    Looking for AME southside Atlanta

    Doc Walker in PTC is my go-to... even though I don't live on that side of town anymore.

    ASA/XJT Pilots- Who's financially prepared to walk?

    I wasn't financially prepared when I got furloughed in '09, even though I saw the writing on the wall. I didn't miss a day of work in the transition. Now, my finances are a little better and I have backup plans: Two in aviation and two of them out of aviation. I haven't missed a meal yet in this...

    Anyone write an aviation book?

    You hit the nail on the head. I started writing out some of the stories when I was little more than a kid, and when I go back to read through them, I'm horrified at the writing, but I'm forever grateful that I captured enough details to make it worth revising and polishing. IslandDriver, have...

    Anyone write an aviation book?

    If you're going to write a book, start by finishing your questions with a question mark instead of a period. Nothing personal, it just sets a bad tone for the idea of you writing an entire book when your first sentence is structurally flawed. I've got a lot of stories from general aviation up...

    What do you pack for a trip?

    I picked up a trick from a friend, to roll up socks and underwear in an undershirt. One tidy bundle to grab out of the bag each morning while staggering to the shower at 04:15. An eagle creek shirt folder bag helps keep things organized. Running shoes and shorts are a must; often I just use...

    Rinku Summan fund for NAC F/O former Mesa pilot

    Bump. We hit that thousand-buck-goal right quick. We hem and we haw about a lot of stuff, but in the end, we really are brothers and sisters in one big fraternity. Keep showing it.

    LASA Atlanta CR2 Captain Lines

    Maybe if nothing else positive comes of it, it'll make a few more senior pilots eyeball the reserve section of the contract when it finally comes up for a vote. Remember, you're never too senior for a slide down the list.

    Worst area for weather?

    I'm reading Don Sheldon's biography, "Wager With The Wind" that I picked up in a used bookstore last week. I've gotta agree, Alaska's weather extremes are amazing, and the stories of battling Denali's weather in a Super Cub... enthralling. Pick up a copy if you can find it. The pop-up...

    LEC Meeting in ATL

    Half the folks in the room were on reserve; and there was zero cell service in the lead-lined, hotel basement meeting room. Thanks, ALPA, for doing your best to get me tagged "Unavailable On Reserve."

    From Cessna to the CRJ the Journey Starts Now!

    Nah, many of them were on their college's aircraft recognition team. They'd recognize an Ercoupe. They'd just have a hard time telling you which vital part of the airplane is lacking. I went around the pattern in one. It was the most vulnerable I think I've ever felt in the air before. Odd...

    From Cessna to the CRJ the Journey Starts Now!

    Believe it or not, there are worse jobs to be had than flying jets, even at the regional level in this economic climate. This beats the heck out of the future I had in front of me, had I succumbed to the vacuum of my small hometown. This isn't the career we'd all grown up lusting over, but it...

    ExpressJet asking all pilots to provide flight time records to comply with HR5900

    Check again. I got my email timestamped 11 p.m. last night. Nice work, gutting the crew records department. I bet the three people left will be a little busy. Oops. Just checked. It's down to two people now.

    1st and 2nd Year Net Take Home $$$$

    Tell ya what. Instead of net, here's gross. My first full year at the airline formerly known as ASA (that included one pay check on second year pay) I made a total of $20194.04 in wages and $1600 in per diem. Knock out about a third for deductions and you'll have a good idea of why it's...

    Delta international travel(buddy pass)

    It's a surefire tool to ensure the person you bestow it upon never speaks to you again. It's pretty awesome.

    Furloughs at ASA?

    Pilots, flight attendants, dispatchers and mechanics are all on the table for negotiations. You better believe they won't let the truth get in the way of a sob story if it helps them negotiate a concessionary contract.

    Hey XJET guys...

    I'm not trying to flame or point fingers, merely to point out that folks were saying the same things at ASA four years ago, when I came to work here. Since then I've seen 10 months away from flying on furlough, the possibility of a second furlough, and we're looking at YEARS before we can...

    Tuesday ASA Roadshow

    "We're looking for additional flying all the time" "We're doing everything we can to avoid furloughs" .... Basically, it's everything I heard before I got furloughed the first time.

    ASA Furloughs?

    Thanks, from those of us beneath the bus. Have a great day.

    Longest/Shortest CRJ-200 Routes

    EV - Atlanta to Macon, GA (no longer part of our route, although we do maintenance there.) 68 miles straight line. I know there's gotta be a shorter hop than that somewhere.

    SureJet (a.k.a ASA) server crash

    We're crippled because we don't have any worker bees. We're swarming because they just hit our nest.
