    "Dead" spots for voice communication?

    The dead spot is between your Trumpist ears.

    Hainan Airlines

    Surely not. They are on track for a major hull looss, mostly for what you could call "airline theater" in which companies focus on things that look good in advertising and reports to higher management. Airlines in the PRC rely on rote learning and rigid surveillance and enforcement. No joke...

    Germanwings Crash. Why No Fires present ??

    What 2000Easyguy said. Not satellite, but the mode S transponder data. There is a large network around the world of computer and radio hobbyists monitoring ADS-B signals. Many are sophisticated enough to do multilateration and also network with flightradar24 and other services. They can get...

    Hainan Airlines

    Hainan Airlines is one of the better jobs in China. Do plenty of research before you get serious about the job, though. Beyond NEDude's comments, I would add that management culture, ATC, scheduling, robotic copilots, and "life in China" should be considered. You will make money, but the...

    China's New 'Unrestricted Takeoff' Policy Creates More Problems Than It Solves

    Don't be fooled by this state controlled media hype. Flow control has been replaced by flow control plus reroutes. PLA air ops still gobble huge volumes of airspace. On top of that, flights are getting speed restrictions and non-optimal altitudes. There are still too few airways within a too...

    757 Study Material

    There's a CBT collection for the 737, 757, and 777 called "Jet Jock Linux" that is quite good. Has authentic CBTs, FMS trainers, walkarounds, and manuals. It is a "boot disc" meaning you load it into your computer's optical drive and reboot - Presto! There's a temporary new desktop with all...

    Southwest won.

    It has been over five years, and I am happy to report that I have STILL not come close to considering work at Scabtran. In addition, the BORG (Southwest) are not an option worthy of my talents and skills. Why join a company that orchestrated the destruction of my last job? The US airline...

    Bootable 737 and 757 Training DVD

    Hello all, If anyone out there is missing their 757 or 737 CBT discs, or would like an easy to use consolidation both (with the last set of ATA manuals), here it is. A bootable "Live - Linux" DVD containing manuals as well as systems, walkaround, and FMST programs all-in-one. Simply reboot...

    Free TYPEs for ATA

    Here's another angle on this. Are we (in the USA) a government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite? Or a government of the people, by the people, and for the people? It seems to me that if the "laws of the land" allow the elite to operate billion dollar corporations irresponsibly...

    Free TYPEs for ATA

    WTF...more pilot cannibalism. Should all of us who were thinking of staying in this industry turn around and go work at Wal-Mart so apache and his friends don't have to compete with us for jobs?? If I didn't have such a bad attitude, I would go walk in front of a train and thereby save him...

    Business Express - Any Ck Airmen Here?

    Karma points to you, Flyby1206...I'll have a look in there.

    Business Express - Any Ck Airmen Here?

    Hi Cardinal - Thanks for checking in...looking for any of the pilots who worked in the offices or the sims.

    Business Express - Any Ck Airmen Here?

    Hi folks, I'm looking for leads to any former BEX check airmen or managers on the board. Please PM me if you're on here.

    Wow

    Great clip! JFK's an interesting place to listen, especially on foggy Friday evenings. Then, it seems every airline has aircraft trying to get out at the same time. One hilarious, typically New Yorkish call went out one night when the field had been at nearly a standstill due to bad...

    Question on A.I.M. procedure;

    It's great to see such a long string literate and coherent comments on a subject so pertinent to users of the national airspace system. The small details of communication do matter...I see much of this relating to enhancing situational awareness of both pilots and controllers, and augmenting...

    Bad news, NWA parking 59 aircraft

    Watch out, open skies is coming too...pressure on jobs and wages is likely to stay, thanks to increased competition from the EU airlines.

    CAL--This can't be real...

    This is proof that a room full of pilots can't agree on anything. It's like having a roof full of cats and expecting consensus on the question of tuna vs friskies...we love to argue. As a jetliner pilot who plans to live to a ripe old age, my belief is that you can't be surely free of...

    F9 3 Qtr. loss

    Hang tough, Frontier people. Stormy WX happens, but you are a mighty fine airline. Summer's coming and I hope you haul lots of passengers and make enough greenbacks to keep F9 running hard.

    Pinnacle family members sue NWA!

    These guys don't know either...They're having a party pissing on gravestones, fellating both Bombardier and GE, and engaging in pilot cannibalism. May the dead rest peacefully in the next world - they've left the bullcrap behind in this one.

    Families of Pilots Killed File Lawsuit

    It's open season... Actually, I don't have time for more of this crap. We'll have to agree to disagree. Maybe I'll find out who is representing the families and send them a few greenbacks to help push the process along. It's more effective than trying to change opinions of incorrigible...
