Maybe Mizzzzzz Tucker should do some research about why the owners of her company fly private jets. It seems they were removed from a commercial flight while in Europe and were advised they could not be guaranteed of their safety while on a commercial flight. Thus a flight department.
During all of the conversation on the SMS we have overlooked training on using it. I might suggest that FlightSafety has an online course for SMS. The course outline says 5 hours, but I found it to be more like 10. It will not let you cut the corner and move on. I'm not sure of the cost of the...
Used the generic as a reference ,but created a SMS system using information the company had in place. Very time consuming. Audited by three firms, IS-BAO, ARG/US, & WYVERN. Passed all three. It is expensive. You can get an ICAO version on line for free, but very confusing. What else is new from...
With no horse in the race, just thought I would say that Delta is advertising for pilots on the Georgia Department of labor web site. For those registered with the Dept of Labor it might be helpful. Others can view and apply as well. Look for jobs in Georgia, Metro 28 counties, under...
Randy,
Merry Christmas to you.
I have enjoyed reading your insight on this board over the years and have looked forward to it. You have taken some bashing too. You have stood the test of time and lived your dream. Best wishes for the new year.
Have stayed at the Hilton. Not impressed. Last time I was there the water was turned off for a day. Had to use the pool for taking a bath. Beach is small and right next to cruise ship docks. Sandals on Paradise Island might be an option for you. All inclusive. The Hilton is right next to all of...
Check the advertisements for flight schools accepting WIA funding. They have people who can handle your questions. There are several that handle the heavy type ratings. I think they also advertise on the is board. Good luck because this is a government nightmare.
I can understand what you are saying about previous problems. However, when Obama took center stage, he told this country he was providing funding to make sure that everyone was properly trained and brought up to speed in their vocation when the recovery took place. I don't think the message...
I am fighting the same battle in Georgia right now. The office I have been dealing with since May said that aviation is not in demand, however if I wanted to be a hair dresser, welder, hvac tech or a truck driver they would help. So far all I have gotten is that I need to change my vocation. I...
Over water or long haul flights, it might be suggested that you take a small alarm clock. Set the clock for about an hour. Doing Hawaii it was a standard thing to do. If one of us dozed off the alarm was there to make sure position reports were called in. Of course the selcal volume was turned...
Check your HF's before you go. Take an alarm clock and set it to go off 5 min. before reporting points. Just in case the boredom makes you nod. Plenty of dark blue water to look at. Check your charts on when and what to report. It is easy to make a fill in the blank sheet. Makes you sound like a...
Went in there in a G-III in '06. Runway goes by real fast.
The building we used for a terminal was still there.next to the FBO. Maybe gone now. I did not really get to see the new terminal, it was back in what seemed like a hollow. Watched a Dash abort a takeoff for some reason. That was...
Hilton Head has not changed since the 70's when we flew in there as Air South. Those Beech 99's did the job. Even the terminal is the same.. Of course it is the one by the FBO..
Left seat of a jet to the left seat of a scrap iron hauling tractor-trailer. I found that match book cover Maverick was looking for. It sux, but my family needs to eat.
Is there a ray of hope. The market is up. Houses are starting to sell. Even though at reduced prices. Maybe business and industry will stop listening to the gloom and doom of Obama, Pelosi, & Reid. Lets start burning kerosene again.
