    Comair Future Uncertain ... Again

    Sad to hear all this but I jumped ship at Comair five years ago. The writing was on the wall back then. It's been a slow painful death. Good luck to everyone still there.

    ISA +35 in DEN

    EFIS tubes? ISA + 35 is a take off performance limitation. Higher altitudes and temperatures result in less wing efficiencies, longer take off rolls, etc. This limitation makes sure you can achieve the climb segments the aircraft was certified for.

    ISA +35 in DEN

    ISA is 15 degrees at sea level and decreases 2 degrees every 1000 feet. Denver is 5431 feet above sea level. The easy way is to set the altimeter to 29.92 and read what it says. If it's 5431 then use 5500. At 5500 feet ISA is 4 degrees. (15 - 11 = 4). Your temperature limit for take off...

    Senate, House Agree to Sixfold Boost in Airline Pilots' Flight Experience

    "As for the Colgan accident, the FO may have been inexperienced but that had nothing to do with the accident. The problem came about due to the inexperience of the Captain, not the FO, and he had way more than 1500 hours." While I agree and stated in my post that the captain did create this...

    Senate, House Agree to Sixfold Boost in Airline Pilots' Flight Experience

    "The National Transportation Safety Board this year said Colgan Captain Marvin Renslow caused the crash by incorrectly responding to a stall warning in the cockpit." While Marvin Renslow did not monitor the situation after the gear was lowered and airspeed decreased it appears he did respond...

    Question for 737 NG Drivers

    Apparently the Space Shuttle only needs around 9000' as well. Granted they don't land it in the rain and some distances were longer. STS-1 April 14, 1981, 10:20:57 a.m. PST, Runway 23, Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Rollout distance: 8,993 feet. Rollout time: 60 seconds. Landing Weight...

    Old New Helicopter Pilot

    I'm an ex-airline guy and luckily had this helicopter rating to fall back on. You're gonna need any where from 1500-2500 PIC hours and most tour operators will want at least 1000 hours turbine PIC. Some of the offshore helicopter operators like Petroleum Helicopters and Air Logistics will put...

    vote "COLBERT" space station room name

    Although I love "The Colbert Report!", NASA has this posted on their website. The name should reflect the spirit of exploration and cooperation embodied by the space station, and follow in the tradition set by Node 1- Unity- and Node 2- Harmony. Steve needs to get busy promoting more Unity...

    A-Star clobbered by Geese

    I wanna hear that ATC conversation! "N350BH is declaring an emergency! I need vectors to the closest XXX Adult Store immediately!" Must have been an Army Aviator. Well done!

    Comair Sched with iPhone

    When I was there I would type my schedule into Outlook on my laptop. Then sync it onto my iPhone by connecting the phone to the computer. Click on the iphone icon, then click on the info tab, click on Sync Outlook Calenders, then click apply. I don't think Comair will allow access directly to...

    JFK Needs More RJ'S

    When I was at Comair, the then Chief Pilot SB told us during upgrade training that Delta would routinely swap slot times with mainline flights and hold Comair flights on the ground. This would give Delta a better on time performance and then he said, "quite frankly nobody expects great service...

    Looks Like COMAIR

    Comair Management can't even throw a company Christmas party correctly. Right before I left they sent a memo out for the December 2007 company Christmas party. Anybody remember this one? The date for the party I believe was January 4, 2008. (Give or take a day or two) Yep January. Then they...

    Numbers on a helipad

    If the numbers were painted like this: 22 54 The top number indicates the weight limit of the helipad. The bottom number indicates the length of the sides in feet. Gotta keep those rotorblades out of the trees, buildings etc. Also, if the helipad is elevated (like offshore on a oil platform)...

    Your favorite JFK moment....

    My favorite JFK moment was when I finished up my last trip. I gave my Captain's hat to some kid on the plane. I commuted home in first class and quit the airline industry. Ahhhhh life is good!

    Comair confident of staying connected to Delta (Article - May 29)

    "In an economic environment that is certainly difficult,any measure of growth is good news," Comair spokesman Kate Marx said."This demonstrates the critical role Comair plays for Delta." Somebody please tell Kate that until Comair gets back the 169ish jets they had before it's not growth...

    Delta Buddy Passes Request

    Not that it matters, but here are some real numbers and info. Since I didn't know the dates or city pairs I just picked JFK-GRU and used Feb 13th and 20th as the travel dates. And here's what ya get. Delta Airlines nonstop roundtrip for 2 people is $1838 total price with taxes etc. 10 hours 15...

    Ornstein says he might have a hard time finding employees........

    I'm in upgrade training currently at OH and the heads of state keep telling us that the 250 hour new hire pilot is just right around the corner. Cant imagine why anyone wouldn't want to get in this career field right now? :pimp:

    Comair motion to prevent pilot strike extended til the 9th.

    I dont think he will let the pilots strike. Why rule the company can impose their work rules and pay cuts on us and then let us strike? Of course that is just my opinion. Comair is in court for two things -- to seek clarification of whether certain provisions of his earlier ruling may be...
