    UPS Airbus down in Birmingham

    I cannot believe that some on here are already casting blame on the crew and the gender of the crew when nothing is known about the nature of this accident. A total lack of class, grow up!

    Why is AT&T losing its pilots?

    Basically ex-Marine means you were kicked out with a bad discharge (OTH, BCD or DD).

    Age limit will increase to 67 by years end.

    I agree with you. Being in Part 91 we can fire any pilot who doesn't perform regardless of age. I guess in the unionized airlines it isn't so easy to get rid of poor performers? But they still have to get a First Class medical and pass their checkrides I guess?

    Age limit will increase to 67 by years end.

    I don't see age 60, 65 or 67 as realistic retirement ages any longer. 70 is the new 60, so that seems about the right time to go. With people living into their 80's and 90's now you have to work longer to survive. The decline in health care that will come with Obamacare might change this, but...

    SEA Hotel

    You can walk to the Doubletree, I think it costs about $170 a night, they have a good bar for a cheap hotel.

    Delta parking 10 75s. 717 delivery "fluid"

    As a frequent DAL customer I will ask why don't you park those POS MD88's and keep the 757's flying? Seems like a 757 has more flexability on what it can do, can't really burn much more fuel than an old MD88 and is way more comfortable for passengers.

    Why is AT&T losing its pilots?

    After all that has been said here, why would anybody want to go back to ATT?

    New hires dipping out of CRJ-XJT

    No, the airline that is less crappy than Skywest... The person I am trying to help is already retired from the military.

    New hires dipping out of CRJ-XJT

    Ok, everything else aside; where can they go that pays a signing bonus? Can someone name the place?

    ASA For A Newhire

    Thanks for all of the responses. What are the bases a newhire can expect? I gather from the replies that ATL is now a senior base?

    ASA For A Newhire

    Ok, can anybody tell me what equipment they might fly, where they might be based, what reserve is like? Is Willy still in charge of scheduling?

    ASA For A Newhire

    It would be great to have a schedule, but sadly I must pass. A guy I work with's wife is looking at it. I can probably talk her out of it.

    ASA For A Newhire

    I am trying to get some info on what life will be like at ASA for a newhire for a friend who is interviewing there. I worked at ASA a long time ago, I read all of the ASA threads, it looks like things have changed a lot there since I left so this is why I am asking. Please spare me the drama...

    173 Contract Towers Closing

    I bet half of our pilots don't know how to get an IFR clearance at a non-towered airport.

    Cabin announcements

    We make a PA before takeoff and landing. The PA system isn't very loud so I doubt the passengers know what we are saying.

    Regulated Garbage, What Do You Do With It?

    We only have 9 to 12 flights per year that require us to deal with regulated garbage when we arrive in the US. We currently have a regulated garbage program where we use an outside vendor to dispose of our garbage. The CBP is now requiring a compliance agreement and a SOP based on their new...

    HondaJet Impressions

    I think I saw their (HondaJet) sales HQ in the FBO in Rochester, NY (not sure it wasn't in some other crappy place in upstate NY), anyway, I didn't really see any Honda people there. I don't know much about this HondaJet, but based on what I saw I would buy the Hyundai Jet.
