    American Eagle

    Definitely take it -135 - it has nothing to do with which part you can fly under, and when you get your ATP, it's just an ATP, not an ATP (135) or ATP (121). Even when applying to airlines, those that require the ATP written require just that, not the -121 written. The advantages of the -135...

    Question for AA/CAL furloughed guys.....

    Well, we're sort of integrated at JFK - we can see the terminal and the B777s through the dust from the far side of our construction area, but it's like that old New England saying - "can't get theyuh from heyah..." Anyway, they don't let us get too close to the other planes here in "the land...

    UA pilots, get those resumes updated!!

    Yep, it could be “good” for United, but like TurboS7 postd, the courts control your destiny. Don't confuse the different types of bankruptcy (or "chapters" from the federal code – 7, 9, and 11 in particular) - there are different "levels" of bankruptcy and different results. Filing for...

    Flight crew fatigue (Part 121)

    As a follow on to Andy's post, I'm not sure how you can search the NTSB database for specific causes, but that would be a good start. Also, look at CDOs or "stand ups" - fatigue off a standup was the cause of an AE overrun at JFK maybe two years ago?

    Question for AA/CAL furloughed guys.....

    Gracias for the post (practice for SJU). Sorry to hear about the bump, are you coming back to EWR?

    Question for AA/CAL furloughed guys.....

    Boz – see what you started! There’s a lot of confusion and unhappiness in general at AMR over the flow agreement. Remember, we have four separate groups (AA, AE, APA, ALPA), all with different goals trying to come to an agreement on interpreting our infamous Side Letter 3, which is the flow...

    electrical devices during TO and Lan.

    Since Avbug mentioned engineers, I'll follow up - my graduate work was mostly in electrical engineering and nuclear physics, and I have about ten years OJT between my military and civilian flying days - and with all that, I couldn't have said it better than Avbug. Everything he said was dead...

    Getting to know Boeing's products....

    Try this version: Memo from Boeing It takes a minute or two to download - it's a Power Point file that I received as an e-mail - it took me a while to find a place where I could link it. Enjoy!

    Lear Drivers

    Couldn't tell you...I've never had them both running on the ground except at the hold line... For Turbo, there was a guy who really used to the "dead stick" thing in a single up here in the northeast. He would fly cross-country until the prop stopped, then glide into the nearest uncontrolled...

    Lear Drivers

    True, but... You may spend only fifteen minutes on the ramp getting fueled but you really lose closer to an hour each time you come down for fuel. You're actually losing time the entire time from when you start down until you get back to altitude. Since the Lear cruises very close to...

    Eagle furlough changes?

    There’s no direct limits on Eagle manning in the AA contract, so there is nothing, other than economics, to keep Eagle from recalling pilots and/or hiring new pilots – at least nothing that I could find in the sections on furlough and “commuter air carriers”. In theory, we could bring everyone...

    Lear Drivers

    Hey Aero99 If you're in California and your boss wants to fly to the east coast and/or islands, the Lear may be your plane - I would choose it over the Citation. As hawkerjet pointed out, no plane in this price range will get you coast to coast in either direction, but in my experience you’ll...

    Eagle furlough changes?

    Just a follow up to chickenpilot's post - this comes off the company rumor page: Rumor: Furloughs & SJU (12-12-01) I heard Crew Resources is contacting FOs and asking them if they do NOT want to be displaced to SJU. They say SJU will be over staffed because Eagle is not planning on furloughing...

    Logging PIC in a Complex/HighPerformance

    MasterFly - You’re understanding is correct – you may log the time. At the bottom of this post I’ll tack on an excerpt from the FAA FAQs – but what you said is exactly what they say. The FAA does differentiate between acting as PIC and logging time as PIC. Since Timebuilder was kind enough...

    FAR/AIM online..

    Here are some other links to the FAA versions. The advantage of getting them from the FAA, as opposed to a private vendor, is that they will always have the latest revisions - a lot of pilots don't realize that the FARs update throughout the year, just like charts and approach plates (though in...

    Eagle furlough changes?

    The short answer is that I don’t think they’re worried about it the ASM ceiling, not because they intend to ignore it but because the feeling we’re getting is that the company is expecting this to be a relatively short term problem. They seem to have already cut enough flying to give them a...

    Logging IFR/Night time while SIC

    RJFlyer, It looks like Jim will stand by his answer no matter what. Good for him. I’m gonna stand by my answer and hopefully let this thread die with just a few last comments since you may be willing to consider them: Jim is right. The FAA FAQs are not legally binding. And actually neither...

    Logging IFR/Night time while SIC

    RJFlyer - the way you’ve been logging time is correct. StormChaser beat me to the post – his quotes come from the most recent version of the FAA’s FAQs for Part 61, and while it differs from Jim’s, it is a more valid answer. First of all, you’re not “REQUIRED” to log anything – to paraphrase...

    Starting up a charter company

    This link may be helpful - http://www.faa.gov/fsdo/orl/files/acc135/135cert.doc The other posters have already said pretty much anything I would have said – I can tell you from personal experience that the Part 135 paper chase and approval processes can be tedious at best, and more often a...

    Eagle furlough changes?

    Not likely; in fact the rumors lean the other way – there’s talk of another 50 in January, but just talk. There’s nothing on the company board about recall or further furloughs, and nothing substantial on the ALPA board either. The company’s official line has been that they were done...
