    Professional pilots pay and non professional immigrants pay.

    Then kindly take yourself out of the picture. You're ruining it for the rest of us, @ssmunch. And go back to school and learn a bit about business and economics so you don't think you can change capitalism all on you own anymore!

    NWA SCABS at Best Western

    With all due respect. Just because NWA has been removed from UPS approved carrier list, does not mean that they were removed for safety issues. That would certainly be a fair reason to do so, but show us where UPS has publicly stated that this is the reason. There are many reasons NWA could...

    Regional Airline Pay

    You can thank our unions for aiding in the creation of the convoluted means by which we are paid. Anyone have a good reason we're not paid an hourly rate for duty time regardless of whether we fly or not? If I'm at work from 10:00am to 10:00pm then I would rather get paid for 12 hours at a...

    Emergency Decent

    I agree. That would be a problem, but you can only hope to have regained consciousness by the time you level off. I'd rather take my chances doing this rather than pass out without the autopilot on while performing a high speed descent with the boards out! I think at that point you'd have a lot...

    Emergency Decent

    Auto pilot all the way. What happens if you're hand flying and then you both pass out? If the A/P is on and 10,000 is commanded, then at least the aircraft will level out at a breathable altitude and you can wake up before you run out of fuel.

    Fast Track to the Regionals

    ...missed the point. At that rate, getting to the airlines would have cost the poor bastard $100,000 just in ratings, not to mention all the other b*llsh!t that my school started to push on people just before I left. Even a moron like that could see pretty clearly that he didn't have enough...

    Fast Track to the Regionals

    It's pretty standard at a 141 school to wash people out who aren't cutting the mustard. Why keep taking people's money and keep their hopes of flying for an airline alive when they've got 130 hours and no private yet! Some people just can't cut it.

    Fast Track to the Regionals

    Joe_pilot. You certainly thought a lot about all that mess, but alas you fall short of your goal. You may have read the words that I wrote, but you certainly didn't absorb the meaning of them. Try again later.

    Fast Track to the Regionals

    They may let anyone with a wad of cash INTO flight school. But we all know that having the money doesn't mean you'll pass the required tests to make it all the way. I certainly washed my fair share of bad apples out when I was instructing. I didn't want to do it, but some people are just...

    Fast Track to the Regionals

    ...in the cockpit when Cappy has to drop a deuce. The captain certainly doesn't have to be a check airman or the chief pilot to tell the F.O. he's f*cking up. Poor analogy there my friend. I certainly hope you're not suggesting that piloting an aircraft is anywhere in the same neighborhood...

    Fast Track to the Regionals

    ...threw a whole wad of cash at the school (and some good grades too) Yes they have some supervision, but no more than a fresh F/O out of whatever f*cking school they just came from has with a captain sitting 2 feet away all the time. All the European airlines hire their pilots with 0 hours and...

    Uniforms

    I've got some great wool pants, but they seem to be hard to find. They're called Slates and they're manufactured by Levi's, but sold under the brand name Slates. Try high end department stores. They're great. They feel nice to wear and they hold a crease for weeks without ironing.

    Time For SkyWest Pilots To Step Up

    It's almost like these guys are 'allergic to money.' What the f*ck's up with that!

    ATTN Air Wisky guys going to ORF

    ORF will be our primary maintenance base and we'll have about 25% of our pilots based there. As far as I know!

    Air Wisconsin Seniority List

    Yeah, that's just what our owners are looking for. More worthless 50 seat aircraft that won't have a home in the near future! US Airways has already tried to get us to loose some of our 50 seaters in return for 90 seaters and we won't do it because nobody else will take any more 50 seaters...

    FFDO Training

    NO. I wouldn't do the training. I don't trust any of the FFDO's I fly with. There's something they all have in common and they're probably the last people I'd really want to have a gun.

    FCC Radio License

    I second that. They are the most helpful government agency I've ever dealt with. No waiting on hold and the lady that helped me was charming. Great experience.

    Bill Gates and Planes

    Good joke, but isn't this an actual problem with the EMB-170!

    Air Wisc Questions

    Crosky, You are mistaken here. We have a guaranteed contract with Airways for 70 aircraft with the possibility for more. The 70 is not negotiable though. That changes things a bit from what you were saying.
