    Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

    Ah yes. They did provide great returns and tangible benefits for *their* membership during the TWA Merger. I'm sure you can look forward to more of the same during this SLI.

    UPS Airbus down in Birmingham

    Read Advisory Circular 120-71A and get back to us. 3.2 degree glidepath and 140kts approximate groundspeed for this approach results in 792 FPM.

    Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

    This is why the "benevolent overlords" at APA which you guys love so much want so desperately to make sure you have your very own seat at the table despite the judge ruling otherwise. "Just enough rope" comes to mind.

    Pilots and obomacare

    Before "Oboma Care" (sic) they could just cancel your insurance anyway since there was no requirement that employers provide health insurance for anybody. They did it because employees demanded/negotiated it. That hasn't changed. That said, my understanding of the ACA definition of full time...

    Plane crash Aspen

    Wow, thanks for posting. From the video, appears to be a "classic" nosewheel bounce and porpoise, high bounce, and crash. Second thing that stands out, is you can see the snow blowing across the ramp. Was certainly windy and gusty.

    SWA virtual bases?

    Since you guys are getting the 4g, version, check out T-Mobile. They don't advertise it heavily, for obvious reasons, but you can buy a sim card for $.99 and activate a free data account, 200mb per month for "the life of the tablet". 200mb isn't much but it's enough for occasional use, emails...

    SWA virtual bases?

    You can do better. Lame. SWA = Sliding Wintertime Arrivals. SWA = Some Wheelbarrow Airplanes. SWA = Somewhere West of Airport.

    Judge Silver issued her decision in Addington II

    'Cause he's from Charlotte. That's how they talk down there, doncha know? Probably doesn't want you bidding into his base. Stay away, nothing but rednecks and farm animals. Seriously, maybe it's just to remind y'll not to take anything posted on here too seriously. That said, Fester posts some...

    How is FAR 117 transition going

    Nu it's not just at regionals. At Airways we receive a message saying that if a pilot is unable to accept an extension, it requires a fatigue report. I don't think that reaches the level of "strong arming" since the fatigue policy is fairly generous. But it does require the paperwork, it's not a...

    Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

    That's like, your opinion, man. Seriously, even if I'm wrong about the election, it doesn't change anything materially so who cares. But I'm curious what makes you so sure of yourself. Do you have something to cite? In what way is the timeline going to be different? Do you have something...

    Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

    There probably will be a representational election. But it's a moot point. At some point, 3, 6, maybe 12 months from now the NMB will issue a single carrier finding. Then there's a 30 day waiting period during which petitions will be made as to why APA should be the new union (or ALPA, or the...

    Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

    Presumably you are referring to USAPA trying to force a DOH seniority list on the West without negotiating. Not going to rehash that for the millionth time here. There is a big difference in that MOU and M-B law requires negotiations and arbitration. Obviously negotiations, by definition...

    Goodbye usapa!!!!!!

    More to the point, APA cannot reach a negotiated SLI with itself. The concept makes the language of M-B and Allegheny nonsensical. I don't know the specific legal terms but it would be akin to entering into a contract with yourself. By definition it requires at least two parties, so I don't...

    Jetblue Lies About McCaskill-Bond Protections

    Judge Silver missed the mark in a lot of her ruling, but here you are misrepresenting her on top of that. The entire text makes clear that she is only talking about cases where a Certified Bargaining Agent exists. Where there is no certified bargaining agent, the text of M-B and the prior cases...

    SWA lands at wrong Branson Airport

    LiveATC.net doesn't cover KBBG, which is where the pertinent audio would be. There will be tower tapes, but those don't generally become public.

    Delta jet slips off runway taxiing in Wisconsin

    The official word "slid off the taxiway while taxiing after landing" doesn't seem to jive with their actual position, which is almost directly off the end of the 9000' runway and halfway to the perimeter fence. Seems either they landed long and fast, or they just carried too much speed in the...

    Is Mesa cat II certified?

    Rettofly, you must be talking private jets. That kind of thing doesn't fly in the airline world. They do something similar with re-dispatch enroute to save fuel on some flag routes, but never to launch for a destination that's illegal due to weather. I think the FAA would come down on that...

    AA pot-stir

    AA pay rates are set by the contract they signed last year, plus a bit more for the MOU which is about to become effective at the merger POR date (tomorrow), which have been posted on this board multiple times. There is no rumor involved, those pay rates are fact, and they aren't going to change...
