    Emirates

    Did anyone else think the same thing as me? That maybe "flight crew members only" was not a GOOD thing...maybe they know more about us than most people do.

    How to fly for the USFS?

    Who flys those barons that act as lead planes for air attack? How do you break into this field? I've checked some websites, but is seems like a sort of "need to know someone" business.

    A question for all of you

    Do NOT go to Pinnacle if you are PIC now. I am at Pinnacle now, and I can tell you that you will be making a big mistake. The paycut is Immense, and contrary to whatever they might have told you in the interview, the upgrade is a LONG time. I have been here over a year, and it's looking like...

    Anyone fly for the USPS??

    Some of the "USPS" and "Emery" 727s you are seeing are owned by Emery. They are flown by Ryan crews. Although ALPA probably had nothing to do with the initial deal with Fedex and the USPS, ALPA did guarantee that the 500+ Emery pilots were kept quiet by putting their fledgling union in...

    Medical Exam at Netjets

    Is there one after they hire you? I seem to recall there was. Thanks.

    Express I ?'s

    19.16 hour, 75 hour guarantee. On reserve, you are looking at 1400 bucks a month perhaps. Be on reserve a LONG time. During training (up to three months, I got through in 2, I was lucky), NO PAY or HOTEL. Not good. Training easy, in MEM. Plan on being based in DTW or MSP. They go back and...

    Regional selection

    I am also a pilot at Express Airlines I, Northwest Airlik, Pinnacle, whatever we are called this month. I would have to agree with everything he said. One thing that is something to think about is where you will be living and be based. At this company, you have DTW, MSP and MEM. MEM is...

    PIC Aircraft Weight requirments question

    FedEx and Southwest...do they have some weight requirement for their 1000 hour PIC? Who else does...and what is it?

    Polar Air Hiring

    I wouldn't be too optimistic about ALPA National doing any favors for freight dogs outside FedEx. Check out www.Emerycrew.org to see a complete history of how little ALPA has helped those guys.

    Assistant Chief Pilot?

    My experience with the FAA has been that it varies from FSDO to FSDO. I think you are referring to Part 141 Chief Flight Instructors and Assistant Chief Flight Instructors. Are you? I wasn't sure...so I will guess you are. According to FARs, the Assistant Chief Instructor of a partr 141...

    Cia

    That's pretty funny. You're pretty funny "ronin pilot". You get on a public forum with a name from a hollywood movie, ask about flying for a government agency, and when someone asks you some legit. questions, you critique them and tell them how experienced you are with intel already. You...

    121 or 135?

    Airnet is not a fractional. There are alot of postings here on Airnet...135 cargo, flying piston twins and lears.

    Instrument Question

    Nice discussion. I'd just like to add something about fuel. Don't forget that on your second + attempts you are cutting into your fuel to fly to an alternate and the 45 minutes plus after that under IFR (if you filed an alternate...). Even if that's plenty fuel...don't forget the follow up...

    PTs, PCs, LOFTS ...questions

    Thanks for the info. I am not unfamiliar with 121 flying, I am at my third carrier...I just didn't get it, and thought I was missing something when I spoke with that Mesaba guy. Maybe some other Mesaba guys can shed some light. He said they don't do ANY LOFTs after initial. It sounded...

    SWA Pilot Suspended

    I'm glad to see that so many other pilots feel the way I do about this. It's really crazy that at my domicile, I go through this. I don't have to go through screening at the checkpoint, since (thank the lord) my airport ID lets me though a side door. HOWEVER, if I jumpseat after work, I will...

    PTs, PCs, LOFTS ...questions

    What does the average airline do after initial to their guys...I have seen the following for FOs: one year after initial, a LOFT, then a PC (pro. check) the next year and alternating. For Captains, A PC, six months later a LOFT, six months later a PC, etc. The reason I am asking is that I...

    Need advice from fellow professionals

    What would you do if you were a CFI? Why don't you try to give the guy some help instead of figuring out a way to hang him? Maybe he has an explanation...maybe you can help him figure out what is going wrong. A good FO is part shrink, part CFI, part diplomat...etc, I'm sure you have heard...

    Yaw Dampers: series or Parallel

    APA with very interesting proposal

    I read this letter about this yesterday. I have to say that it sounds loaded. The AA flow through is the WORST deal out there, and I have little faith that now suddenly it will work is the Eagle guys lose the jets now. I think the eagle guys need to stand up to this BS now. I know many guys...

    Question for Dornier Drivers

    The Dornier 328 (328 TAS), Doorknob, Dork, Dorkknob, very nice plane. I enjoyed flying it. I'm in the CRJ now, and would have to say that I prefer the Honeywell Primus 2000 avionics over the Rockwell Collins avionics suite that is in the CRJ. I also think the ERJ has a better avionics...
