FEX written
Well I just studied from my old 2005 ASA book and scored 100% on the FEX. I recognized every question. I get the distinct impression that there's "nothing new under the sun" and that the Feds aren't investing any effort in a nearly defunct rating. Toob: It's only a $140 written (choke) a... -
Republic gone in 2011?
Damn that awful Southwest, whose epic hubris let them walk into a complex deal unprepared and outmatched in the court by Bedford of all people. Damn that awful Southwest for trying to get by on their laurels alone, not bringing nearly enough money to the table, in the process screwing up what... -
Republic gone in 2011?
It's all good score, one just gets hyper defensive round these parts after a while. :) -

Republic gone in 2011?
Nice quote scoreboard. Borders is going bankrupt, Frontier is a buyout candidate, but much more fun to blur the distinction for anyone who skims your post. It is an interesting article, regardless. -
Republic/Frontier/Midwest SLI Arbitration?
Prior to April, 2008 Frontier was an amazing place to work. When you met someone and said you worked at Frontier, the near universal response was "I love Frontier." Not like, but love. I was taken aback, having been raised in a legacy family and having worked for a craptastic regional, that... -

Kauai Helo Jumpseat
+1. A $200 ride that was worth every penny. Pure magnificence. -
Republic/Frontier/Midwest SLI Arbitration?
Red herring. Without the SLI complete, it wouldn't matter if not a soul touched opentime, it still wouldn't bring Midwest or Lynx guys back in seniority order. They have been welcome to join Republic newhire classes for a long time, but haven't exactly been beating the door down to rejoin the... -

Virgin America down to 22 million in unrestricted cash
Ralph, just invoke a highly offensive four-letter word such as "crap" or "darn" and clrd4theapch will be all over this thread like a cheap suit. -

QOL at Redwood
At the risk of redirecting this thread to the QOL at Redwood, what is the Cali tax impact on commuters? Any unavoidable state or municipal taxes withheld from an out of state resident? For example the City of Denver demands something like 2/10ths of 1%, and it only matters that you're based... -
A-320 question
I refuse to dedicate valuable keyboard cycles to a cost index explanation, but here's a good thread with some higher level deiscussion and links to Airbus material on the topic. http://www.pprune.org/tech-log/424258-cost-index.html -

Side stick vs. traditional yoke
This!! The Airbus would attain near perfection with these two changes. -
Some interesting reading on the Qantas emergency
Hey I have no desire to ever take an Airbus into a combat zone. But for boring people hauling it does pretty well. On the A380 you can drain both hydraulic sytems and still have roll control. I think that's impressive. The engine that couldn't be shut down - two different wire looms that were... -
Some interesting reading on the Qantas emergency
Oh for the love....Beyond multiple hydraulic systems powering the surfaces, an aileron can be driven with nothing but electrical power, as there is a unitary electric hyd pump associated with the control surface. But you knew that. -

What do RJET pilots think happens after RJET SLI?
Didn't ICAO mandate English proficiency a couple years back? Regardless, IBT pilots seem satisifed and/or optimistic with the new local, and often point to its relative independence as a positive. FAPA pilots are satisifed with their representation, and also value it's independence. So why... -
