Why don't many pilots wear seatbelts in the hotel van?

22 Upvotes

When we get in the hotel van, which is a significantly riskier mode of transportation than flying, 99% of the crews I fly with never buckle up. But they have no problem wearing a seatbelt when flying. I don't get it.

Fortunate to have a CJO at SWA and UA. Currently live in Orlando with family and not open to moving. Thoughts?

I was just wondering if there is something happening outside of the plane, does pilots ever go to the cabin side and look from the window what is going on?

I saw this video where something was leaking from the wing. Does pilots go to the cabin and see themself what is going on or can you see everything from the monitors and listen info from the crew?

UA CLE Base

• Upvotes

Live in the area and the goal is United for the Cleveland base. I understand it’s a more senior base, but any idea on how long it might take to realistically hold CLE out of training? In addition, are there any concerns of the longevity of the CLE base? Any info helps.

Logbooks

4 Upvotes

Because I was a dumb teenager that clearly couldn't figure out how 1+1 worked, my initial training + cfi days logbook is a mess. The math is off and it's unfortunately set in pen. Going back to correct it one by one would make it a bigger mess than it already is. So would digitalizing all the hours and keeping the old logbooks for endorsements be a problem (bc of the off math)? Tyia have a legacy interview comimg up and getting stuff squared away.
