    Stock Analyst Bullish on Jet Blue!!!

    Found this on CBS Marketwatch today (Read Below). Sounds great for the lucky Jet Blue pilots out there.... Also a pretty good discussion about Southwest in comparison below. Check it out! JetBlue soars on upgrade By Susan Lerner, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 4:14 PM ET Jan. 23, 2003...

    Alaska Air Could Switch to Airbus....

    Found this on Yahoo Finance today. Flying a side-stick Airbus might be fun... Although I doubt Boeing would allow a Seattle-based airline to fly an all-Airbus fleet.... Looks like a negotiating threat... What do Alaska pilots think about the possibility of flying an A320 - even if it is...

    Raytheon Taking Control of FLOPs!

    I found this on AINOnline today: Raytheon Co. Taking Control of Flight Options Kenn Ricci, CEO of Cleveland-based fractional aircraft provider Flight Options, in his weekly voice mail to employees on January 3, said he has spent much time looking for the right financial solution to the...

    Scale-down strategy for UAL - Fly CRJs

    Found this report on CBS Marketwatch. Note the hardball tactics at the end related to the regional partners - UAL demanding $60 million in cuts upfront while negotiating (for leverage) with three other regionals... Looks like some big changes ahead at UAL... Like USAirways - maybe hundreds of...

    Comair MEC burning bridges with Delta?

    Please don't shoot the messenger... I overheard a conversation a few days ago at the driving range (loud and literally right next to me) between two Delta pilots who were IRATE, to say the least, about how Comair's MEC apparently refuses to take-on furloughed Delta pilots like ASA has...

    B2 Bomber qualifications

    I just watched the "bat wing" B2 bomber fly over the Rose Bowl parade. I have seen it many times and it never ceases to amaze me... Questions regarding the "lucky" few who get to fly this thing: 1. What are typical qualifications in terms of hours, previous aircraft types flown (e.g., fighter...

    Flying the Dash 8-400 - What's it like?

    Followed a Horizon Dash 8-400 a few days ago. I was very impressed with it - I could not believe how LONG it is... It also seemed very fast - nice props. A few questions for Dash 8-400 drivers (Horizon pilots or European pilots - I think SAS commuter and others): 1. How do you like flying the...

    ATA L-1011s - schedules & routes...

    I have noted that a number of people on this forum have been hired by ATA recently and are either on, or in training for, the L-1011 fleet. It is my understanding that ATA operates 5-7 L-15s and then large 737-800 and 757 fleets. For those who fly the L-1011s, what are some of your typical...

    Flying the C-17 - What's it like?

    My favorite military transport airplane is the C-17. I love how it looks... I once saw a formation of C-17s blast off out of Frankfurt - I was surprised they would take off in formation out of a mainly civilian airport. I have seen pictures of the C-17 cockpit - nice EFIS and stick. The...

    Citationshares & TAG - any crossover?

    I recently read an article about Citationshares in a Pro Pilot magazine. The article suggested that if a Citationshares pilot were "interested" in flying bigger corporate jets than a Citation Excel, a "natural transition" exists between Citationshares and TAG Aviation (its co-owner). The...

    Flight Options and Premier Jets - When?

    Questions for Flight Options pilots out there. Do you know when Flight Options is expected to introduce the Premier 1 "light jet" into the fleet? I am aware of all of the Raytheon problems with the Premier that have caused tremendous delays.... I am sure the start date has changed many times. I...

    CJ1/CJ2 - As fun to fly as they look?

    Parked next to a beautiful CJ2 yesterday. I took a look inside and the panel was awesome - 3 large EFIS tubes - Pro Line 21 systems. I was very impressed - very advanced for a "small" jet. Anyone out there fly either the CJ1 or the CJ2? I have read articles about flying the CJ1 - won rave...

    Citationshares to get 25 CJ3s?

    Can anyone from Citationshares confirm that 25 new CJ3s have been ordered? I think I read that in an Aviation Week mag. Sounds like a very nice plane - the CJ2 has a very advanced flightdeck (Pro Line 21 I think) and looks great on the ramp... If true, Citationshares will hopefully ramp-up...

    Jet Aviation - Private Fleet Gulfstreams

    Just wondering if anyone knows much about Jet Aviation's "Private Fleet" of Gulfstream IIIs and IISPs? I have seen the aircraft in Scottsdale and PBI. I have seen the website - the fleet comprises 7 Gulfstreams (IIIs and IIs) and is available for charter - with some special East-West coast...

    Out-of-the way places you have flown to

    Time for a new thread. That Flexjet IAD thread was getting ridiculous - just yelling back and forth... Fractional pilots get to fly to many out-of-the way places - some in the middle of nowhere to satisfy their customers. That is one of the interesting aspects of the job - get to fly to places...

    Flying the GIV/V - What is it like?

    Just posing a quick question to Gulfstream IV/V pilots out there. I have always dreamed of one day flying a GIV/V. Just wanted to know your opinions of the aircraft. A few other questions: 1. How does it compare with what you flew previously? 2. Most interesting worldwide destination you...

    If given choice, CRJ or ERJ? And Why...

    I have a classmate who may have an opportunity to bid either CRJ or ERJ with Mesa (currently a 1900D FO). Excluding geographic preferences (CRJs on West Coast and ERJs on East Coast), which aircraft would you prefer to fly as an FO if given the same option? If you fly either type, what do you...

    EJI (Gulfstreams) - How do you get hired

    I have a very good friend who just got laid off flying Gulfstream IIs and IIIs in the Northeast (he has flown worldwide). I believe he has some limited SIC time on a GIV as well. He is an excellent pilot with 7,000+ hours including 3,500 PIC Gulfstream. He and I are both interested in EJI...

    Dornier 328TP/JET - What's it like?

    One of my good friends is in the process of interviewing to fly one of these great airplanes - the jet version. Just wanted to know from Dornier 328 turboprop and jet pilots (current or those with experience on it) what they thought of the airplane. Specific questions for the 328 TP and Jet...
