    Mesaba Street Saab Captain program done?

    Mesaba just put a grinding halt on hiring Saab street captains (The website showed that they needed 50 ASAP as of a few days ago). I've got to think this is due to the strong possibility of a merger. Witness the following regarding my application submitted 2 weeks ago.... Error: Invalid...

    GoJet to flowthrough to Skybus

    Which is more delicious... Key Lime pie, Cherry or Pecan? I'd say it's pecan hands down.

    Mesa staffing question

    While I don't work there, I do use them to commute to/from work a lot. (A big thank you to those involved by the way.) I've heard repeatedly that 250 out of the approximately 1500 total Mesa pilots will time out next month. Is this true? Does anyone have any hard numbers? If Mesa truly does...

    I don't want to read, I want to listen to my music

    I've noticed that a lot of times pilots will call in range with the flight attendants about 30 minutes prior to landing. Why? You've got to realize they are going to make everyone turn off all "portable electronic devices" from then on. Why not call as you pass through 10000 feet or...

    What ever happened with Mesa in JFK for Delta?

    Last I heard was that they didn't have GPWS for their planes, and Delta was asking Republic/Chautauqua to ramp up and prepare to take over. Then I never heard anything else. What happened?

    Fuel hedging -- for better or worse

    Lower fuel prices are 'white knight' for airlines Falling fuel prices are "acting as white knight" for the airline industry, The Wall Street Journal (subscription required) writes. So, how much is the drop in fuel costs helping the airlines? At American Airlines, each $1 drop in the price of...

    UPS Des Moines destinations?

    I've searched around, but haven't been able to find UPS destinations from Des Moines. Would anyone be able to post them or PM me? I'm looking into non-revving directly from DSM. Of course this is all assuming that it's a mini-hub here, destinations are other than SDF, and non-revving isn't...

    Citation question

    I was reading the new Flying magazine that had a big article about the new CJ1+ and the CJ2+ and had a couple of questions. It says that there is no sweep to the Citations, which I had heard before, but it went on to say that the CJ2+ was certified to Mach .737 and FL450. Doesn't the lack of...

    The blow off

    Yesterday I had an early show in Toledo. The captain and FA were outside smoking, so I cut through security through the corridor myself, and was followed by a Comair crew. Being the polite gentleman I am, I turned and said good morning. They ignored me from 5 feet away and looked down at...

    Winglets and Wake Turbulence

    After hearing about the AA 757s getting winglets, I started wondering if that will ease up on the wake turbulence they create. Anyone have a guess?

    Pay comparison

    I've seen all the payscales before, but the new feature where you pull up a specific aircraft and compare pay really hit home. Skip past the initial captain pay, and check out the FO rates. http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com/content/view/147/103/ Amazing

    Non Rev Hello

    I'm still pretty fresh at the non-rev game, so I thought I'd ask something. If I am non-rev and the gate agent gives me a seat number in back, should I still pop my head in and say hi to the flight deck? Or is it an inconvenience? Like when I fly on my own airline and get a seat assigned...
