I have yet to suffer a catastrophic headset failure and lose all control of the airplane due to my battery dying in my headset. I have had it now for 2 1/2 years. Maybe it is because I use Duracell and Energizer instead of "crap ass" AAA batteries. The red light flashes for like 4 hours...
I am suprised to hear there are so many "problem" captains in the Collins 800. I haven't run into this problem, but I am a Capt so I guess when I am with another Captain there is no turf war. Actually I offer the left seat to all FO's on the empty legs if they want it, but there are several...
Never had any of the problems mentioned here with my U-fly Mike setup. Best headset I have ever had! I too would like to be there when they are banned from HIS aircraft, hope it is a single pilot operation!
I too am confused about what Voice is talking about, but here goes.
We fought for the contract that was ratified in 2005. It was a 5 year deal.
Here in 2007 we entered IBB and came up with a new deal, with no fight involved. Notice - we were only 2 years into the previous 5 year deal.
Next...
I don't understand the statement about 7 days away from your wife and 12 days off. But look who it is coming from I guess. 7n7 = 15 days off per month, and three times a year I get 3 weeks off straight. Does UPS offer that? How many gateways, domiciles, HBA's or whatever does UPS offer...
I was sipping Kool-Aid in CMH the other day while I was checking out the new 900XP that must not have really been there. I am sure the other 5 we are getting this year are just pretend as well.
Sounds like a decent payscale, good to hear!
I have an occasional overnight at home and have decided I am better off in a hotel. It is usually 10-12 hours off and I get more rest if I just stay away. Too much on the to-do list if I try and go home for the night and get any rest. Maybe if it...
I too liked what the reserve used to be, but it is not anymore, at least for me. I must be in the wrong fleet or somehting cuz I work 18 every month and my schedule is always changing from what was "proposed" at the start of the month. I will be happy to go back to 7 and 7 and make roughly the...
If you like the "FBO Scene" type of flying, and want to have more flexibility as far as domiciles I would say go for NJA. A lot of pilots are stuck in the airliner mentality and will not be happy anywhere but an airline, but it sounds like you are open minded and would maybe enjoy the flying...
Flying for NJs? Its like you and a buddy, taking a plane for a week.....all expenses paid....without a plan. Everyday is a question of "where to?" and "with who?".
That is the best description of flying for NJ that I have heard!!
