    Allegiant is hiring FOs

    Thanks for this bit of information. I applied, but have one unofficial offer from one carrier and a class date with another. Both provide hotel rooms during training.

    Commute to hold a line vs. living in base on reserve?

    If you can commute to your base, hold a line AND drive if necessary, commuting to a base to hold a line may be viable. This is my current situation. I could stay in my previous base as a senior F/O, but not as a reserve CA. Next month, I go on short call after two months on long call and a...

    USAA question...

    I have USAA for homeowners and auto. My life insurance is with First Penn Pacific Life Insurance. When I retired from the ARNG, I asked a neighbor to help find a replacement for SGLI which would also cover my flying. He found it...$250,000 at $118 per quarter. My parents had problems with...

    Has an in house union gone on strike before and since deregulation?

    The APFA (flight attendant union) struck AA for five days in 1993. It was originally intended to be a 10-day strike. Then President Clinton intervened persuading Bob Crandall to accept binding arbitration. If memory serves correctly, 900-1,000 F/As crossed, but AA flew mostly empty airplanes...

    Comair is Recalling 100 Pilots

    According to a memo posted on EPIC, the first group of recalls is to have training completed by July...no number mentioned. I think the number remaining on furlough wil be 213 assuming the next 100 recalled all accept. I don't think that will happen.

    American Eagle ..HIRING....

    First, to the several individuals questioning the synthetic fuel the Air Force plans on using... The Air Force has developed a blend of JP8 and liquified coal fuel, or liquified natural gas. The blends were tested in a B-52, then certified for use in the B-52, B-1 and C-17 fleets. So far as I...

    help on recommendations for UPT

    Thanks. That's one of the links I was looking for. I was afraid I was going to get that answer on age.

    help on recommendations for UPT

    A former F/O is looking into pilot training with the ANG and the ARNG. He's asked me for a recommendation. He's prior service and is a Part 121 captain. He's over 30, but I don't know how far over he is. He is also a divorced (non-custodial) father of two. He also told me the ARNG is no...

    Synthetic Jet Fuel - News Story

    Lear Love wrote: this is BS to the max. The air force is completely irresponsible wrt to coal based fuel. All they are trying to do is offset their fuel costs then take that money for other stuff - i have nothing wrong with that however the impact on the earth with coal based fuel is horrible...

    Nice flyover!!

    It was an unusual flyover! Since I'm retired Army, I am curious as to the utilization of the Osprey. Given that it happened at DCA, it was unusual. One wouldn't expect a flyover at DCA because of nearby prohibited airspace. Most military RW aircraft fly up the Potomac, over the east bank...

    Nice flyover!!

    I don't know who did this one, but many thanks to the Osprey crew who was flying in the vicinity of DCA on 10 April. I was on the ramp when they, in order, flew south over the Potomac, then turned around and overflew the Rwy 4 centerline. Having never seen the Osprey in flight, my crew and I...

    FA --> Pilot

    futureflyer, Two things. First, once in UPT, there will be NO time for you to do something on the side. You'll be on active duty orders and won't need the distraction of something on the side. Second, go to the military thread on this board to look for answers to your questions. Many...

    Friend wants to become a FA

    There's only one thing I can add to everything said above...have something in your back pocket for days off or a change of pace. The happiest F/As I worked with, as well as the ones I work with now, have something going on besides their airline job. I had a reserve military career. There...

    FA --> Pilot

    Been there...done that! It took me a lot longer than I hoped, but no complaints overall. Like one mentioned above, I went the military route...in a back, a$$wards way! I got into an ANG unit, and started UPT. Then I was medically disqualified and returned to being a F/A at a major. Meantime...

    Army Guard

    Here's what I did... While in the ARNG, I committed to another six years of service in exchange for Montgomery GI Bill benefits. Chapter 106 pertains to benefits for flight training. I had a B.A. at that point. I don't know how flight traininng benefits would be paid in conjunction with...

    PBS or Not

    When I was a F/A at AA, the company tried tro get us to convert to PBS. It didn't happen. I've been at Comair for over 10 years and detest the PBS system. There are few things I miss about AA, but the ability to bid hard lines is definitely what I miss the most. PBSs have the potential to...

    29 1/2 What are my options????

    "I WANT TO FIGHT for this country." If you are that serious about defending this country, you could do what I did...serve in a non-flying unit and a non-flying MOS. I did so for 20 years in the National Guard. The demands of a non-rated military job meshed well with the demands of a flying...

    Comair/Mesaba

    I'm curious about your source of information. CoATP may be right. Did you hear this in ops or a recurrent training class or somewhere else? In most cases, such information is useless speculation. If you want to see what happens to wholly owned subsidiaries, look at USAirways and Piedmont.
