    Daaaang!

    You are absolutley correct! Most of the new guys were getting into aviation back in the "bad days" when it took 1,500 hours or more to get an airline job! I'm old enough (and I'm not even all that old) to remember the days when you would spend months searching for, and be willing to move across...

    2 day ATP course

    There is a free 'simulator' you can download on the Garmin website - Look on the links on the right side of the page towards the bottom. https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=194&pID=82

    Piedmont

    I have about 1200 hours in the Dash from pre-merger ALG and I thought it was a blast to fly. I have about the same amount of time in a CRJ and all things being equal (pay, QOL, etc.) I'd pick the Dash everyday of the week and twice on Sundays. It's not as archaic as everyone thinks. The Dash 8...

    XJT interview Email but no phone followup?

    Good for them, but if they can't handle the workload they need to increase the size of the HR staff. It's ridiculous to give someone a day and a half notice to travel across the country for an interview. Email communication is great and all, but they have to keep in mind that if the applicant is...

    Flight Safety

    For the type ride you are required to do 2 precision approaches (1 coupled and 1 Single engine hand flown ILS) and 2 nonprecision approaches (1 handflown). You will also do a circling approach - only a handful are "approved for checking" purposes.....JFK GPS or VOR 4L/R circle to 31R and Memphis...

    Sim time for CRJ

    Wow.....how quickly things have changed! I remember a time, not that long ago by the way, that 1500 hours was barely enough time to get a job as a flight instructor. (I know I'm exagerating a little bit but I think you get my point.) I believe that a sim at FSI in ATL would run you about $600...

    Colgan New Hire - WTFO!

    Good job on the highlighting - now find the paragraph that says there is no expiration date is you're employed by a 121 (or I think 135) carrier.

    Looking for rentals near LUK

    There is a new(er) school at Lunken that has a newer (1998 I **think**) Skyhawk. And an Alarus if you want a 2 seater.

    Flight Safety Instructor Jobs

    Again - depends on the center -- the center I'm at has been expanding soo rapidly it's been a challenge to get 'quality candidates'. When we interview a person it's way more important that we think the person has the personality and skills to be a good instructor....although there are some low...

    Flight Safety Instructor Jobs

    QOL - depends on how you define it....I think it's pretty good, I haven't slept in a hotel room since I started at FSI Schedule - all over the place....could be early, could be late, TOTALLY depends on the center and the program manager...there is no standard '4 on 3 off' type thing if that's...

    Low visibility taxi and takeoff

    For what it's worth - 500 feet RVR equals 150 meters which is the European low vis standard.

    Skywest FA makes Guy Pi$$ his Pants

    Depending on the flight YES! 1 hour flight maybe not but with some of the stage lengths that CRJ/ERJs are flying these days I would consider it a necessity. I delayed (greatly) 2 flights in a CRJ-200 that were blocked at 3+30 due to an inop crapper.

    V ref vs. V approach

    That's the same way Cessna does basically - the Cessna charts (at least in the Ultra and XLS) are predicated on crossing the threshold at 50' agl, at Vref, and throttles at idle. This of course means that you will be slower than Vref when you actually touchdown. The airplane doesn't fall out of...

    Beech Starship

    If anyone is in the market, NC-50 is for sale. No price listed but the ad does include the phrase "...full Raytheon support..." hahahahaha. http://adcache.aerotraderonline.com/2/9/1/85791991.htm CL

    They bought back most of them back but there are still a few in private hands....a couple flying and a couple for parts. CL

    Beech Starship

    Not a rumor - I just checked it out and you can indeed see a Starship sitting on the ramp. On the northwest side of the ramp. CL

    Beech Starship

    Shoot me a PM and let me know who you flew for but I don't think we did. Ours didn't necessarily change for tax purposes - we had one of the early Premier slots and as part of the deal they threw in a Starship for a reduced amount until we got the Premier. Under the deal, after a certain point...
