    Just like a 150...

    Just because you can, even safely, doesn't mean you should.

    Article on FAA Rest Rules

    Nope, its back on the engineer's panel. Its hard enough to keep them awake on a regular basis. And 40W can be quiet, until its busy, and you actually have to stay awake and do what you are being paid to do. The nap time idea can help, but if that is the only significant change offered to 121...

    Article on FAA Rest Rules

    We can certainly reduce fatigue to far less dangerous levels, and it doesn't have to bankrupt the airlines either. Just because we can't be perfect is no excuse not to do better. Power napping is a tool, but it is nothing close to a comprehensive solution. Cruise is certainly no time to let...

    Article on FAA Rest Rules

    This doesn't really help your argument, as you chose to fly tired for convenience sake. It demonstrates that a crew's judgement may be impaired by fatigue and and therefore cannot always be trusted. Studies have found that driving fatigued has the function equivalent of driving while...

    Article on FAA Rest Rules

    I think it is a good idea, and think it will help, but I do not support any extension of duty time or justifying longer duty periods based on its use. There are too many things that can occur that will either keep you from sleeping or require you to stay awake to bank on being able to bank on...

    Article on FAA Rest Rules

    Thats odd, many other countries in the world seem to have come up with rest rules that do a better job of addressing the issues of long haul flying better than the 121 supplemental rules do. It is almost like no one in this country has ever tried to do better.

    Kalitta / Atlas Air lifestyle

    Is having a life or style a prerequisite for having a lifestyle? I have neither, but it is still a pretty good job most of the time. The worst part for me is the effect that the extended absences have on my family, but I just remind myself that unemployment has worse effects.

    Kalitta A300 ?

    Might have just bought them for the engines, then part the rest out and resell it.

    heavy/double crew logging?

    When flying as SIC, I logged the number of hours in the seat as SIC, and the total time of the flight under total. I just got out of the seat, not off the flight. If I was acting as IRO (relieving the captain) I logged the time in the seat under a column marked IRO. Depending on where future...

    heavy/double crew logging?

    I log it all. I was required to be on the aircraft in order to make it legal. If I was PIC, I signed the release and log book, regardless of who was in the seat.

    How to apply at Atlas?

    download a free trial of the full version of adobe. Good for 30 days I think.

    Logging IRO time?

    I just put a column in my log book, labeled it "IRO" and don't add it to anything else. I can always go back and add it in later if I need to, with adjustments.

    Weight restrictions out of HKG and NRT

    Come to the dark side, on Kalitta you can ride from HKG to ORD, CVG, EWR, JFK, or LCK, depending on which flight you are on. The classics usually stop in KHV, and the 400s sometimes stop in ICN, but those are only fuel stops.

    Evergreen pilots vote to authorize strike

    Kalitta does not DHD you in First class, unless they really need you there and no other seats are available. Or God himself commands it, and travel would probably argue with God.

    Cargo Dogs and aging

    This has the potential to explain many things about my co-workers.

    Captain Clarence Oveur is dead, long live Capt Oveur

    They could always upgrade Roger. He's probably paid his dues by now.

    Diarrhea in a freighter?

    Guilty of that too, but we were about number 8 in the line up for take off. I was clever enough to pick the side of the plane that faced away from the tower, but dumb enough so that a all the folks on the right side of a Southwest flight that was holding in position were traumatized.

    Diarrhea in a freighter?

    And tragedy is when you are the one turning it into an open sewer.

    Diarrhea in a freighter?

    Just goes to prove that some things are timeless.

    Will YOUR jet fit in here ?

    Yes. But only once.
