Supply-Side case for unions....
Agreed, mostly because of the reason below, in my opinion. Yes the FARs are for air safety (mostly). But the lengthy trainign process mandated by the FARs is beneficial to the union. For example, if a pilot union goes on strike tomorrow (no RLA) it will take months to put a pilot through...- paulsalem

Supply-Side case for unions....
I've read the books quoted above, and I agree with them. However I like Ron Paul's take on unions: (paraphrasing) In a free society, people should be free to unionize and attempt to bargain with management. Management should be free to choose to bargain with the union or to hire non-union...- paulsalem

Jumpseat form required?
Is that what your FOM states? The last airline I worked at had jump seat agreements with companies not in CASS. They were limited to cabin seats.- paulsalem

P180 Vs. Phenom 300 - Avantair Ad
I'm not sure what the P300 is like but the P100 hydroplanes like crazy, and breaks a lot. We've had 5 AOGs in one year and have complied with over 45 SBs. The plane is built like crap. Hopefully the P300 is built a little better and can handle the work load that NJ will put on it.- paulsalem

Jumpseating on American
List ahead of time, and prepare to grovel at the feet of the all powerful gate agent. If you are lucky you'll be denied boarding with your head still attached. -

Worst area for weather?
I fly through this area weekly. It ranks near the top on the planet in lightning strikes. It's always air mass thunderstorms so there is always holes between them. The tropopause is usually in the mid-upper 50,000 foot range, so there is no topping them. It's not as bad as central Africa... -

Instrument Competency Check
You need an IPC - Instrument Proficiency Check. The requirements are contained in the PTS here. See page 31 for a breakdown of the sections required. Not sure on the FTD thing, do some reading in the PTS and some googling. -

Use G3 Visas this time, and get a second US passport after the first one is renewed. -

No ANR headsets on takeoff?
If you seat was reclined it is a danger to the person behind you...supposedly. Frankly US flights would be better with no FAs and a vending machine. -

CAMP or Flight Docs???
We are switching from FD to CAMP, because Embraer is. I've never used CAMP so I can't help you. But the project manager at our service center likes FD better. FD was started by a former CAMP employee, so I'm betting they're similar. -
