    Flight Training

    ........ Not sure why everyone here thinks that being a doctor/lawyer is the key to happiness and QOL?.......You guys must not have many friends in that field......Flying might not be the career it once was, but just blindly assuming one must go to some sort of medical career to have a decent...

    "Janet" G550

    Some of these jobs really aren't as mysterious as one would think-----More like, six legs a day, hand-loading thousands of pounds of flat-rate boxes of christmas cookies, protein powder, and N.OExplode supplements to fly out to the FOB's........And unfortunately the only folks XE is torturing...

    Have you ever . . .

    ...... Ha, yes. What a terrible experience, but it was so bad that I had to start laughing. Lost a nice pair of slacks in that deal as well.........

    DynCorp International

    ..... Lai Thai?...The one on the old ISAF area?...not sure, it was good though, if we had extra ground time we'd run over there....they also had the same place but out in the city of kabul as well, same good food.....

    DynCorp International

    ....oakb 1900 I know and flew with a few of the guys who are down in Kabul now, just getting their 1900's in country, I think it's for the Dyncorp/State gig (could be wrong, correct me if I am...sometimes the actual details get tangled in the vortex...?)....I think they mentioned an initial...

    Dynamic Aviation

    ..... Good friend of mine used to fly C-12's for them in Iraq, doing ISR work. He mentioned pay was something along the lines of $525/day, something like that. He did have his issues with the joint. Pay was actually a tad on a lower side for these types of operations, at least on the pilot...

    Qne, qfe, qnh, wtf?

    ............. I second that-----My first trip into Moscow we tried to be different and use what we were used to, BIG mistake!----especiallly since the weather was down to min's on the approach......Kempinski Hotel across from Red Square was real nice though!......

    Kathmandu info, please!

    ....... Don't give away all the secrets!!!.....Some of the fun/adventure of overseas flying (outside of a major/121/etc) is getting to the destination without all the required stuff and having to deal with it on the fly!........

    Hand flying vs. Autopilot

    ........ I do the same thing, but with propellers!.....Na, j/k (sort of?)....but I do use all available, that I can access within reason,......Once an old and gray guy told me the runway I just left behind me was the exact amount I was going to run off the end by....it's always in the back of...

    5 ways to save money becoming a professional pilot

    ..... How do you think you would have reacted if someone tried to talk you out of aviation when you were younger, told you to just forget it and go be a doc or a lawyer (I know it was different back then)...But you woulda told them to go piss off.......Plus you gotta have some sort of a desire...

    Hand flying vs. Autopilot

    .... I see a decent amount of people who get really spooled-up and make posts over guys who wanna use as much runway as they can for takeoff....I mean who cares, he/she is staying on the safe/conservative end of things...(no matter what their real intentions are).... trust me, it could be a...

    XJT forces 47 PAX to sleep aboard aircraft in Rochester, MN?

    ..... And? The 727 is a nice bird, but that jet lust wears off in about 12 to 17 seconds. Have fun with that pal. Ill take my six figure income (after taxes) made while flying an underpowered turboprop. (And over 4 months off a year) Keep on poking your head in that weather with pax on...

    XJT forces 47 PAX to sleep aboard aircraft in Rochester, MN?

    .... So you've never had that last little clear alley way in the red/yellow band close up on you in a split second?....Sounds like in all your "freight doggin" you never really came around much T-storm activity. Remember your not back in your najavo flying boxes, so at some point giving the...

    FAA will begin random ramp and line checks @ mesaba starting 7/27/09

    ....... You can't seriously believe that an aircraft going missed once and a while actually causes companies to downsize and people to lose their jobs, do you?......Your aircraft and pax waiting a few minutes for airspace to clear literally has no effect on anything whatsoever. I think you...

    Saudi Airlines

    ..... Oh those items are around, just have to know where to go/who to ask.....When was the last time you tasted home-brewed grain alcohol?...;)

    Help this SJS kid before it is too late.....

    ..... Ahh come on, RJ Copilot...Give the guy a break, i'm sure you had some form of SJS at some point in your career, I don't think i've met a pilot who didn;t to some degree....

    Great lakes furloughs.... $ for approach charts

    ..... I am currently immersed in the "only one set of plates" arrangement now in my 2 crew plane. I would much rather go with my previous 121 norm, to having both guys have a plate attached to the yoke to look at, but what are ya gonna do I guess?...when in rome...... Once you leave most of...

    Tool Eagle Pilot on Bachelorette show...

    ..... Oh come on. We all have guilty TV pleasures we indulge in when no one's looking. Don't be embarassed you watch that show, who cares?... I've been on a "Millionare Matchmaker" kick recently. Good sh**. Gotta let those insecurities go, you've only got a limited amount of time left on this...

    Should an ATP be required for both pilots?

    ........ Na, that one wouldn't work in practice. I think you'd be cancelling out a bunch of other quality guys that were brought up through different channels. It is good to be exposed to several different types of aviation-avenues to make you well rounded I supposed, but making CFI/IP time...
