    FFDO Qualifications on a resume?

    I got to thinking today about something. Say a pilot is an FFDO. Say this person is out on the job hunt for a new flying job. Of which I am neither, just curious. Would such status be appropriate to list on a resume, right along with ATP, 1st class medical, FEW, type ratings, etc. I know some...

    who logs what?

    As I was sitting down to catch up on my logbook the other day, I got towondering what kind of records everybody else keeps in their logbooks. I broke 6000 hours the other week, with about 4500 of that regional 121time, so I'm past the point of counting every minute like I used to,butout of...

    small people,manual reversion, and discrimination...

    So everytime I sit in my airplane and do the preflight stuff, some of which involves moving some controls around with and then without the benefit of hydraulics, I think to myself "gee, I'm a big guy and I can hardly move these ailerons while we are just sitting here, could I do this at 200...

    737 Question...

    Okay, so far nobody I have ever flown with has known the answer to this question. You know when you're sitting behind a 737 on the taxiway, and it looks "crooked", like it's always sitting at an angle, with the tail a few feet off the centerline even when they are rolling with the nosegear on...

    interesting radar effect?

    A few weeks ago, we were cruising somewhere over NC and center tells us we have traffic, 12 o'clock, thousand feet above, opposite direction, an F-18. So we scale the TCAS out a bit, and sure enough, there he is, 20-30 miles away. We had the radar on, there was some weather on the climb-out...

    Whats the word at PDT/ALG?

    I've been hearing some rumors from some of my former coworkers at ALG that the plan for the Dashes is now to bring them back, with PDT being authorized to hire quite a few people in the coming weeks and months. After all the turmoil, misinformation, and rumors at the two companys over the past...

    NWA A320 at LGA?

    Does anybody know the fate of the Northwest A320 that got banged up at LGA a few years back (sometime in 2001 or '02?)? I don't remember the details, but I remember seeing it in various stages of repair for quite some time in the old TWA hanger adjacent to taxiway ZA. Anybody know the story?

    five by five?

    Okay, I've been around awhile, and I've heard this lots of times in response to a radio check request, but I've never met anybody who could explain, (or find a written reference somewhere) what "five by five" means. Volume and clarity? Vice versa? Anybody?

    dash 8 tech question...

    Does anybody know if the Dash 400 still has ground spoilers? As far as I understand, they have been deactivated on just about all the 100's out there, at least they have been on ALG's. Not the "lift dump" mode of the flight spoilers that we all see (the outboards of which are now painted red)...

    leave ALG for CHQ

    Okay, this post will not deteriorate into a political discussion. I'm in a quandry and am looking for answers to questions, not advice. Downgraded FO at ALG (one of many, just to update you all), I have been sending out a few resumes over the last few months to various carriers. I am in that...

    a step in the right direction...

    No, nothing to do with the new chief thief at USAirways... It seems like the TSA has finally figured out that airline employees are not as much of a threat as they would like to think. For some time, since the whole "boarding pass" at the checkpoint thing, my domicile, SYR has required...

    on being a launch customer...

    So I was deadheading home to SYR today, and pulled in next to the EMB-170 "miracle jet". Walked through ops to drop off my bag and asked the folks how long it was supposed to sit before it goes back to PIT, in the hopes of checking it out (no dice on that, the station manager considers it a...

    any folks out there ride mountain bikes?

    I'm sick of all this flying stuff, and with spring just around the corner, I'm bummed looking out my window and seeing snow falling here in upstate NY. I'm itching to get out and spin the legs out a little, since my bike has been hanging in the garage being neglected since November. Any other...

    MDA/J4J/APL questions...

    Alright, I have been trying to get this information from my own union folks for some time to no avail, so I'll direct my question here... In spite of all the rumored difficulties that USAirways is having getting the ball rolling with MDA (or MAA, call it what you will), I have heard that not...

    a question for PSA folks about J4J

    I have heard rumors that the J4J program isn't shaping up exactly as envisioned at PSA. Namely, that the 50/50 ratio is not being honored, with the fair majority of slots going to APL pilots. Can they not spare the pilots out of the 328? Or is this rumor not true? Just curious...

    a thought about this industry...

    This post might generate some heat, but I have been thinking about it for a day or so and want to say something. I was recently attending an interview for a regional airline. Currently employed by a 121 carrier whose future is a huge question mark, and I am looking for a new income from a...

    quick question about EAS routes

    Okay, I follow that EAS stands for "essential air service" or something like that, and I imagine that it's a route that the government subsidizes to allow air service to the boonies, but how does all that work? Anybody have any wisdom on the history, funding, or just any more info on EAS routes?

    In a similar vein to my last thread...

    ...does anybody else ever find it annoying when the hotel gives you a story about the whereabouts of the van? You just finished a 12 hour day, you're waiting curbside in the upstate NY winter cold, and the hotel desk clerk says "he left 10 minutes ago, he should be there". Or "he says he's out...

    does ops ever call the hotel?

    Just wondering if everybody is in the same boat on this? You're calling in-range, or calling your times in (for the non-ACARS people), and you politely ask the ops people to give the hotel a buzz and tell them that you'll be curbside in XX minutes. They say "sure, no problem" or "they've...

    another Comair question...

    Alright, so I'm all set with the interview down in Cincinnati in a little while, and I've got all the gouges and stuff, seen all the speculation about the ACA Do-jets, and read the thread speculating about the length of the upgrade time, but I have one question. Is there a pool or are they...
