    172 off floats, on wheels?

    I'm having my 172 taken off floats and put on wheels for the first time. The shop does five or six a year, so they should know what they are doing. Wondering how many hours labor I should expect to get charged for this? What's typical?

    ADD or ADHD pilots

    I know a kid who is interested in flying who has mild ADD and is on meds but feels he could easily go off them. I know the FAA won't let you fly while on ADD meds but that you can get a waiver. Anyone got this waiver and/or know the details and costs of it?

    It's been like this before...

    My friend Gary, a 757/767 capt at UPS, posted this at our union forum....I thought it would be good for some of the younger guys to see. "I thought this industry was bad back in 1978 through 1983 when I was trying to get a go at it. I worked hard and struggled through all the crap: The...

    Aviation degree/Non-Aviation degree

    Yesterday, I went to a briefing on the Central Washington U aviation program for kids who are interested in piloting careers. The head of the program, who claims to have "contacts in the industry", made the statement that it's better to have an aviation degree than a non-aviation...

    ALPA guide to TSA screening?

    I'm wondering if a non-ALPA guy can get a copy of this guide to security screening. I would love to know the rules these TSA screeners have to go by and start catching them in their screwups. If they are declaring war on pilots....we should fight back. One way to do that is to hold them to...

    F/E ticket as a short cut to a jet jobs

    I'm having a discussion at airliners.net/tech ops about whether or not getting an F/E ticket is a good idea for a low time pilot. What do you all think? How many of you know of airlines that will employ a low time pilot with an F/E ticket, including IOE, with the idea that you could move over...

    9 months post op LASIK

    Went in for my flight physical yesterday and tested 20/20 after being worse than 20/200 for 25 years prior to LASIK. Even though I test at 20/20, I finally talked my eye doc into a perscription for a super weak pair of glasses just for night flying. My acuity has dropped slightly since I had...

    Pft

    I've seen a few PFT threads recently. Those who choose the PFT schemes to get ahead should know that the vast majority of professional pilots in the industry have strong feelings against PFT. The higher you go up the airline career ladder the more you'll find guys to be....let's just...

    ERAU and a major airline job....

    "As for getting hired by majors, my husband and I have a friend that does a lot of interviewing for Delta and Riddle on someone's application is a definite plus for the person." Well....the above statement was made at another board I frequent. I pretty much disagree that an ERAU background...
