Jet Fuel Prices WILL Be Climbing A LOT, and Soon
I think the new low sulfur diesel requires more oil to manufacture. Thus, higher costs. You mention it being a waste product of unleaded gas. Chew on this. 1 Barrel of Oil: $130 Gallons of auto gas per barrel of oil: 20 Cost of gasoline per gallon in oil alone...$6.50. And we pay what...- wheelsup

Weather radar usage and what not
Allthway, There is one main theory behind weather RADAR use from several industry experts. Archie Trammel was a pioneer for airborne RADAR, his material has already been touched on here. David Gwinn is also another, he worked for Honeywell I believe. There was a PDF posted above from someone... -

Attrition Rates
But only 12 CA's, which is what matters for us ;). -

Air Wisconsin Hiring Again...
AWAC continues to miss the boat on these RFP's. XJT & DAL, SKY & everyone, Colgan & CAL, etc. The owners are ridiculously smart, hopefully they can figure something else out here, these RFP's aren't working for 'em. -

Proposed pay scale for Colgan Q400's
My understanding is pay used to be partly based on miles, so a faster aircraft generated a higher pay rate when translated to hourly pay. Some of the old, old timers on here could chime in about the validity of that though. -

Delta RFP awarded....
Contract pilots pay for their types. Do they PFT? No. SWA isn't a PFT operator. The check those pilots write to get their type doesn't go into the SWA coffers. In addition, once on property SWA pays their new hire pilots and puts them thru their own indoc/systems/sim etc. SWA and Gulfstream are... -

Future Regional Pilots
Actually I think that's under "Aircraft Flown". Although in your defense he did a bad job of delineating that. Good thing you're not an interviewer though ;). -

CRJ Drivers, Cowl Anti Ice Q
well I'm obviously just too slow for the rapid pace of this thread. i'm out. -

CRJ Drivers, Cowl Anti Ice Q
Was there a ## for the temp? Sometimes being in line the preceeding a/c's exhaust bumps it out. -

Cargo Conversion
That would've been an AWAC pilots' wet dream 2 years ago!! -

Why MAPD?
make $$ on MAPD? The college probably makes some ka-ching but not Mesa. At one point last year they were paying over $4/gal for 100LL and the A36 was billing for around $120/hr. That's 15-20 GPH @ $4/gal. Hardly making money off of that. Also, there were paying instructors on overtime 20% more... -

Proof that mainline hates gojet!
Why has it taken this long for carriers to implement this? AWAC has a contract signed in 2001 with this same language. -

Pray this doesn't happen
If I could apply/interview with qantas with an FAA ATP I'd do it in a heartbeat. The women is canadian and I was looking at AC's req's but they too require a transport canada ATP. That could be done but I don't know if I could actually move to Canada. I enjoy making fun of her side of the family... -

Pray this doesn't happen
The thing that sucks is you have to have an aussie license to apply to qantas. I don't want to drop how many thousands with the chance of an interview. (born in penrith, now flying in the US for a 121 carrier) -

Who is hiring and do I stand a chance?
I did a double take but then realized we got our yearly 1.5% pay bump a few days ago. Add to that another $0.10 in per diem. Yay, I'm rich. Are they hiring that much? It looks like just 4-6 per month.- wheelsup

ExpressJet and the mystery 69 airplanes!
I won't discuss on the public board. Check your PM's. I think we can all admit corporate/135 stuff pays significantly better than the regionals, especially with the bigger equipment. -

ExpressJet and the mystery 69 airplanes!
Looks to me like ExpressJet will become the Go! of the 135 world... The company that had that mid-air in Brazil starts their legacy FO's at $85k/yr. -

Qx Dal RFP
So you're saying you went to horizon expecting growth and a quick upgrade? Seriously? You sacrificed upgrade for higher starting QOL and pay. -

Pinnacle, pilots union meet with mediators
Remember what mesa did with freedom? They "took one for the team" and signed a crappy contract to get scope. History repeats itself... -
