I will never forget that morning. I was up early as I had an 0800 show for my final prep flight before taking my CFI checkride the next day. As I sat in the classroom a friend called and said an airplane hit the WTC. I asked him if it was in bad weather and what type of airplane. He said it...
Sched? Bases? What do you think this is, an airline?
Sched, yes we have one. It's called Fire Season.
Bases, yes we have them. It's called the hotel you pick at the end of each day, wherever that may be.
Hands down, the best company I've ever worked for and the best job I've ever had...
So I just got a text from a friend of mine there and am hearing that pilots are leaving for other opportunities to the tune of 10-15 per month. When I left, OO was understaffed and people were being worked to the bone. I heard that June/July were going to be the busiest months ever for the...
MILWAUKEE -- Passengers, pilots and flight attendants are calling it the end of an era. The big wide Midwest seated planes are gone after Monday, as well as Midwest crews."It's very sad," Midwest Airlines pilot Capt. Bryan Jandorf said.Jandorf is one of 390 Midwest pilots who are marking the...
I'm so sorry for you MEP guys and gals. Every Midex pilot I ever met or jumpseated with were a class act. I know you might get "a number" at RAH, but it will never be the same. I just found out that most of the RPA crews flying the 190 are senior. (The most junior Capt. is 12 years) I for...
WOW! Just WOW! Even I didn't think of that.
On a side note, I had to clean the toilet today. And as I was flushing it I couldn't help but correlate the swirling water with my (our) career. And the sad thing is I'm serious!
I don't see your point here. If what you're trying to say, is that Alaska pilots were to be stapled, I would assume they still get longevity. Therefore other than bidding a lower number, they would be still making the same money. (except the most junior FOs) It all comes down to fair pay for...
Just so you know, I have never "had it out" for any pilot group. We are all brothers aren't we?
Having said that, I attacked you because you attacked me personally. Unfortunately 80% of the RAH pilots I've run into in my career have had this same attitude. A 20% positive factor is why RAH...
Dear Valued Midwest Airlines Customer:
Republic Airways Holdings of Indianapolis announced today its acquisition of Midwest Airlines.
Midwest Air Group will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Republic Airways Holdings and Midwest Airlines will continue to operate as a branded carrier with its...
Here is how I see the future.......Less than 1% of YX pilots will actually end up flying for RAH. They have been beaten down so bad over the past few years, none of them will fly for those rates and just retire with the 717s. I'm sure you will see some of the senior Frontier guys/gals doing the...
This is absolutely the beginning (or at least the middle) of the end of our beloved career. While I don't blame the pilots of RPA (YET!), the management has sunken to a new level. I understand about shareholders and the company's obligation to them, but c'mon. Pretty soon you are going to...
So Jimmy Boy, did you pass the bar exam with 100%? 'Cause if you didn't there is absence of conclusive proof that you should really be practicing law. I don't want me one of them there insufficient lawyer types!
Toolbag!
Funny, I didn't think the NTSB has come up with a probable cause for this accident yet. SCUM SUCKING piece of you know what ambulance chasing dirtbags!

I know this really isn't a true "regional" discussion, but it deserves to get attention.

It just shows you how the Hitler-esque SS (TSA) is getting away with anything and everything they want by making average citizens think they are the next...
...air ambulance, charter, and a fire job all in mountainous terrain with crappy weather. I think I had about 3,500 hours of the proverbial "Holy S**T" PIC time I ever wanted before I became a regional airline F/O. And I can tell you here and now, I have lost so much of my knowledge and skill...
January 14, 2009 Mesa Predicts Profits This FY
In an ominously short fourth quarter conference call in which only two investment analysts tuned in, Mesa revealed its strategy this year is to solve its big money problems, including its note holders in order to reduce costs. In the...
