Grandstanding @sshole Mainline Pilots
Ah those losers will never have the balls to take back their flying. Dude hope we score some more deliveries. I need to upgrade soon. I've been stuck as an FO for two years now... Statement by Captain Wendy Morse, Chairman, United Master Executive Council, Air Line Pilots Association... -

JetBlue taking local Union Heat

altitude calculations
Never came across questions like this before (or its been way too long) and haven't a clue how to figure them out as relates to actual altitude. Any pointers or attempts to replace the blacked out lightbulb in my head would be appreciated. "Given an indicated altitude of 10,000 ft, OAT -20C... -
Critical Mach Question
Okay I understand that as you pass Critical Mach the center of lift shifts aft, because the first appearence of a shockwave occurs. What I'm not understanding is exactly why? Every book I've read basically says 'the shock wave on the upper surface upsets the lift distribution chordwise.' This... -

ATP Oral Exam Guide
Have an interview coming up and heard this book might be helpful. Anybody ever use this thing for interview prep? Can't find it locally so I don't want to pay the shipping if the book ends up being fairly unhelpful.- nimtz

Carl Icahn, a noble citizen
The park opens this week. My jaw dropped when I figured out which Icahn was being talked about when I read the Daily News today. Ironically I was thumbing through "Hard Landing" before I read the paper. Carl ends up looking practically angelic in the New York press. Don't think many TWA people... -
Spaces Webmaster
Dude this is driving me nuts. What is the issue with the spacesbetween words getting removed as the post is displayed? I knowI'm not the only one, but I'm just trying to get why? I useMozilla instead of Explorer. Is that where the problem is?- nimtz

Good thing I don't have an early report in the morning
Dude, As much as I love playoff baseball and dislike the Bronx Team, 14 innings and 6 hours to settle that Yankee-Sox Game!

Aa 587
Saw on the local NYC news tonight that the NTSB report is due out next month. Apparently the feds will call it completely pilot error. They interviewed the father of the FO who is obviously p!ssed about this. Pretty rough stuff to listen to and I'm sure this won't help the healing process for... -

Those Big 'RJs'
I flew out west all last week and saw several 'America West Express' CRJ-900's. I cannot understand how an FO on that thing cannot be disgusted everyday with the change his work brings into his pocket. All I could think of when I see that thing is the start of a downfall of a once respected... -
