ASA Says Pilots' Demands Are Lofty
...contract became amendable. In November, frustrated negotiators for the Air Line Pilots Association voted to express no confidence in the senior managers of the Atlanta-based airline. ***************************************************** So there you have it, it's all the pilots' fault ;) ! -

Pinnacle Hiring Restrictions
Before the Oct '04 accident, Pinnacle hired new pilots with about 500 TT, mostly through flight academies. Now, their minimums are 1000TT/200ME. Is it true that there is an insurance restriction on Pinnacle that does not allow them to hire anyone with 500TT through flight academies? -

Continental Sees a Profit for Third Quarter
http://www.thebostonchannel.com/travelgetaways/5060698/detail.html Considering the high fuel prices, and hurricane Rita's effect on Continental's operations (cost 'em $25 million), I'm quite surprised that they will have a profit for the third quarter. Also, has anyone seen Continental's... -

Long-Haul Cargo Pilot Question
This is a question for long-haul pilots (airlines like Kalitta), where the typical schedule is 17 days away, 13 home. My question is, how do you do it? If you're single, I can see that it would be a great lifestyle, but those with families, how do you do it? I was reading an old gouge for... -

ExpressJet Misconception?

Comair Current Empoyees/Interns to Pilot Position
Does anyone know if Comair reduces the pilot requirements from 1200 TT/200 ME to 500TT/100ME for past interns or current employees (for example, a CSA). I know that Eagle and XJT reduce their requirements from 1000 TT/100-200ME to 500TT/100ME for current employees and previous interns, and so...
