    Commuters in Iah and parking

    I usually park at concourse A, but I'll park wherever the 10-7 page tells me to. ;)

    iPad flight bags?

    Sorry, I don't remember his name. My FO was in the test program, and he showed and read to me the entire email verbatim, so I can at least say it was real.

    iPad flight bags?

    Apparently two reasons...first, Microsoft's unit is cheaper; second, the MS unit apparently is more customizable by an IT department. So they can have more control over passwords, preloaded software, maybe even blocking software to keep pilots from watching porn at 370. I'm with you, though, I...

    iPad flight bags?

    Expressjet will start this spring. I just saw the official email from the program manager (from one of the test pilots), and they are still planning on mid to late April for the rollout. It will be a MS Surface 3, to be issued to every pilot. I got to see the Surface 2 in action, and although...

    Any news at Skyway

    Okay, I just want to know how you have access to all the old threads. I used to be able to see 20-30 pages of threads, but nowadays there's only exactly 2 pages to look at. Are any of you seeing anything different?

    Some questions regarding check rides....

    Regional, 14 years, CRJ, 9000-10,0000 hours. 1. I usually start about a month prior. For some reason I can't do a lick of studying until I see the actual date, so I can mentally start figuring exactly how much time I have left. Not sure about total hours, but maybe in the ballpark of 10-20? 2...

    Former ALPA EVP arrested for child molestation.

    Considering that even just the charge of child molestation can ruin a person for the rest of their life, I think this is one of those cases where newspapers shouldn't even run stories about accusations, until there is a verdict. Innocent until proven guilty, and that includes a person's...

    Bahamas customs / security

    I did a quick-turn to Freeport about a month ago, and didn't have to deplane. It's all pretty standard as far as I know.

    Where is your $5000 bonus?

    Excellent point! The airlines are implementing a variation of the B-scale, the "A+" scale. Back in the mid-eighties, ALPA decided that fighting the creation of the B-scale concept (at United) was the hill they were ready to die on, as the tactic would effectively immediately destroy all pilot...

    name changes

    Ironic that the image contains a grammatical error itself and somehow references others being stupid. :-)

    Oops!

    The link doesn't work, but a "pilot shortage" search shows a WSJ article about it published on Feb 3 2014. My dad gets the real paper version and he called me to mention it yesterday.

    Private pilot written exam question, i know wrong forum but...

    I seem to recall that Gleim test prep books were decent. Is he really dislexic? Would he have problems landing on runway 23 instead of 32?

    Selling ourselves short

    Yeah, we (mgmt) had pretty much trashed ASA's reputation as well. I know my decision on that vote included which name had the better reputation!

    Selling ourselves short

    Exactly, but it's only because they assume safety is a given, because they assume they are flying on Delta airlines. If they were actually given the information to be able to choose between a flight flown with a very low experienced crew at a bottom-feeder, or a more experienced crew at a more...

    I am Confused, Should I Right it Up?

    Unfortunately the law is in contradiction with itself, which makes all of us criminals if we write everything up, or criminals if we fail to write everything up. Once again I can blame government for just about everthing that is wrong with this industry (and every other industry for that matter).

    Selling ourselves short

    The plane looks like a Delta plane, and my company's name is now in microscopic 12pt type. I can barely read it during a walk-around--trust me, no pax can read it. The "operated by" on the ticket is also much smaller than the DELTA and is not intended to be focused on. Trust me, if the...

    Selling ourselves short

    Big problem with your strategies here--one of the biggest bottom feeders of them all IS a wholly owned. You have touched on one of the biggest roots of our problem, though--misrepresentation by the majors to their passengers. I would call it downright fraud when my major partner prohibits me...

    Veiled threat is lead article on xjt.com

    Maybe I've missed others, but this is the first time I've seen an industry news article posted as the "headline" article for us to read. Seems a little mafia-like, if you ask me. [/FONT][/COLOR]

    XJT ALPA Silence

    This line from the email really stood out for me: "Both MECs are meeting in a special session today in Atlanta, working on a plan that sets us on a course toward addressing your concerns and building a future single contract." Why weren't our concerns addressed the first time around? The MEC...

    Skywest/ExpressJet plan

    The ALPA guys are specifically claiming that the pilot group costs at SkyW are lower than XJT, both in current contracts and comparing the two TAs. I don't have access to all the financial analysis experts they do, but either someone is lying, or our higher labor costs are offset by some other...
