    Reserve and regional: how does mil drops work?

    Your last line "supplement the income and serve my country," caught my attention. Everything which has been said here is accurate. While this opportunity, at 27, may be your last shot at a flying job with the Guard/Reserve, don't rule out the Guard/Reserve if you don't get a flying job. I...

    Comair ?'s

    There is nothing to update. It's all been said on this board. The corporate update never happened. No chief pilot showed up. I just wanted to say one thing to whomever showed up..."we have LONG memories." They may have gotten word that we were not an especially happy group. If so, the...

    Great New Store for Luggage (and it's CHEAP!)

    I've had an e-bags 22" crew bag for 3-4 years now. It's a good bag. The telescoping handle has two different lengths. That's great for someone 5'10" or taller. I had the Samsonite bags, but the handles were too short and hit my heels. The good thing about those were they were gifts. There...

    Comair ?'s

    I have recurrent ground today and tomorrow. If something interesting comes up, I'll post it. For the next 6-9 months, I don't expect much. Several rumors are floating around. I take everything with a huge grain of salt these days. Fly safe!

    Airline to guard Transition...advise???

    I'll add a slightly different perspective about the enlistment route. In 1981, I did enlist. The unit I enlisted in (192d TFG, VaANG) selected me as an alternate. I did get a slot when another ANG unit couldn't fill an open slot. I went to AMS, then UPT. At UPT (CAFB), my blood pressure...

    Comair MEC recall...

    Surplus 1, I'm proved wrong again...you are not the individual I suspected. We didn't see eye-to-eye on many things when you were MEC chairman. Thanks for your continued support! Slim

    Spouse on the overnight?

    To answer the original question, it depends upon transportation between the hotel and the airport. If it's hotel provided transportation, most often, there isn't a problem. If it's a contract limo, it can become a problem. I had this happen years ago. Our F/A was a commuter from our layover...

    divorce corner

    I agree completely. BTW, it sounds like you married my ex! Three years after my separation, and subsequent divorce, I married my first wife. I've been married twice, but this is the first time I had a wife. My ex's idea of a give-and-take relationship was "you give...I take!" Now, I...

    Comair's got a T.A.

    There may be another perspective to this whole mess. How much pressure is ALPA National putting on the CMR MEC to go out on strike? This is only a theory, but it is feasible that ALPA wants a strike followed a permanent halt of flight operations at Comair. Why? A large chunk of RJDC funding...

    Best Regionals for Living in Greenville, SC (GSP)

    Comair has a GSO base and is hiring. However, if you can get a charter/corporate job in the GSO area, take it! The hiring at Comair is due to higher than expected attrition (due to bankruptcy), not growth. The company says they're hiring 36 pilots. Much of the attrition is pilots going to...

    DFW tailwheel/aerobatic instruction?

    In the early 1990s, there was a school at ADS which specialized in taildragger training. My father, who owns/is owned by a Citabria, looked at placing it there on a lease-back. Southwest Flight Academy is the name I remember, but that's probably not right. They were south of American Flyers...

    CFI Liability question

    Boot him past the curb and into the street! I had a student like him some 15-16 years ago. I gave him some dual but never signed him off for anything! I inherited this nut from a departing instructor. I came in one day and found out he was departing. I asked who was flying with him. The...

    NJ HR ?'s

    Here's a different one... How do you answer this question...does your employer know you are interviewing with us today? One of my F/Os was asked this question at UPS, then FEDEX. He told the UPS interviewer, "No. I'm on a scheduled day off." He didn't get the job. At FEDEX, he received the...

    ASA Mgmt. wants pref bidding why?

    PBS does not work well at Comair. First, when seniority is not honored in any PBS, it's not a good system. Just because a system is good for management does not mean it's a good system. A good system works well for both parties. An acceptable system means it is mutually acceptable to the...

    ASA Mgmt. wants pref bidding why?

    Having used both bidding methods, stay as far away from PBS as you can!!!!! My vacation time is diminished as compared to a system where you bid for schedules and are paid for trips missed due to vacation. Second, per our contract, one week's vacation isn't really worth seven days. At...

    Any new movement at NJ?

    I got the email today to schedule a June interview. The message emphasized hiring only for CMH and LAX. It also said "hiring for May training..." If only that could be true! Fly safe!

    Any new movement at NJ?

    I put CMH as my first preference, then DAL. I'm still waiting. I have a reference from one NJA captain and another who will provide a reference once I get the interview. My F/O from my last trip has an interview this month. His app was submitted in early February. Fly safe!

    Good taildragger needed

    My father has a Citabria available. I got my private in it. It's hangared in Newport News(PHF), VA. We considered relocating it to the DFW area 12-13 years ago. Both my parents used to fly, but no longer due to medical reasons and age. If you're interested, send me a PM. I'll contact...

    Any Branch Transfer Info

    If you are trying to get into a Guard unit, you will have to go through the respective states. You are reversing the flow. I know several former USAF, USN, USMC pilots who became WO pilots in the USAR/ARNG, but only know of one who went to the AF after flying in the Army. I doubt there are...

    Got the email from NJA

    Yes. I received the application accepted email two-three days after sending it in. It said the application met their requirements for acceptance and also said the next time I hear from them would be to schedule an interview. However, that was six weeks ago. I updated recently. Hopefully...
