    example of an airport with ceiling required for an IAP

    Any place in Brazil. Elsewhere, they are few and far between.

    The posting is back. https://delta.greatjob.net/jobs/JobDescRequestAction.action?PSUID=2b1edaa2-e201-4899-afcc-a5b7db6d2afb Appears to be corrected. 3 years of experience required for external applicants. License only required for internal applicants. Good luck to all. Great place to work.

    Delta Posting

    It appears to have vanished for now. Check back, it has not come and gone. Should be open until 7/22. That system tends to be a little tempermental.

    So, what new procedures from the FAA?

    Agreed. They actually issued a SAFO back in January to that effect: http://www.faa.gov/other_visit/aviation_industry/airline_operators/airline_safety/safo/all_safos/media/2013/SAFO13002.pdf My carrier has been actively encouraging this since just before the SAFO was issued. Part of me...

    Delta Posting

    This is entry level dispatcher. Historically, a person is an assistant during training then upgrades shortly after. Rumor has it, this will be a rather large class. Assistant Flight Superintendent Requisition #: 178588 Atlanta, GA Welcome, and thank you for checking in about the...

    DL Assistant Flight Superintendent

    This is an Asst Dispatcher. You upgrade once done with training (4-6 months). Starting pay is around $4400/month and close to $5500/month after upgrade.

    Question for the DX brain trust...

    I can accept that pilot's opinion but only to a point. A B044 re-dispatch doesn't take into account lost comm nor do I think it should. Part of the reason they allow you to issue a reclearance 2 hours early is to account for difficult comms. Here's where I come from on that. Let's take the...

    Question for the DX brain trust...

    The practice you describe is fairly common in the 135/121 Supplemental world. I'm assuming you are filing the ATC flight plan to the destination you do not intend to operate to and diverting to the intended destination when it turns out to be OK. I work at a major now and did time at a large...

    DEFCON hacker illustrates flight plan vulnerability

    I think this guy is just trying to make a name for himself or maybe he is just ignorant. Many of the centers take their host computers down at night, and the work around used is invisible to controllers on the scopes/towers and pilots never no the difference. The network used for flight plan...

    ZJX & ZMA HI-Sector Cruise Altitudes

    They have simply turned cardinal flight levels north/south rather than east/west. This is done throughout Miami Center airspace over/near land in Florida, and JAX Center does it south of approximately a CRG-SZW line. Traffic flow over the Florida penninsula is 99% north/south, and a good number...

    Senate hearing re Regional airlines

    I'll try to make it sound FARish... "No person shall make human mistakes while acting as a required flight crew member of a transport category aircraft." I agree with the idea of raising the bar where hiring standards go, but the human element will always be there no matter what the...

    Comair is not going down any faster than any other airline!

    Thankfully, senior DAL management circa 2000-2001 is gone. They were just as much to blame (if you want to call it that) as anyone. Remember, negotiations were not going too well at Comair or Delta back then. I, for one, think Comair was used by the Mullin regime to show the mainline pilots that...

    Continental looking for 4 Dispatchers?

    There is AFDTC in the DFW area. www.airlinedispatcher.com I did a one week course there in the mid-90's. Cheap and to the point. You have to pass the Dispatcher (ATP) written prior to going to class. For an experienced pilot I'd suggest looking over Part 65. You really don't need to spend...

    NAT Track Question

    I'm guessing what he is referring to is the way at least some airlines (maybe some bizjets) file a next best in the ICAO flight plan. My carrier does it routinely. We also use acars to request/receive oceanic clearances. In an ICAO it looks like this: (FPL-AAA1-IS -B787/H-SDHIPRWXYZ/S...

    UPS & FDX jumpseat for OAL DXer's?

    If memory serves, NWA allowed offline dispatchers who were TWU only. This was pre 9/11 though. Your friend at AA is correct. They only allow their own dispatchers the jumpseat for recurrent and when the airplane is full. This is done for "fairness" to the gate/ramp folks who cannot...

    Jeppesen not at fault in Comair crash

    This is exactly true. Add to it being at LEX for a CVG based crew, right in their own back yard. Thing is there were no published notams detailing taxiway closures/name changes/etc. Those were local notams and some/all weren't on ATIS. The biggest failure was the FAA's system, and I don't mean...

    Jeppesen not at fault in Comair crash

    Jepp is not at fault in this deal. Yes their chart was not completely accurate, but it wouldn't have mattered. For what it's worth, the NACO/NOS chart was different but not accurate either. Neither matched the aerial photos taken that sorry day. Actually nice to see the judge not allowing tort...

    Wx requirements to dispatch to the destination

    This is just the FAA being themselves. Nothing in this interpretation changes the way we do business, but it is confusing.What we must remember is that MDA/DH and ceiling are not the same thing. It is quite rare to have a missed approach when METAR has OVC001 even if it is only a Cat 1. There...

    SKYWEST trying to charge all the time on buddy passes?

    2 Different Issues Changing a buddy pass to go through a different city to get to the same destination that increases trip mileage will cause a slightly higher fare. The calculation used to compute buddy pass fares does not ignore the connecting city (ies) in adding up mileage. You can play...

    Schumer wants FAA Chief to Get Ax for NY Delays...

    Blakely resigns, then what? Unless some form of regulation returns to NYC (ie slots or minimum hull sizes at LGA) nothing is ever going to change substantially. If memory serves correctly, delays at LGA didn't skyrocket to their current levels until Air21 and Hillary flying there every...
