Without bothering to read the entire thread, I'll throw in my two cents. My former employer, for whatever reason, did not have many woman pilots. I think it was something like 3 or 4. Only one of them was a captain, who spent most of her time in the training center, and only got out on the...
I'll tell you what NOT to say. A few years ago I was attending an interview at one regional after getting the runaround from another. They asked why I wanted to leave my current employer to start over at their place. I explained the bumpy ride from the previous two years and said "I'd like to...
I'd pull the mixtures to cutoff and let the backfiring engines blow the ice off the inlets, but only after I go to the back and throw a few hundred pounds of cargo out to lighten the load.
I'm sure you'd really rather not know. What you don't know won't hurt you. Thats why I never fold down the bed and get in until after I turn the lights off.
In 121 operations after a while, you will become familiar enough with alot of the aproaches you do that approach briefings will sound like a broken record. "Okay, ILS 27R, chart index blah blah, dated blah blah, localizer freq is such and such, course is XXX, top is this, bottom is this, missed...
Couple of years ago, we were taxing into the gate at PIT. We were converging with a USAirways 757 on a perpendicular taxiway, and neither us nor the 757 had instructions to give way or not. So we both come to a stop, and after a few seconds the 757 starts to roll out in front of us. At this...

Everybody has a bad day now and then, don't sweat it. Just learn from it. I remember one day I was up practicing touch and goes by myself as a student and dropped a 152 so hard I swear I saw the entire left wheel in the corner of my eye as the gear flexed up. Better the mains rather than the...
I believe the number peaked around 300 some time ago, with a fair amount of excess in anticipation of further deliveries that sadly never came. Round two of bancruptcy obviously brought deliveries and further hiring (flowing-thru really) to a screeching halt. There has been a significant amount...
Where do you think all the pigeons and sea gulls from the old trailer ramp went? Right into your lunch probably. Anybody remember that really fat pigeon with the wire stuck on his leg? I'm sure I probably ate him sometime back in the summer of '01.
I was walking into work yesterday and noticed an ASA ATR climbing out from BUF. Never seen one up there and was just wondering how it found it's way up to the Great White North. A one time only replacement for a broken CRJ? I imagine it's a long haul to Atlanta in an ATR.
