    United 747

    Well, I should have added that we did most of ours in the good 'ole lower 48... But I figured that the experience in here would have known that the 72' wasn't making it across the pond this day in age... I'll make sure to clarify next time...

    I was going to say... Champion did quite a few WH Press Corp trips...

    Net t/o flight path - 2nd seg ?

    Give this a shot... (3.5/100) x 6076 = 212.66' / nm... If my math serves me right... Edit: But now that I'm reading what you wrote, does the SQUAT departure require 3.5% climb gradient? Or are you saying that your aircraft will produce a 3.5% climb gradient??? And the climb gradient that an...

    1st-4th segment climbs

    Champion shutting down / being sold

    Yeah, that's what I'm told. I'm looking forward to it!

    Champion shutting down / being sold

    I've got a Beechjet instructor position callin' my name at FSI - TOL. Champion was nice while it lasted. I'm going to miss the crews... I'm going to miss the airplane... I think that's about it.

    Champion shutting down / being sold

    Yup... That's exactly whats going to happen... Pilots were already bailing out of here at record numbers. And now that word is going around that we're losing flying left and right, they are going to have no shot at all at attracting new pilots. So management's idea of the 401k match to stem the...

    Champion shutting down / being sold

    Well, I'm all done with Champion at the end of the month, but partly yes, partly no. The CEO confirmed that they are looking for investors. Good luck finding investors with a completely disgruntled pilot group and 1970's era aircraft. In addition, MLT vacations informed Champion several...

    Consolidation??

    Great, thanks guys... I got snagged by this a couple of weeks ago and that extension would have fit nicely into my schedule...

    Consolidation??

    Do you happen to have the reg reference as to where it can be extended to 150 days??? Also, are you guys allowed to count pt 91 legs towards your consolidation requirement? We are not...

    Mesaba Upgrade less than 6 Months!!

    Well, as of yesterday, it's confirmed... October 8th class for the CRJ-900... So off to the bottom I go... But the alternative of commuting to DFW wasn't looking too good. Dude, we've got to get together and get a cold barley pop sometime!

    Mesaba Upgrade less than 6 Months!!

    Hey Mesabi, how many guys do you think are effected by the seat locks???
  15. Workin'Stiff

    Anyone heard from NWA?

    Yeah, I haven't received an email either.

    Mesaba Question and Military Duty

    Go do the interview, get hired and leave for -135 class like everyone has said... If I'm not mistaken, it's slightly illegal for them to even think about firing you when you are on MIL leave... So don't worry about that.. Get the 6 months of free seniority and come back to the line your...

    Any info on 3M company?

    Well thanks!.... Oh... Umm.. Wait! :smash: Yeah, I graduated in 2003. But I had heard rumors that the Arrow IV we purchased ended up having quite a bit of MX problems after I left. So off it went... Then I take it there was just a continuing reduction if total hull numbers... Ya know... If I...

    Champion closing DTW base?

  20. Workin'Stiff

    Is Mesaba still getting 9E CRJs? If so, why?

    It's been a while since I've been at XJ... But last time I checked, ALPA is not taking any aircraft from anyone... You may want to look Mother Northwest squarely in the eyes to find out the reason behind aircraft swapping...

    Any info on 3M company?

    When I was the prez with the Aero Club, we had 9 aircraft... 4 152's, 3 172's and 2 Arrows.... I think it's been reduced a bit since I've graduated...

    Champion closing DTW base?

    As sub-par as some of F/A's were/are, there are still good people in DTW who are going to be adversely affected by this move.

    Champion closing DTW base?

    Take your pick... It's usually a flavor of the week. Contract negotiations... Lack of crews... Upcoming NBA flying for our last season... MLT pulling all of our flying in DTW... Any and all are good options... DFW is safe for the time being... I sure as hell hope so, since I'm based there Oct...
