Hey everyone,
Like most pilots trying to save a few bucks, I am looking for someone willing to split a Gogo internet subscription with me. It seems like I spend all my time commuting to work and would love to use Gogo on those flights but cannot stomach paying more for that than I do my home...
For what it's worth, I sent Foxnews an email yesterday explaining that small Cessnas have a "pilot" and commercial airliners have a "flightcrew".
No response yet.

Lear70,
My point is that with both Airtran and Allegiant, they are making steps. Nobody stars out with American Airlines payrates.
Also, what does 10 years really have to do with this discussion. If you want to look at it accurately, you should look at all startups since deregulation. And...
I can name two... almost. Allegiant and Airtran. Yes, I know that Airtran is older than 10 years but not by alot. Valuejet and Allegiants first group of pilots was making terrible wages and both are doing pretty well now.
As far as going back to year 1 at upgrade, I am not a fan and won't...
Green,
1. Yes, many. Southwest and Frontier guys are great.
2. Not yet.
3. Yes, substantial. Hiring 180+ pilots in 08. Currently about 170 on the list.
You do have a decision to make. I am not going to throw rocks at the other guys here... unproductive and not worth my time.
I am a pilot...
I can't speak for other VA pilots so I won't make blanket statements concerning others. I have never had an app in with United or Delta. They were not my bag. I have no ax to grind.
I can say for a fact that I would not leave VA if UAL, Delta, NWA, USair or Continental called tomorrow and...
Captkrunch,
Back to the original purpose for your post. Aviationinterviews.com has a couple of reports that are spot on. The process is very laid back. This is my fifth airline and it is the best group of people I have ever worked with. Good luck to your friend.

Deltoid,
Thanks for the reply. The other thing that is throwing me off is that I have the red Gleim book for the FE and those questions are not in it.
...To much studying lately and it's hard to think clearly.

I am taking my FE written in a few days and I downloaded the FEX question bank from the FAA. Around question 130 it starts asking question about piston engines and props. Here is the link -

I thought the FEX was only for turbojets. What...
I am in the process of looking for a new gig and have a problem. A previous employer, I think, is going to submarine me during the background check. Is there anyway to find this out before hand and can they legally do this.
As you probably guessed, I did not leave there on the best of terms...
I am thinking about going high tech and looking for a web hosting company.
Do you know of one that you could recommend or one to avoid.
Any other advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Abe
