Does this mean that only a select few will be able to jumpseat offline while the rest of us have to wait another 6 months?

TSA to Get Proposal for Jumpseat Policy
The Transportation Security Administration...
With all these regionals taking pay cuts and Mesa signing a horrible contract, I'm still trying to figure out why in the H.ELL any one would vote yes for such a thing!?
If any members on this board have been at a regional that took a pay cut and voted yes, please explain.
Is it true that most of the FedEx schedules are similar to week on / week off? Does FedEx have any schedules that aren't so long on... more like 3 or 4 on, and 4 or 5 off?
I would be interested in hearing what some off the best schedules are like at FedEx, and the best schedules are at SWA...
Can someone in the know fill me in on what's going on with the ongoing jumpseat problem that still hasn't been fixed (after almost 2 years)?
Last I heard was that everything was setup for restoring offline jumpseating but that the TSA was dragging it's feet? And what's this that I hear about...
Does the EMB-135 have an ATS (Air Turbine Starter)? Or is it electric?
Because I was riding in the back and noticed that the packs never shut off during engine start?
I forget how much I appreciate operating turbine equipment over recip. equipment.
Turbine engines start up perfectly almost every time. There is no worry about flooding the engine, vapor lock, or having to crank it over and over. Even Auxillary Power Units start up with one button push and...
I'd like to get some opinions from pilots on how you rate domicile location into the whole equation of an airline career.
When you look at things like type of flying (domestic or international) and type of equipment (widebody or narrowbody); are these areas more important than domicile...
Can anyone in the know fill us all in on the progress made towards restoring offline cockpit and cargo jumpseating???
Last I heard was that ALPA had the whole new employment verification system set up, but the TSA was dragging it's feet!
I'm interested in how many days off pilots at other Regional airlines get.
Could you please post your typical line with respect to days off and block hours per month. I'm interested in both the best lines and the crappy lines.
I just realized that almost every airline out there has cut all their late evening flights. But they seemed to have kept all the really early AM departures. You really can't go anywhere after about 6 - 7pm at most airports (earlier at some airports). This sucks for people who are night owls...
Isn't it just absolutely amazing how the airline industry went from one extreme to the other in such a short period of time!
I remember when I was finishing up college and just applying with the regionals how all the majors were hiring in record numbers and everything looked so rosy-peachy...
I'm asking all of you Mesa pilots, what is the corporate culture like over there now that the Freedom Pilots are on your list and you are working with them? Does anyone talk to them? Are they treated like scabs?
Can some SWA new hires on this board please post how much Turbine PIC flight time they were hired with?
And what type of equipment was it in >>> Jet, Turboprop, Caravan, King Air, etc?
Thanks!!!
For those of you who are serious bodybuilders and fly for an airline >> I'd like to know how you do it? I'm talking about everything including the big things like DIET, WORKOUTS, and SLEEP.
Let's start with DIET. How are you supposed to eat lean meals with high protein when you are on a 4-day...
Has anyone interviewed at Pinnacle lately. I'm curious as to what the latest BS is that HR is telling the interview candidates? Someone on the line told me they were telling new hires to expect upgrades in a year or less! Yeah right.
Have you ever been to a used car dealership before. Get...
I need to ask the recruitment people at Southwest Airlines a question. Is it Jennifer Bauer that I need to talk to?
Can anyone help me out with an email address or contact phone number. Thanks guys.
