    Does Spirit have displacemet rights?

    No, There has to be an opening for your seat to get that position. If you are SJU based and want DTW you put DTW on your bid sheet and when a position for your seat in DTW opens you would get that seat.

    Spirit to offer $9 flights

    FLAME If you do a search for Spirit you wil find that yes Spirit did have two MD-80 stall events, however they did not spin and were recovered sucessfully. Spirit is celebrating it's 15th anniversary and has NEVER killed or seriously injured a passenger.

    Spirit MD80's @ FLL

    Spirit has switched to the fall schedule with reduced frequency in several markets. Flying Airbus' as much as possible. Several of the 80's will be removed from service soon. Sold or returned to lessor's.

    What would you guys do?

    The instructor/ Examiner will usually get another CFI to do the recomendation then conduct the checkride. I agree I don't think they can recomend and examine. I did the three hour prep for an examiner that ran a one instructor school (him) and then recomended the students for a flight test...

    Jetblue LF great/Spirit lousy

    Enigma is correct, the company management is so focused on getting pay concessions from the pilots (NO) (just say NO!) that they can't see the forrest for the trees. There were no substantial changes in year to year numbers but no growth is bad. Replacement of MD-80's with Airbus' is to be one...

    Spin Recovery in a 152

    The only spin restriction I know of is for the 150 HP conversions, As I remember the 152 and later 172 have 30 degrees of flaps for go-around performance. The 40 degree flap A/C have minimal if any climb performance at 40 degrees.

    Leaving Kids/Family while flying

    My husband requested that I respond to your post (he is also the owner of this screen name). We think you are getting way too much negative feedback. Although I am not a pilot (my husband is)-I just retired from a 29 year career in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. That too, is a male-dominated...

    Landing gear questions

    The "platform" on the MD-80 series is just what you suspected, a mud flap, actually called a spray deflector it deflectes water away from the fuselage and engines thereby preventing ingestion. The DC-9 series could use the spray deflector or chined tires, the MD-80's require the spray deflector.

    Spirit or Miami air?

    I admire your insight Gen. Lee but I have heard that Spirit is now preferentially hiring local people. So if you live in FLL they are not going to ship you off to DTW. Unfortunately schedules and domicile are decided by seniority, there are several pilots based in DTW that live in south...

    motorcycle cc question

    I've had a Honda 400 for several years it's great for around town but will beat you to death above about 50. I bought a Kawasaki Vulcan 800 V-twin cruiser about three years ago, It's great solo and cruises the highway OK but just doesen't have the comfort zone when riding two up. I just bought a...
