    Abbreviated Checklist

    Anyone? I'm looking for an abbreviated checklist, the kind that is usually printed on card stock or laminated in the cockpit. I'm trying to create one for a Beech 350 so that we can save wear and tear on the formal checklist book. Even if yours isn't a Beech 350, I'd still like to see one so...

    Germanwings Crash. Why No Fires present ??

    Pilot shortage solved

    So if Endeavor is now going to use "the same tough standards as at Delta" during their hiring process, where are they going to find pilots with 1000 TPIC hrs willing to take $25K starting salary when the majors are paying more and hiring too? And does that mean that the pilots on property...

    Asiana 777 Crash

    Wasn't it United or Delta a long while back who had an incident climbing out of SFO? I know it's not the same as the Asiana crash but the reason I bring it up is because NTSB found that the crew, all really long haul pilots, weren't getting the continuous familiarity with actually flying the...

    Stealth Age 67 to 70

    Ha!! The only "pilot shortage" that exists is in the pay structure. Do you really think there would be a pilot shortage if the pay got better at the regionals? If I could make the pay a SWA or UPS pilot is making, I wouldn't care what I was flying! I suspect there are a lot of pilots out...

    New AGE limit discussion

    Back in the 90's, I think United had the option of a pilot retiring at 60 but being able to coming back as an FE. Everyone else used to call them "herpes". Go figure....

    New Rest Rules and Commuting.....

    Hah! It's called home-basing. At the Colgan hearings, the investigators asked enough questions to make it plain that the Colgan people knew their pilots couldn't afford to be based in 4 or 5 of the most expensive cities in the US and actually expected their pilots to commute to work. Not that...

    Air france pilots getting the blame

    I just love it when the media assume that as an F/O, we have "less experience" than a four striper. I've flown many times in which I've had more experience, more total time, and more time in equipment than my captain. Unfortunately, he still got the "more money" part...

    Question Regarding NJA sell-off trips

    The sell-offs eventually help us out because of the language in the contract. The pilots I have a problem with are the ones who scramble to pick up all the extended days they can find. There is no limiting language for that, as I understand, like the language for sell-offs. Those extended-day...

    Question for AMR F/A's

    On a LOA the seniority freezes at the position you were in on the day you first started the LOA. So technically you don't "lose" any seniority. However, everyone else continues to accrue seniority. So, yes, if you had six years seniority and took a one year LOA, you would return to bid at a...

    pilot who also is suing the TSA on there enhanced pat downs

    Interesting thing, tho, with all the security measures put in place by the TSA, they haven't stopped anything. Even the wannabe terrorists were stopped by everyone else except the TSA: flight attendants, passengers, Government intelligence, but not a single incident so far of stopping an...
