Engine flameout...restart or no?
I had a Lear 25 flame out once in the middle of the night during descent into Amarillo. Just spooled back to a windmilling state without a single annunciator lighting up. I took the radio and had the FO work his way through the QRH. We got everything secured properly and I asked him: "Looks... -
The tattooed wife
FlightInfo membership? ...Ten dollars a year. Lower back tattoo? ...Two hundred dollars. Asking for Martial advice from the sociopaths on FI? ...Priceless. Good call on the counseling. Don't listen to us morons. Good luck - I hope y'all come out of this stronger.- LJDRVR

Bates Shoes
Eccos with the fiberglass shank. My pair is over four years old and 3500 hours of flying. I'm about to replace the shoe laces - everything else looks really good. Best shoes I ever owned. -
Is anyone hiring?
COPA's a joke. Unless you've got a girlfriend in Panama City. 35K a year for a 737 CA. Anybody in the know please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I heard. -
AA sued over peanuts!! Gimme a break
Reasonable: So, I'm an MD. My kid's allergic to peanuts. I was told several times when I asked AA about the issue that peanuts may be present on the airplane. Peanuts may threaten my son's life. My options are: Don't fly, avoid the risk completely. Load up son on benadryl and make sure... -

KC-135's
The 707 and KC-135 would have had the same cross section had Douglass not come out with a 3 X 3 configuration for the DC-8. Even though the Boeing was well ahead of the DC-8 on the timeline, Douglas's order book was rapidly filling up - including an unexpected 50/50 split with Pan American... -
Shameless CAL Upgrade
Your friend is SOL. I've never ridden in BF and I work here. -
Boyd's take on $4 jet fuel and AA's new fees
Yep, I know we're at $11.79, but I couldn't find WN's numbers in their filing. -
Boyd's take on $4 jet fuel and AA's new fees
Not sure about your CASM number. I'm pretty sure us whipped dogs at CAL are cheaper than anybody, thanks to 25 years of concessionary negotiations. An interesting thing about Southwest is that when compared to all other carriers, their percentage of labor cost per total revenue is higher than... -
CAL to furlough
Oh no.....SCAB fighter pilots! I love training department rumors. Almost as accurate as check-airman-jumpseater-who-talked-to-Smisek-at-Burger-King rumors. -

CAL to furlough
No disrespect meant at all, but you folks spreading rumors are playing right into management's hands. They want you scared, uncertain and convinced that we are being hurt by bad ole' oil. Here are some facts: We would have made 129 million net 1Q if it wasn't for the LHR slots we... -

Professionalism Revisted
You guys need to look past the poster here. Regardless of what you think of Rez, the text in his post is a speech by Bob Sumwalt. A safety warrior who has busted his ass to improve air carrier safety for decades. Set aside your dislike of Rez and read the speech for it's own merits. There... -

Cal ecpected to cave on scope
There will be NO scope relief at CAL. This company is making money hand over foot right now, in a world-class competitive position against other network carriers and although some of our weak-minded folks will be fooled by their "hide the profit" Ponzi schemes and "Woe is us, fuel is sooo... -
AA Flight 48 oopsy
Post of the day! Please take your well-reasoned, logical thinking elsewhere. :D -
AA Flight 48 oopsy
I knew it! :D All kidding aside, I see what you're saying, but I still think your painting with a larger brush than necessary. You break this down in terms of a stronger focus on accountability vs. risk management. It's the latter we should be concerned with. I agree there are a lot of... -
AA Flight 48 oopsy
Wow, thread drift. In Grissom's defense, both time technicians activated the hatch jettison mechanism during the Mercury Program, they broke their arms. The hatch really did just blow. -
AA Flight 48 oopsy
Huh? Your mechanics are now accountants? Is maintenance control at your airline performed by bean-counters? You don't have much of an opinion of your fellow airmen. (Last time I checked, those folks in maintenance control had an airman's certificate in their wallet.) -
