    More valuable military flight time?

    Facts are Facts as you say. Get your's straight. Let's compare Apples to Apples please. We are talking about an EMB145 Type ride v. an F/O check. A completely different checkride and grading standard. In my class, 4 busted types (2 flowbacks and 2 eagle upgrades). We had 2 new hires bust...

    Why do you (want to / like to) work for SWA?

    Current SWA guys. What do you like most and least about working there. Hopefuls, why do you want to work there? Please no "they are about the only ones hiring" type comments, that's a given. Thanks

    F-16: AIM-120 v's AIM-9

    ...6.) Everything you wanted in a Fighter and Less. I remember we had a contest in the PI back in the day and came up with 30 or so, Anyone remember any others? Not trying to bash the Viper guys, h*ll I always wanted to fly one, just all in fun. Sorry for hijacking the tread, just couldn't...

    Another Beating for Eagle

    This group of AA pilots were furloughed in May 2003 thru August 2003. They are all junior to the latest batch of flowbacks furloughed in Mar 2004. AA would have to recall well over 1000 pilots to reach the 5/03-8/03 furloughed pilots. They will be at Eagle for a while. They will be the most...

    Commute from DFW to New York Airports

    AA Just replaced all 757 to LGA with 737. More than 200 seats a day are gone. Yes there are quite a few commuters. Sometimes the flights are 1/2 full. I have also not been able to get home for 3 days before. Commuting sux but what can you do.

    F4 Phantom

    Jim I'm going to have to agree with furloughboy on this one, but it is all really a question of Tactics. I loved the Rhino and knew her capabilities well. As far as a close in fight, it was never going to happen. Again, Tactics. We would NEVER turn with a Mig-21,F-5,F-16, or Scooter, ect...

    Major Airline Furloughs.

    ...though the writing was clearly on the wall. We all make our choices and we live with them. We all have reasons to be P.O. about this. Instead of B*tching about it why don't you do something constructive and go get a 737 type like I did. Join me and all the others that are waiting for a call...

    Major Airline Furloughs.

    American On 6/01/03 there will be 1288 pilots on furlough with 283 more announced for 7/01/03. Another 2000-2200 will be furloughed before 6/01/04 to include me. The most senior pilot hired at American Airlines (assuming that all xTWA pilots were hired at American Airlines in April 2001) with...

    Trouble at AMR

    You are sadly mistaken. There are only parts of the contract that are "FM"able. SCOPE is not one of them. The no furlough clause in the AA/TWA LLC Transition agreement is. So yes we will probably furlough another big chunck of our guys when we go into Iraq. What do you think will happen to...

    How many on furlough?

    At American there are 925 pilots furloughed as of 12/01. 392 more have been announced so far Jan - Apr. D

    AA to hire in 2003!

    Hate to be a bubble buster here, but the one thing that most of these post disregard is that fact that APA is currently in the middle of Sec 6 negotiations. IMHO there will not be a TOTAL recall until a new contract is sign. AMR has a history of holding furloughees hostage as a bargaining tool...

    More about logging time at UPT

    Just an example of AFORMS errors. My all time favorite Logbook entry was the 91 hours of nite flying time I logged on one sortie (1.3hr sortie durration). I caught the error in the monthly printout but didn't say a word. Wasn't removed by the flight records folks for 6 months. Keep a Logbook, I...

    Anyone hired by AA to start in Oct. 01?

    TWA Dude: Hey you are right, wrong place, wrong time and my post has been edited accordingly, sorry I struck a nerve. I would be happy to discuss this with you any place and any time, but here is not the right thread. D

    Anyone hired by AA to start in Oct. 01?

    ...is life at AMR. I will continue to pass along any info I have, (good, bad, indifferent) and hopefully I will be proven wrong. I agree, this is a Sh**ty way to do "bidness", but is one in a long list of items (to include denying people with less than 3000hrs flow back just to save $$$$) that...

    Flying Fighters

    I have to agree with Eagleflip. For me, flying fighters was daily the most fun I ever had with my pants on. That being said, it was also some of the hardest work I ever did (both physically and mentally) I am often asked the difference between military v civilian flying. I am not going to get...

    Logging Ground Time...

    My best advice after interviewing at 4 majors (I batted .750) and intel debriefs from 25+ of my buds is "when in doubt (conversion factor or SIC v. PIC ect..) don't do it". It isn't worth the hassle for a few hundred hours. It took 20 min. for me to explain to the UAL HR chick why I counted 20...
