    ATA Application on its way! Wish me luck

    I sent mine in on Monday 8/5 as well..... When my app arrived, there was NO MAILER in the stupid thing. I was horrified - do ya call, knowing they don't want calls from pilot applicants, or just send it in a normal envelope and hope?? Well, I called. The gal I talked to was very nice...

    ? for Omni, Transmeridian, and Miami Air

    Hello everyone - I would like to hear from any pilots from Transmeridian, Omni Air, and Miami Air regarding threats (from our own company) of you guys picking up our charter contracts if we go on strike (30 day cooling off is imminent). I would like to get some intelligence on what is really...

    Additional UAL Pilot Furloughs today

    Not so bad news....(?) Not to sound flip - but this seems like a pleasantly smaller number than I was expecting. This would leave the total so far around 1000 to 1100, no? This is half what has been talked about. Do you have any new info on further furloughs? I have actually started seeing...

    Job Fairs?

    I have had a very positive experience with these fairs. Though Mr. Publisher is correct in the assertion that AIR Inc's charging policies result in a slightly different blend of employer / employee prospects, I would defend it. Though United, American, et al may not pay to be there, it...

    Unlimited Jumpseaters

    Champion Air allows unlimited jumpseaters (in the cabin for now, of course). When everyone gets cockpit access again, we have 2 jumpseats in the cockpit, plus all empty seats in the back. Champion runs flights from MSP, DTW, and DFW to Las Vegas, Florida, and all over the Caribbean and...

    Fairchild Metro and Merlin???

    The Merlin I was - no kidding - Ed Swearingen's wife!! Can't explain that too well, but I had the same question of the factory people when I was there. The only reason the early Merlins had the Beech sourced wing & tailplanes was that Swearingen ran out of funds! He had to resort to a...

    NWA

    Hmmmmmmm.......... They did mention that the vagueness was intentional. I am pretty certain about the "unhired" thing. When I chatted with my interview partner, he also mentioned that they didn't know how much of a process we would have to go through. BUT, clearly it would be some sort of...

    Starting up a charter company

    Aero99, you're certainly right that everyone who has succeeded had to listen to many people tell them "it'll never work". I would certainly encourage this guy not to succumb for that reason. It is, however, and entirely different thing to have people saying "I have been there - and it sucks!"...

    Starting up a charter company

    Unfortunately it is a really hard business to try to get into. I started an ran a 135 service for about 7 years. It was a great adventure, and we did moderately well. But if I thought the risk / reward / effort / payoff ratios were anywhere near livable I would still be in it. It was a lot of...

    NWA

    Um, not to bring reality into this conversation, but like Barbarian just said THERE IS NO POOL anymore. The letter sent out a month ago formally dissolved it. I have talked to the gals in HR (as has my interview partner), and though informally they said we should get some consideration for...
