    Seaplane instructor beleives he is more important than a declared emergency.

    Wow just wow. You can bet with high level of certainty someone recorded your audio outside of ATC. If the actions are bad enough you can bet someone within the gov will "leak" their copy. I swear some guys think the world revolves around them.

    Spirit to Furlough 260 Pilot and defer aircraft

    I know some carriers are filling pools. Hiring is definitely cooling. I think companies are waiting and trying to get a read on the Airbus / Boeing issues as well as inflation and maybe a change in administrations. Lots of moving parts right now.

    Spirit to Furlough 260 Pilot and defer aircraft

    It should, but I know many carriers are also reducing hiring numbers dramatically due to delivery issues with Airbus and the PW engine and Boeing having issues with the 737 program. Hopefully attrition saves Spirit from furloughs.

    Flight school recommendation in NYC

    Coming from the view of Airline Pilot and CFII that has been at this awhile. The previous posters make good valid points and I will add a bit more. Training in congested airspace, and in areas that have all 4 seasons of weather is a positive over all. You will be a much more rounded pilot...

    Questions about Bombardier CRJ T-tail jetliners and similar class jetliners.

    Embraer Legacy has a range just over 3400 nm. I am not sure how much more fuel you can cram into them. The planes were never designed to go 5000 nm to begin with. I'd imagine it could be done with ferry tanks in the cabin and pay enough for the STC's anything is possible.
