    UFlyMike Bose Adaptor

    The UFlyMike setup is great. Yes, if the battery goes out, you lose all audio (though the mic will still transmit in any case), but when you use non-rechargable batteries, you get something like 5 hours of warning (blinking light on the headset) before they die. (Bose recommends not using...

    On the subject of Vmc...

    > Suffice it to say Vmc cannot be below stall speed because at the stall you will lose directional control if you had not already. Not really. Stall speed varies with weight, Vmc varies with power. With a light airplane (low stall speed), you could establish what Vmc would be at various...

    Best headset for 737?

    > Does the ANR on the Telex 850 get powered on the 737, since it needs a hot mic for power Yes, at least in the -300 & up. There IS hot mic going to the CVR, just not to the other pilot, so the mic DOES have power all the time. I think some of the -200's may have caused difficulty with that...

    Average Take Off Roll Times

    Gross weight affects roll a LOT in the 737, and probably many of the other jets named. Take a lightweight -700, with a good headwind, and a max thrust takeoff (not the norm, but there are various reasons you'd do a max thrust takeoff even when performance-wise you could derate it a lot), you're...

    WHICH PLANE? A320 or 737

    The Jet Blue fleet is still pretty new, while the total 737 fleet averages at least one decade, maybe two, with jets back to the 1960's still in service. If you have to use a new fleet of Airbus jets still under warranty to match the dispatch reliability of a huge fleet of new-thru Jurrasic...

    737-300 Study Guides?

    I don't think those books cover the -200. Nolly productions makes a systems review video for the -200. It's dry, his humor is awful, and the production values are acceptable but nothing special... i.e. you see him using his pointer on a paper diagram while he talks. It is, however, clear and...

    Systems review DVD/Video/Audio for 737 wanted

    http://www.nolly.com/products/737300.html cheesy but he does cover classic systems. Too bad he doesn't do a product for the NG's.

    DEN - Frontier and SWA - predictions?

    SWA & Frontier will both do fine in Denver. SWA's arrival may force Frontier to trim its sails a bit, but I strongly doubt Frontier is in mortal danger. The far, far more interesting question is about United's future, and there are far more factors than just Southwest's arrival in DEN...

    Southwest Airlines' Executive Chairman Herb Kelleher Testifies at Senate Subcommittee

    Like Herb said in the hearings, he "accepted" the WA the same way the Germans "accepted" the end of World War One, i.e. with a gun to his head. To the extent that it didn't kill his airline, the WA was a compromise that he didn't have to oppose in order to survive, but that's a far, far cry...

    Question for Southwest pilot

    Should be able to connect thru LAS immediately. If only a nonstop will do, probably have a year or two to wait. If a direct (same plane) will do, you'll probably have that at least as soon as OAK-DEN kicks in, which may be quicker, like maybe a year or maybe less. Barely informed guesses...

    Southwest Airlines' Executive Chairman Herb Kelleher Testifies at Senate Subcommittee

    Gotta comment on the "majority of citizens want SWA to fly out of DFW" line. First, those numbers come from surveys taken at DFW by people already physically there to fly. Not couched as "do you favor repealing Wright or SWA coming here," but simply "would you like to see SWA at DFW?" Well...

    LASIK and pupil size

    You may be thinking military, but even their rules are evolving. If you can hold the first class, the airlines are generally pretty content with that. The legal beagles can explain what it is about the ADA that keeps the airlines from imposing stricter standards than the FAA Class I, but that's...

    SWA Class Dates

    From a buddy who recently made the trip to Mecca (i.e. had recurrent training at the Training Center), newhire classes are currently scheduled as follows: none in September, then 3/mo for October, November, and December. Tone was that this isn't set in stone, and that something may be shaved...

    Sim time as PIC time??

    It's your logbook, so you can write anything you want in it. No reason not to put sim rides in there, since they are good for a few things, like approach currency. I'll let the legal beagles speak to the legality of counting sim time on FAA applications (i.e. toward hours requirements for an...

    S.W.A. to bring on Regional?

    Back when JetBlue was looking at E-190's, SWA took a good hard look at using smaller jets as well. JB decided yes, and SWA apparently decided no. There are a world of reasons that the "no" decision makes excellent sense for SWA, and there have been absolutely zero rumors of any such thing...
