JetBlue anti-union rhetoric
I know your anti-ALPA but JB is NOT MDA...so please stop comparing. US Air sold MDA to Republic, ALPA did not screw you out of a job... -
Logging IRO time?
I agree. If your an FO and the CA is napping you don't get to log PIC. If the flight is 12 hrs, then log 12 hrs as FO or CA. ICAO/FAR's require 2 type rated FO's and one type rated CA. FO and CA is what's on your paycheck and it's your job title. -
Emirates aims for 120 A380s... See Reuters Article
I'm surprised Qatar Airways wasn't on the list. The only airlines I have not flown on that list is Air NZL and Virgin Australia (used to fly a lot of positioning flights as a freight dog). My top two were Etihad and Qatar with EK being 3rd. I actually thought Korean Air was really good and JAL...- House_X

Delta Hiring Rumors
I met a female Delta FO this year, her last job was flying KC-135's in the AF. Blaming women/minorities for your short comings is soooooooo 1980's.... -
The JetBlue ALPA drive has officially started.
You think you got screwed at your last union carrier just wait till someone buys you out at your non-union carrier...scope, merger protection, medical insurance, retirement, these are serious issues that need to negotiated, they will not be given by charity... -

Which major will Republic get in bed with now?

The Jetblue ALPA drive has officially started
oh yeah, it's the UAW's fault GM continued to build Hummers, SUV's and Pick-ups (with sky high oil prices) instead of fuel efficient cars (while paying out huge bonuses and dividends) rather than investing in new technologies like Ford did. Yeah, those unions at Alaska, SWA, Delta, FedEx etc... -
Which country's ATC is hardest to understand?
Saudi Arabia , Korea and India are a piece of cake...when you start getting used to to Karachi and Yangon control on HF. Worst I've heard recently is Curacao control...the papiamento accent is tough to decipher... -

Yeah, World tends to complicates things. -
Video of ANA pilots flying 787 for first time
When I was flying freight, one of our FO's got busted in Brussels (by an EU official) for not wearing the vest on the walk around. At my current employer, we have the glow in the dark vest on every airplane, it's ICAO standard to wear it and many countries enforce this rule. Your "Sojushi" may... -

JetBlue/SWA linkup may be in the works.
Lemme guess, Transcon, Flaps 3, 2/3 Galley, Packs Off, TOGA T/O out of BUR with a tech stop in LAS? What a minute...something's wrong...is that a B6 flight taking off in broad daylight? -
Airbus drivers
I've flown both products. Flying the Airbus is like wiping your a$$ with silk...Boeing is like wiping it with sandpaper.- House_X

Qatar Airways anyone?
Depends on the company contract T&C's. After flying freight out of India, it changed my perspective. It's a fascinating country and you can live like P-Diddy at the fraction of the cost of Dubai with the right contract. The Spice Jet and Indigo expats seemed to be enjoying it. Lot's of money...- House_X

Qatar Airways anyone?
"Jetta" was due to going over the Mai Tai limit. I never lived in the M/E, but I lived in Japan for 7 months. I've got a few friends at EK. They all like it "ok", but they would all take a class at SWA, UPS or FedEx at the first opportunity available.- House_X

Qatar Airways anyone?
I've flown freight all through the Middle East and here is my raking of livable cities for Westerners (with airlines that hire expats) 1. Dubai 2. Abu Dabi 3. Doha 4. Jetta 5. Riyadh Of course, I would take any city in Asia over living in Dubai...- House_X

Qatar Airways anyone?
Do they still have a "termination department"? Heard some of the guys at QR often move on to other jobs after a few years. Doha was a bit too conservative for the average westerner, makes Dubai seem like Chico State on a Saturday night. Great airline to fly on as a pax though...- House_X

Too bad JAL didn't get help from DAL.....
How is putting IASCO Flight Instructors on the street a blessing? You guys are complaining about the traffic at Napa? GA in the Bay Area is like a ghost town compared to what it was in the late 1990's. Also, JAL (and ANA) cut their training way back compared to the 1990's as well. It is a great... -
Delta to hire 300 pilots this year
The black pilots and female pilots from Delta that sat on my jumpseat were all ex-military and flew heavies. Drop the affirmative action excuse...doesn't work anymore.... -
