Impressive wing up-bending tests for the Boeing 787 Dream Liner. http://787flighttest.com/hanger/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/mediaplayer/player.swf?streamer=rtmp://cp81820.edgefcs.net/ondemand/tpn/firstflight/&file=TestLog4.flv -

APA: No lump sums for retiring American Airlines pilots now
Wow, way to go keeping this thread on track "APA: No lump sums for retiring American Airlines pilots now ". 3 pages of crap from the usual guys that have to have the last word all the time. Raoul Duke, when my Dad took the lump sum he rolled it into the AA credit Union. I would say if your... -

Could this be the start of the END of Southwest Airlines?
Gay Looser. Why don't you go put your uniform on, hang out at Home Depot in the kitchen cabinet supply department, look into one of the mirrors on display and say.................I'm good looking and people like me! Then look around to see if anyone is watching you................anything here... -

Tricks on FA's
The best one over the years for me required a group effort with the other Flight Attendants and Especially the Gate agent. The New FA gets handed a note (Coctail napkin) right before they close the door for departure. The other FA's make sure there no where around when she receives the Cocktail... -

We are #1! .... Most Stressful job.
I have unfortunately been off Flight Status for years now with a grounding medical condition. I can tell you first hand I thought like most of you that there wasn't much stress with flying commercially. It took at least 6-12 months to de-program from the job for me. The stress we are... -

Air France 447 Found
I think they did a great job on the analysis on Nova. I am glad they found the wreckage on the bottom of the Ocean finally and hopefully can piece this all together with the newer clues. Back in the late 80's Midway Airlines went with new MD-80's and taught full up systems. They wanted... -

Southwest is a PFT'er.
The type rating requirement shows a potential Pilot's ability to "REALLY WANT" to work for Southwest Airlines. That's what most people on the outside don't understand. We all know you can train a monkey to fly an airplane (I am living proof) but they are looking for people in all positions to go... -

FFDO criticizes TSA gets visited at home by six LEOs
I have stated my opinions and I am through. Maybe a few Pilots got something after the history lesson, then again maybe not. The next round of improvements (or lapses with complacency) in security will come with this current generation of Pilots. Time will tell if its better, worse or about the... -

FFDO criticizes TSA gets visited at home by six LEOs
So maybe the military shouldnt have guns either? The thread was started about the TSA and a FDDO/Pilot that exposed a weakness in the system thats been around a long time. The FFDO program is here to stay. If you dont like it then try to change it. Other than that all the whining you do on FI... -

FFDO criticizes TSA gets visited at home by six LEOs
Gapping hole? You obviously havent gone through the program. Your scenario above may have been stopped if they had to go through the FFDO program. Pilot Physiological conditions aside its about as good a program you can do and has been a huge success measured by numbers and statistics. You have... -

FFDO criticizes TSA gets visited at home by six LEOs
I know there's a lot of Pilots here that werent flying for an airline back in 1987. Back then the Flight Crews were respected and part of the solution and didnt go through security like the flying public. After that PSA crash we were then thrown into the security mix and subjected to constant... -

FFDO criticizes TSA gets visited at home by six LEOs
OK, I take a shot at this question..............pun intended! A FFDO has taken 10 years minimum out of his life to get trained and be hired by a major airline for a life long profession as a Pilot. Then goes the extra mile and volunteers to be an FFDO, goes through many tests and like you said... -

For people that dont remember history it will definitely repeat itself if you dont learn from it. I have been around long enough to remember this! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1771 This crash is what started the whole "Flight Crew/Everybody" needs to go... -

TSA targets 'smoking hot' woman for naked scan; fondles children
All the Pilots should give themselves a pat on the back for standing tall and remaining united with this invasion of privacy. Its a good first step but needs to be followed up for the passengers too. The TSA has gone way to far and that needs to be corrected for sure. I wouldnt want my family... -
