ALPA should take some of the ASA bonus money and start a jager-bomb fund for this guy. Maybe the Riddle guy with the new hair cut can become his wingman so they can work their game together.
The word is official, Ameristar's new schedule is 5 on, 2 off, plus every fourth weekend you have to work through Saturday and Sunday, making that week a 12 day straight stretch. This basically works out to 32 days more work per year, with no increase in pay or vacation to compensate. This is...
Hey, for those of you who travel to Mexico, Canada, or the PR you may be interested in this new calling plan from Verizon. No roaming or long distance from the above countries and it's only about $10 more a month then the nationwide plan with the same amount of minutes...
I just heard this morning from the FDSO that starting immediately non US citizens will not be able to receive any pilot certificates. Anyone here any details about this or know what is going on?
Does any entity keep track of how many CFIs are out there? Also, do they separate those into groups of those that are actively teaching, and those that are just renewing every two years to keep their certificate?
Thanks.
What's the difference between Final, Fact, and Prel NTSB accident report? If an accident has changed to Fact, is it finished or will they ever come up with a probable cause?
I've only flown with an autopilot a few times. I was wondering if autopilots do a good job of flying the aircraft in turbulence, or if a human can do a better job?
Is there going to be some kind of celebration out at Kitty Hawk for flying's one-hundred year birthday? Anyone ever been to the airport there? I was thinking of going out there this summer, is there anything worth seeing?
Does anyone know where I can get the weather charts shown in the Aviation Weather Services book? Obviously you can't get them over the phone from the briefer, and I don't see how to get them from duats. The FSS isn't anywhere near so that's out too.
Is furlough protection something worth bargaining for in the future? In the worst case scenario management will use the unusual circumstances to get around that clause in the contract, such as the current situation at United. In the future pilots may be better off trading no furlough clauses for...
So how long, on average does it take for the NTSB to finalize an accident report. Also, if you don't think their conclusion is correct, can you fight it? I've got one pending, and I'm so looking forward to the final coming out.
If anyone has a few minutes I was hoping that they could give me some answers to a few questions I have about the ANG:
1. How competitive is it really? Does the type of aircraft make a difference, for example, are F-16s harder to get then KC-135s? What factors into getting an interview, and...
