way you like it...how often do you have music playing, new magazines, a devil dog and a freshly made bed with a hot
water bottle, when I am not flying?

Think about the airlines, there is always One person in the position of power. When you have two, things get
complicated. American Eagle co-pilots have as little as 500hours and the safety record is not any lower (numbers). It is
when there is tension, competition, macho attitudes and complacency in the cockpit, that bad things happen. With me,
neither of those is an issue. Think about your other co-pilot options...
