    CAL JAN Class Breakdowns

    In my class of 16 (Dec 11 07 ), there were 5 military. None mentioned any issue about those type of questions in the interview..... so apparently they're still hiring plenty of military folk. More than one of our indoc instructors emphasized that there would be no problem with military leave (at...

    Anyone heard from NWA?

    Swam in the pool til the water dried up.... Hmmm..... I was in the same boat - still have all the letters. I did update my contact info with them over the last couple of years by letter (never got a response) - haven't heard from them yet. I haven't put an application in yet this time...

    Kalitta Air TA passes

    Could you Kalitta guys give us an update on the following: - During your 17 day stretch, how much flying, how much sitting? How often do you get stuck for 3-4 days somewhere ? Some of that is fun, too much can really suck... - How many maintenance delays are messing up schedules ? It sounds...

    135 Scabs

    You people are amazing. If you don't like the wages and benefits you are able to command in the marketplace given all the relevant variables then go find one you like better. Noone owes you your idea of "standard industry pay" at whatever your favorite career choice is. I used to be in the...

    L-1011 TriStar First Flight History

    I'm with TriStar_drver at the last North American L1011 operator..... I have had the fine pleasure flying all 3 seats of the 727 (my second favorite airplane) and flying FO on the Tristar, to every corner of the planet. I can't imagine a better globe cruiser. Smooth, fast, quiet, and very...

    Champion Air or FlightOptions?

    Dude - unless something dramatic has changed, I'd count on more like 4 or 5 YEARS before you upgrade off the panel. The seniority list there is very stagnant, and unless there's a mass exodus they'd have to expand a lot more than I think they have plans for to upgrade in 18 months. My how...

    Eccos vs. Deer Stag shoes

    Just bought my first pair of Eccos after Deer Stags, Rockports, Mephistos, and a few others. The Deer Stags are certainly adequate, and indeed don't set off the metal detectors, but I fly international and go on long (7 days min,) trips, and after a few hours of walking or flying they just...

    727 or Lear Jet 55???

    A different perspective....... 1) Even if you only log 500-600 hrs./yr in a cargo 727, very few corporate outfits log anywhere near that much time. 2) PIC 121 Tranport Jet time absolutely trumps Lear PIC time. Don't believe anything else. I am NOT saying 135 PIC time isn't valuable, but given...

    Gemini Air Cargo

    This is a little misleading - you are indeed home based but if you don't live in South Florida area (where all the current contracts are) that's not quite how it works out. You will be travelled to sit reserve for the entire 19 days wherever the airplanes are (mostly FL for now on the DC-10)...

    Kalitta Air Information

    So What is the real skinny on pay and sked? Is most everyone right at guarantee or do you make more than 65 hrs / mo with trip rigs or actual flying (without selling off all your days off) ? Also - is it mostly reserve, and if so is reserve at home or in YIP (or wherever) ? For sked, do you...

    Resigning from ALPA

    I guess ALPA should just snap their fingers and fix the fundamental economics of the entire industry. Better yet, since we're all so smart, why don't we just buy our own airline and then if we're losing billions because there are more seats available than there is demand to fill them we'll just...

    AWA Bows Out

    I think the way this happened was that job fairs were being conducted for CSR's at MDW, and a union rep went to ask about when the pilot's interview fair might be. The flustered answer is what materialized into this interview day. If that chance encounter hadn't happened - well you know...

    Joe's confident

    Even many inside ATA don't know much about charter, and in fact have been force fed a very inaccurate picture of that side of the company. Some ridicule and laugh at the L-1011 -a - saur. This appears to have come from the management team that was brought in to run the place while George retired...
