    Call to Action... Our futures

    The previous question was "do I work there?" As in present tense. The answer was, and is "no". You don't like the message so you want to shoot the messenger. I understand that is your style. I'll tell you and everyone else why I am so adamant about my views. When I was a young F.O...

    Call to Action... Our futures

    I don't even know why I respond to crap like this, but I know that Sniper is a troll here on FI and since he said some inaccurate things it needs a response. I did work for Emirates, but not anymore. I have never "blew the whistle on the IRS for expats". Where the heck did you get that...

    Call to Action... Our futures

    I would agree with you on that last part. It would be great if the U.S. government helped the U.S. compete more effectively. There is a number of ways they can do that; lower taxes, helped negotiate more route rights, etc. All of which are win-win scenarios for the American public and the...

    Call to Action... Our futures

    Do we call the $1.3 billion runway that the city of Atlanta built for Delta a "subsidy"? Do we call The PBGC taking over the pensions of USAir and Delta a "subsidy"? Do we call the hundreds of millions of dollars that the U.S. government gave (literally gave) to the U.S. airlines post 9-11 as...

    Call to Action... Our futures

    Nope, don't work for one of the ME3. A very common misunderstanding, the Dubai CAA is not the regulator for the airlines in the UAE. The UAE GCAA is the regulator for the airlines in the UAE. The Dubai CAA simply looks after airport infrastructure and such. It has no authority for pilot...

    Call to Action... Our futures

    ......and there is the post that shows a severe lack of information. 1) Emirates does not operate 737s. 2) Ex-Im makes a profit so how exactly is that "your tax subsidies"? 3) Interjet and Volaris in Mexico only pay 1/3 of the salaries that the Middle East carriers pay and they already fly to...

    Call to Action... Our futures

    The Maginot line worked real well too ;). Protectionism = the strategy of the foolish. If you would stop buying into the ALPA garbage on these topics and actually go out in the world to see what is happening you might then realize that the U.S. airline management is, once again, being...

    Alaska or United?

    Look at the reality of the competitive marketplace. Alaska is going to get destroyed by Delta in Seattle. Long term Alaska is a dying airline. That makes the choice United without question. United is the first U.S. airline to intelligently use the B787 to serve a secondary city in...

    TransAsia Airways LCC Start Up ?

    Yea, good luck with those requirements :erm:. So they want local Taiwanese from Taiwanese parents only, not transplanted mainlanders who came over with Chiang Kai Shek and can't speak Taiwanese, who have A320 type ratings and 1000 hours total time. There could actually be one or two of...

    British Airways Hiring Pilots

    Not sure, but my educated speculation is that even if it is still running it's expensive while DEC F.O.s are much cheaper to employ. They probably want a balance. One thing to keep in mind is that BA went from age 55 mandatory retirement to age 65. That ten year stagnation period has not...

    British Airways Hiring Pilots

    British Airways has historically had their own cadet program, but from time to time will hire 'Direct Entry" First Officers. I'm guessing this advertisement is for the "Direct Entry" First Officers position. I think a lot of young British kids would be interested in this as a career...

    Ethiopian Airlines trying to use the Irish back door

    The pilots are not necessarily Norwegian nationals. The B787s that are flying to the States, and have been since last year are flown by the same flight deck crew that they always have been. The assets were just shifted to a different certificate to enable the LGW flying to commence. Would...

    Recent Interview Prep

    Going back a couple of decades one of the majors had a stated goal of 1/3 corporate, 1/3 military, 1/3 airline for new hire classes. So it can happen. TP

    Norwegian Air vs ALPA

    Norwegian's captain pay is around $14,000/month. So you are saying that all North American carriers that fly across the Atlantic pay north of $28,000/month for similar size aircraft? There might be rational arguments against Norwegian's business model, but you guys have got to stop following...

    Chinese Pilot Pay Parity With Expats

    I think the problem is that some of the agencies have started advertising the pre-tax package in order to entice pilots over with big numbers ( over $300,000/year ). If I was a Chinese pilot and saw that, I'd be pretty pissed off as well. I'd be asking my company why they don't pay my...

    B777 Captains

    QAR = Quick Access Recorder It records the aircraft parameters during the course of a flight. Each airline can configure ways to read it that generate trigger events, i.e. Greater than 250 KIAS below 10,000 feet, gear not down by 1500 feet AAL, speed greater than Vref + 20 below 1000 feet AAL...
