    Indigo

    Ralph Ralph Hubbel was not the reason any pilots left USA Jet. They left because they wanted to. Oh, sure, they may have said it was because of Ralph, but here's what really happened: Those who were disgruntled with Ralph's management style, were so because it cramped their own. Ralph simply...

    Classic Interview Question

    Take over If the captain decides to go below mins with nothing in sight, take over the aicrcraft and get the hell out of there! Not only is this the correct answer on for any self-respecting airline's interview, it's the only thing you, as a self-respecting individual, should do. How dare...

    Could Jumpseating ever come to an end?

    Save-a-seat As far as the jumpseat dilemma is concerned, I believe (but hey, that's just me) that the carriers who are truly concerned about the moral health of their employee force should reserve at least two seats in the back (1 pilot, 1 FA) for commuters. One of the reasons we selected this...

    Does AVOLAR have hiring min's?

    Avolar pilot recruiting Hey, Gumby, I was just wondering why Avolar (with their upcoming need for literally thousands of pilots) hasn't made a substantial recruiting effort to fill the slots (even if it is a little early). Are they receiving enough replies without openly advertising? I just...

    First Officer Program...rip off or good

    Prostitution As long as there are those who are willing to either pay for the right seat or do it for free, then the industry will always be a breeding ground for low paying, dangerous jobs (single-engine, night, icing conditions, IFR, flying cancelled checks for $1200/month). Those pilots who...

    AVOLAR Interview

    O.K., If it was the Sam Adams doing the talking, then, no harm, no foul. I can understand the propensity for his consumption in these goofy times. P.S. Grammer is grammar. Sorry, couldn't help myself :D

    AVOLAR Interview

    Hey, Rufus, It would appear by your post that you are employed by Avolar because you referenced it as "this" crap hole, implying you were there. Otherwise, you should have said,"that" crap hole. If you do work there, how the Hell did you get the job???? Your interpersonal, grammatical and...

    Job Situation

    CFI ride I'll never forget the day I took my CFI checkride with the FAA. I walked across the ramp to the local GADO and presented myself for the ride. After completing it successfully, I returned to the FBO to which I had given countless dollars to complete my training (not to mention the...

    Favorite Aircraft

    Mig gig Yeah, I saw the thing on the Mig rides for sale (I guess Russia's really hard up) but considering that an American civilian paid $10 million for a trip to the space station, it's probably out of my reach. Well, I guess I'm gonna do the next best thing.....roll a Falcon (don't tell my...

    Favorite Aircraft

    Thanks for the input Thanks, Boeingman. I appreciate your support and hope that someday the military will get their heads out of the sand and realize that those criteria are ridiculous. I grew up in the Air Force (my dad was a 52 a/c) and started flying when I was 15. By the time I got to the...

    Favorite Aircraft

    I'm sorry I'm sorry, Boeingman. I just thought you were shaking your head while leaving the promo film in a manner of envy for those who got to fly the F-15. I was just pointing out that I think you were very fortunate for having gotten to fly fighters. It is I who is truly envious and...

    Favorite Aircraft

    Superimpose Hey, Boeingman, If it helps to curb your wonderlust, superimpose the altimeter of your F-4 onto the instrument panel of your Boeing. No contest. And, oh yeah, superimpose the afterburner onto the tailpipes of same. And, oh yeah, superimpose the sound of those ABs onto your...

    Let the rebuttals begin...

    Gotta love it I just gotta tell you guys how entertaining it is to watch these threads develop. I've seen this one go from a 9/11 discussion to a political bombasting in the blink of an eye. Sheesh, you guys are sensitive. Hey, man, we're all in this together so stop your name-calling and get...

    Favorite Aircraft

    "A Plane-a-Day-in-Tampa-Bay" The B-26 Martin Martin Marauder is my favorite airplane (not because I flew it) because my dad flew it at age 23 during WWII and survived his training and 25 combat missions only to return safely and procreate me. And , oh yeah, those "ironing board" wings were just...

    Call signs?

    While "Justice" is the appropriate call sign for the US Justice Dept. when ferrying deportees or criminals, USA Jet Airlines' call sign is Jet USA and the radar tag (JUS) is often confused by the controllers (especially in Mexico) as Justice. We really get a lot of respect down there if they...

    When do YOU get out of bed?

    When do I get up?????????? Exactly 8 nanoseconds after that freakin' pager goes off....which is exactly 10 hours after I sign in to crew rest. Oh, yeah. I guess that means I have a job and I'm very grateful for that. I just can't wait for things to return to normal again, that is if they ever...

    Electricity 101 Question

    A/C batteries First of all, since your batteries are lead/acid, there are no special precautions associated with charging them other than those you would take with a car battery. NiCads, on the other hand require special charging circuits to protect their "memory." But since that's not the...

    Avolar

    Avolar schedules Not really sure about longterm schedules but one guy said that until they meet their staffing needs, the schedules aren't going to be as "attractive' as the other fracs. But at least you'll have a schedule........Beets a beeper anyday!

    Does anyone know the time frame for receiving a response from Avolar once they receive your resume (assuming you're qualified)?
