    Rejected Takeoffs CRJ900

    What's this? A genuine technical question on FI? It's like it's 10 years ago... The book I read during my ground training said first and foremost that it is the PIC's decision. As a guideline, though, we abort for just about anything below 80 kts. Above 80 kts, abort only for engine fire...

    Some things never change......

    For all it's faults, I'll bet ALPA has done more to fix this situation than you have. Did you read the guy's signature line? You are clearly not 'The Man who Counts'.

    SkyWest to IAD

    I think the danger here isn't Delta relaxing their scope to allow the regionals to fly more. The next logical move would be for all of the mainline carriers to establish pay rates for RJs that are waaaay below what is currently in the market. This solves mainline's cost issues. The bone that...

    Colgan Crash That Killed 50 Spurs Quest for Damages That Punish

    As an FO, I had an incident similar to this during my first year. To make a long story short, I stomped on the brakes to keep a Captain from taxiing onto an active runway, without a clearance, just as a Citation was crossing the fence. The Captain had the gall to begin chewing me out for...

    ASA Dullas day three: It has started

    Or, differently, why not take the initiative to do whatever you can legally and contractually to get the job done? It doesn't take a leap of faith to see that a lot of ASA's future prospects will be either helped or harmed by the results of the IAD/ORD operations. Yes, reserve sucks no matter...

    was told that NTSB decided Fatigue had nothing to do with Colgen crash

    I don't disagree with the facts of what you posted here. It truly was their responsibility to show up to work adequately rested. Also, there is no way of knowing to what level fatigue affected their responses. However, neither of us worked at Colgan at the time of the accident. Just as...

    CRJ Pilots

    An RJ is not an owner flown, or recreational aircraft. You should get this info when you go to training. If you want to get a head start, your employer should provide these materials.

    ASA & the PBS Debacle.

    Note to self...ALWAYS log out of FI.com before leaving crew room....

    Atlanta snow?

    For every 'scientist' that espouses the Chicken Little belief that the environmental sky is falling (typically in support of scamming even more federal grant money for scientific 'research'), there is another scientific professional with real, hard data explaining the reality of the Earth's...

    Atlanta snow?

    Okay, what are your predictions for snow for Friday, 12 Feb at KATL? I predict less than 2 inches of snow. Enough to shut the airport and the rest of the city down. Confusion and pandemonium.

    Why there's a good chance of a future pilot shortage

    To each his own, but if I were still under 30 and had the option to do so, I would pursue a Guard/Reserve UPT slot. In fact, I would give my right arm, (to be taken when I am 65) to go back in time and right some wrongs in my life and really pursue the military route.

    Vote NO on ASA PBS

    There is no such thing as a 'perfect' method of building schedules and work rules for pilots at any airline. The very term 'perfect' is simply too subjective. To expect that any agreement with the airline would be 'perfect' for all parties involved is evidence of poor critical thinking skills...

    Colgan 3407 Findings

    The FAA is supposed to create that "balance" evenly among all operators. Agreed. I think we all know, as pilots in the regional world, that the FAA is not making that balance happen.

    Colgan 3407 Findings

    Not the best plan. Alternatives?

    Colgan 3407 Findings

    Counter point: the corporate fiduciary duty was to the shareholders of the company. I'm sure there are boldy printed mission statements, objectives, principles, and appropriate "go-team" corporate buzz words. What the management team of Colgan, Pinnacle, and Continental are ultimately graded on...

    CAL Hiring Mid- to Late-2010

    Nah, not peaking in 2012, but probably starting around 2012. SWAG: Peak sometime around Summer/Fall of 2013.

    Colgan 3407 Findings

    Are you saying that you would prefer an increase in dues to give ALPA a Check Airman role at each property? Are you saying that you personally should be the judge of flying skills of line flying pilots? What are you saying here?

    New Pilot Certification Requirements for Air Carrier Operations

    The immediate way to fix this is to no longer count hours logged as a CFI as PIC. Those that want to CFI, will. They will be paid more, and will be able to make a living sharing valid knowledge, not simply holding on until they have the mins to get an airline job. Quality of instruction...
