Alaska Hiring
Alaska hiring Horizon Pilots In the last year or so, Alaksa has taken quite a few Horizon pilots. I believe all of them have been CA and most seem to be Dash 8 drivers. I've known 90 percent of the ones who have left and they all seem to have at least one and a half to four years as Captain...- qxeplt

how to land a dash 8?!
I've tried nose up, flat landings just about every type. Everyone has their own technique. If you go for the flat ones make sure you're a bit on the fast side of ref cause it always seems there's a certain speed where the back end kind a falls out and If you're going for the flat look and the... -
how to land a dash 8?!
Here's my trick... On G/S hold Vref+5 all the way down until the start of the flare. Crossing threshold slowly reduce to about 10 to 12% torque and flare as normal. I seem to get better landings using both hands on the yoke. You can feel the elevator control pressure better that way. Oh and... -

Off Line Jump Seating
My experience... I have jumped SWA a ton and everytime I pre board. Almost always I've had the counter folks tell me to board with all the pre board passengers. Why do you think people love jumping on SWA? It's cause they treat you like you're their own. I always thought it was way cool of... -
