    Glad to be a freight dog.

    I just want to say that every time I browse the Major's board I feel proud to have made a career out of flying old broken down freighters. Can I get an amen?

    Dry sinuses make you crazy?

    I realize there are more pressing problems in the world, and perhaps I'm sharing just a little too much, but dry pressurized air really takes its toll on my sinuses. I've tried saline spray and even KY Jelly (not the warming kind) and eventually induced a full blown sinus *infection*. Not...

    Chopper 8KA 17SSE of Hampton

    I talked to a Chopper 8KA this morning on Guard. He was 17SSE of Hampton at 2000'. I relayed a Center freq for him (twice) and I'm curious to know if everything was kosher. I didn't get a reply after the second attempt...we were already pretty South of his location by a couple hundred miles...

    Financial wisdom from Fox News

    I just listened to a guest on Cavuto's show tell the world that pensions are what bankrupted the airline industry. And of course, since he's on TV he has instant credibility right?

    Anybody ever made a life of being on the road?

    Ok. Look. I admit it. I'm a freakshow. But I'm wondering if anyone has made a life (a complete lifestyle) of being on the road constantly. I mean: No house. No car. No wife. No kids. No life. Except, The Road. More than ever, thanks to the internet, now a person can lead a virtual...

    Another TSA story: I finally had to laugh

    Get this. So I show up for work at JFK. A very nice and soft spoken Jamaican woman signs me in with the Capt and FE. I'm the first to get the wand. You know, it's real casual, more like a blessing than "assume the position!" Next she opens my bag and rifles through my skivvies and socks. I...

    Silly question about Ground Zero

    Alright guys, take it easy on me. Here's the deal: A couple of weeks ago I visited Ground Zero for the first time. It was hot and humid but I walked from Penn Station to Ground Zero. Then I walked around Wall Street. Then I walked through Greenwich Village and back to Penn Station and I kept...

    Info for Atlas new hires.

    First things first: I'm not interested in being the go-to man for Atlas Air recruiting and new hire transitions. I just want to offer a little advice to help make the transition a little smoother. I think I might have a couple good points having just experienced the same thing last summer...

    Just curious. Are there any Alaska Airlines (former JetAmerica) pilots on this board that can describe the events of this merger? Do you recall the terms of the merger? Issues like seniority, training, different airplane types, bases, etc...

    Anybody use Mozilla Firefox with AIMS Pref Bid Sys?

    I'm really scratching my head with two seperate browser problems. One with IE and one with Mozilla. I'm on the road and that makes troubleshooting a real pain in the butt *but* I'm wondering if I can get some more help from the computer savvy ones. First prob: I cannot produce a cursor in any...

    Alaskans beat the mid-winter blues!

    I just got this message in an email from the Northwest Airlines Mileage Program: <<Beat the winter blues with our new seasonal service from Anchorage to Maui and on to Honolulu. Service will operate Thursday through Sunday between February 17, 2005 and April 3, 2005.>> YES!! :D I can imagine...

    Talk to me Goose

    I got a show time in 23 hours. If I sleep now, I'm screwed. Tell me a joke, give me a riddle or a puzzle. Call me names. Just don't let me fall asleep. I can't handle any more tsunami on TV.

    Confessions of a former bush pilot.

    I suppose my first confession is that I never considered myself a bush pilot from the beginning. I've written about this elsewhere. And I've talked about it with other people so I apologize for covering old ground. But I guess I just want to say that I've finally (after nine years) turned my...

    Fantastic PBY photos from CatDriver

    http://groups.msn.com/FantasticFlyingPhotos The man (CatDriver) was kind enough to email me some beautiful PBY photos from Africa and South America but too humble to post them himself. So he gave me permission to put them up for your enjoyment. Enjoy! :cool:

    Seattle wood on every Boeing airplane?

    Urban myth or no? I heard today that every Boeing has a piece of Seattle wood on it somewhere. For example, the 747 has a piece of wood on the fuel jettison door that's used to prevent the door from being closed if any of the switches are positioned for dump. Has anyone else heard this story...

    Things airline recruiters have done wrong

    I have a hunch. My gut tells me the pitiful job market has bottomed out. In other words, I think things are about to get better. Before anyone trounces my optimism I'll admit that I know that American Airlines has announced another furlough. I also realize that another bankruptcy looms around...

    I flew thru an anvil. Should I be fired?

    Here's a discussion for you. Reference the short discussion between myself, Typhoon and Enigma in the "Corollary to a Scab" thread. I didn't want to hijack Orion's thread any further so I started this thread. For the sake of argument, let's say I'm the PIC of a DC9 and I flew through the anvil...
