Pinnacle Interview
Rezo-whatever and Koslen are an example of the prix at a regional airline that everyone wants to avoid and prays they don't end up as check airmen. They pass judgement in a hypocritical fashion and set the bar real high (yah...rite) for their fellow aviator. Btw, Rezolushun, what was your... -

Here's how to become a Republican
Sounds like a sore loser to me! Hasn't won an election in so long that he doesn't remember what it feels like. The frustration of losing the Supreme Court is driving him to drink! lol My advice, try coming up with a COHERENT, MAINSTREAM message that will help you win an election for a change...- Cokie907

Urge to buy multi time is taking me over!
Why bother? to get a job at a regional (commuter) and sit 17 to 20 days a month in a cockpit/hotel room, doing Jepp changes. Oh and for recreation you get to walk around town in civvies with an overcoat on. All this for 18 to 21 grand per year with no hope of upgrading for a lonnnnnnng time... -

FCP is absolutely right! The future here is extremely uncertain as NWA plugs its way thru bankruptcy and not only whipsaws within the "Airlink family" but throughout the entire regional industry. The only way to achieve a life for junior folks is to LIVE IN BASE! I've been here 5 years and... -

Annapolis the movie?
Getting back on topic here......I received an email from the alumni association 2 weeks ago regarding the movie "Annapolis". Here is an excerpt for those that are not TOO busy slinging testosterone! lol "This movie did not receive the Academy's support because the advance scripts that were... -

Pinnacle ATP Written
Lear70 is right, back in April 2001 when Express "turned to the street to put meat in the captain's seat", they paid hotels and maybe even per diem for those captains who came over from 121 operations. Lucky me came from 135 so I was forced to live in a crashpad with 7 Saab animals who bugged... -

Air Now?
yes, the owner was Pablo and he was Puerto Rican. his chief back then was a crusty old curmudgeon named Ron W. and i'll reserve any further comment on him at this time. i have no idea who the cp was in 2001 but i do know that after the EEN crash when the guy got burned up and died, that was... -

Pinnacle family members sue NWA!
Well, it sounds as if you are referring to issues in the PCL training program. If so, why wasn't PCL named in the lawsuit? I think you know the reason. Furthermore, if the alleged negligence concerns "core lock" and a faulty oil pump, then why are the avionics manufacturers named in the suit... -

XJ bid to NW
I'm with Waylon on this one. Typed a big reply yesterday but it magically disappeared when I attempted to post it. Whiskey tango fox, over? I don't think 9E or XJ will fly any 70 seaters because NWA needed these planes flying the routes...YESTERDAY! It would take too long for us to ramp up... -

Pinnacle family members sue NWA!
Who cares? Besides, the subject matter concerns a regional airline so it is more applicable to THIS board. Eliminating these types of lawsuits is simple. "Loser pays" legislation which requires the plaintiff to pay the defendants legal bills was attempted in the 1990's as part of the... -

Air Now?
Hey Hung, Yeah, working at Northland was my first 135 experience and it was hard fought to get in there. Would you f'n believe? It was spring of 1995 and pilots weren't a dime a dozen, they were a PENNY a dozen. I had instructed at two USAFB's, one at KBED and the other at KCHS and things were... -

What is your experience with EJM?
STAY AWAY FROM EJM.....PLEASE! The company is actually American Air Services and is a typical 135 operator parading around as Net Jets. I placed a post on here about 3 years ago and am too tired to retype it. I think there is a way to access posts in the archives by typing in my user name...- Cokie907

Air Now?
Been there, done that, got the T-shirt! Yes, they have had a couple of crashes. I think they were both bandits, one at Keene and another at Manchester. I was there from Feb 1998 to Jun 1999 and the only good thing I can say is that the job enabled me to discover Knoxville, TN (TYS). Thank God... -

GJ Hiring Captains and fo's
Perhaps, but times are different now. Prior to 9/11, pilots may have had their heads stuck in the sand (along with the entire dot com worshipping public incidentally) but since that time, people have awakened. The rise of the low cost carriers, facilitated by the fiscal chaos after 9/11, taught... -

WOW, 10,000 NEW jobs this year!!!!
Wow, could you give us a list of those jobs, omniscient one? :-) The race to the bottom has been on for years, perhaps you missed the newsflash. Good paying jobs that truly compensate pilots for the massive sacrifices they make are becoming extinct quicker than the spotted owl. BTW- heard... -

Possible ************************* New Hires???
I think you're right on Bling. These guys were ashamed to admit their affiliation with HoJets, otherwise they would have been more than candid with you as to why they were studying this material at the gate. You never can be too sure, however. This industry, along with several others I've been... -

If everyone hates their airline why not quit
Ok....my 2 cents, whiskey tango foxtrot.... I'm just another RJ pilot, been at PCL for 5 years and have hated almost every minute of it. Of course, I love to fly (own a Weedhopper ultralight) and I have some great times in the cockpit with fellow pilots. But this doesn't make up for being... -

Multi oportunity in NC?
Who said anything about discouraging new pilots from starting an aviation job? I merely wondered why people TODAY would put up with all the massive sacrifice (in money and quality of life) and abuse for little or no chance of a viable career in aviation. Now, if by being honest about the... -

Multi oportunity in NC?
Not trying to start $hit here..just curious. I remember asking these kinds of questions years ago, but it was on a system called Prodigy and you had to wait 24 hours to see your reply. Alot has changed since then (1993). Notably, a massive glut of pilots and a whole line-up of bankrupt carriers... -
