    Delta connection crashpad question

    Could any of you guys kindly recommend a cheap crashpad in the DTW area? Army barracks style bunks no problem (like I have a choice). I have a car there, so can help others out with transportation. Please PM me if you can recommend something. Thanks in advance amigos!

    Anyone on this forum let their CFI lapse- and got them reinstated?

    I let my CFI/II/MEI lapse a few years back (still kicking myself), and will need to get reinstated. I haven't flown anything with a fan on the front for about 7 years- anyone else been there? I'd like to work with a local instructor/flight school to get some dual, then find an examiner for the...

    Any ex-Saturn/TIA Herc drivers out there?

    Wow, cool story. I wonder if I met that guy- sounds oddly familiar. Saturn/TIA did some unique flying. I remember in the early 80s one of their Hercs was destroyed on the ground in Angola during the diamond wars- or whatever they were fighting over at the time. The crew was taken hostage and...

    Air Tahoma.

    How long should a pilot have flown there to be considered an alum? I was there for about 5-6 months on the 580, then I went to a pax carrier as street capt. The pax outfit went TU a few months later- talk about bad karma. I think I met the crew from the CVG crash just before leaving AT...

    Any ex-Saturn/TIA Herc drivers out there?

    Just wondering if any Saturn or TIA alum are out there- flying or not. I met alot of the guys when I was a kid and dad flew the Hercs. BTW, he went from Aaxico to Saturn to TIA to TransAm & retired before the company folded.

    Checkride Qs

    During simulator checkrides, multiple unrelated systems malfunctions are generally avoided. At least that's been my experience. A total electrical failure combined with an unrelated hydraulic loss would be a bit extreme on a checkride, I'm sure all would agree. I'm wondering though, where in the...

    Returning to the US scenario

    If you mean, for example, a guy who flies for Cathay and is able to reside in the US, I think he's okay. However, if he moves to Hong Kong, becomes an expat resident (foreign address, US tax exempt status, ect.) then he/she is subject to the rule. That's how I understand it.

    Returning to the US scenario

    I've done some searches on this topic, but haven't found much info. In a nutshell, you've been residing overseas as an expatriate, and you return to the States, then you'll have to spend at least 5 consecutive years here before you can fly with a carrier that does postal or other US...

    OCONUS 5 year rule

    I've done some searches on it, with no luck. If you've spent any amount time residing overseas as an expat, and you return to the States, then you'll have to wait 5 years before you can apply with any carrier doing US postal contracts, such as FDX. This also applies to ACMI carriers doing...

    Any former CoEx ATR drivers in the house?

    Just wondern' how you liked the airplane (from a pilot's standpoint), and whether you think it'll make a 'comeback' here as 50 seat RJs get parked over the next few years. They seem kinda popular overseas. :pimp:

    Good AME in Houston area

    Thanks, I might try Butler. Will stay away from Tomball. Right on target! It's best to have a doc who'll back you up incase something pops up down the road. Someone who knows the paperwork, ect. Thanks. Any other docs to recommend?

    Good AME in Houston area

    I posted this under medical- but nooo response. So, can anybody recommend a 'fair and balanced' AME in HOU? Preferably west side, or Katy area. It'll be a class one with EKG. Thanks in advance.

    Need a good AME in Houston

    Hi, I'm looking for a fair and balanced AME (preferably a fellow pilot) in Houston. Katy area or West HOU would be best. I'm getting a class 1. Thanks.

    Mvg to HOU- help

    Kids yes. So, maybe Friendswood, or somewhere else in the burbs. The Heights sounds pretty cool, although I've heard it can be a little 'spensive.

    Mvg to HOU- help

    Hi, any recommendations on where to live in Houston area? I'm finally getting back into flying- after having taken a hit, and I'm looking for something affordable. Probably rent first, buy later. Will work out of Hobby. If you know of any pilot friendly landlords I'd much appreciate it. Thx.

    Four Star

    Agreed. 4- Star, in it's present state, sounds like a place to stay the @#$% away from! I'm curious though, how do those guys (Everts, and until recently NAC) keep those old DC-6s and C-46s going. From a distance- those airplanes look pretty well taken care of. Whereas down around MIA, the round...

    Four Star

    Roger on all the above. The last cargo outfit I saw that took halfway decent care of their -3s was Rhoades. They had an oldish guy work on them, sometimes falling asleep on his ladder, but he really cared for those engines. Their piston Convairs were a different story though.
