    So walking the line now, after being voted out, makes up for all the losses in the regional industry over the last five years?

    AWAC current Info

    I don't think he will. Watch his televised monthly pilot Q/A sessions on the hub. He says he's stuck with us, but he's happy we did what we did or the company wouldn't exist.

    Merry Xmas Freedom...

    In your next post you'll be whining about why you aren't treated and paid like a professional.

    AWAC current Info

    Uprgrades have been down at 2 years and 8 months. Not 2 years. Without growth, I'd say the upgrade time here is more like 5 years. Unless of course there is a huge amount of attrition at the higher seniority levels. 3 years would be very optimistic if hired right now. That being said, it's...

    Tips For Flying in ICE

    NASA disagrees with you, but what would they know!

    Can I log Multi-time in this?

    Same with the A-10 and those engines are pretty far apart.

    Tips For Flying in ICE

    Flew C-310's, C-208's and Barons out of Minnesota for 2 years and here's what worked for me: 1. Preflight - Look at the temps aloft and find the freezing level. Also check the cloud tops. Pireps are great if you can find them and they are relevant. 2. As soon as you start picking up ice...

    Now that SKW has different rates...

    Not true. In the Midwest RFP process, AWAC had to break down exactly what their costs are. Midwest was not interested in a lump sum number. They want to know exactly where our costs are out of line with other companies. Turns out our flight deck crew costs are much higher than other...

    C-310 fuel?

    I did OMA - CMH once in a 310. Probably about the same distance. Only 3 hours. No autopilot though.

    Skywest lifting seat locks???

    AWAC is ALPA and we had seat locks until we went to one type.

    These guys must be idiots to pray on a plane--outloud!

    Any he is obviously very ignorant of the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

    Hot mike / voice activation adapter? Is there such?

    Your idea won't help yourself unless you are going to buy one and then give it to the guy you're flying with. If you plug it into your side, you'll only be making life nicer for the other guy.

    Line Bidding VS PBS

    PBS is nothing like relief/conversion/build up lines. With PBS you have a lot more say in what your final schedule is. With relief lines, you are at the whim of the company and your seniority when it comes time to bid within the relief line system.

    MESA layover policies for crewmembers.

    The purple windbreakers were in full effect last year in Dulles. There must have been some good golf courses around there!

    Who's the big Winner??

    Unfortunately they are paying the market rate. Nothing can change that unless supply decreases or demand increases.

    U.S. Airways bids 8 Billion to buy Delta

    Read the press releases. One of the first things mentioned in each of them is that the new company would retain the Delta name. It's all about branding and Delta has a more recongizable name worldwide.

    CRJ Guys turn

    What ever happened to good old fashioned piloting? You want to go faster, push the thrust levers to the desired power setting. You want to slow down, set a fuel flow to achieve the desired speed. Is that too much for you guys or is it just that you want to b!tch about how much better your...

    CRJ Guys turn

    This doesn't happen if you select NAV mode prior to initiating any changes in the FMS. Example: If you are taken off course on a heading and then given a new heading to fly direct to FLM, if you select NAV mode and then execute the FMS with the new flight plan, the aircraft will make a smooth...

    Exhausted pilots reveal risky nodding off

    I have had four domiciles in three years at my current company. I understand that people commute because they have to. However, when I commuted, I took it upon myself to make sure I was still fit for duty when I showed up for work. If I had ever felt like any fatigue as a result of my...
