Air Shuttle 7281 holding at 10,000ft right after takeoff from IAD.
Burn fuel to return to the airport because they forgot their ipod, hairgel, and/or backpacks? WHAT ARE THE DEETS!??!

Sitting here reading the other posts on this board about airlines having trouble obtaining pilots. Why not put minimum staffing and experience levels into our contracts? It is very much in our best interest to have these two factors kept under control. Especially for captains when it comes to...
Apparently in Europe, they're starting to have transponders downlink data to ATC in real time. Indicated airspeed, heading, selected altitude, etc... so that the air traffic controllers can see if we're correctly complying with their instructions. All with no interaction from the pilot...
...kind of...well...maybe? eh.. not really...
Thanks Prater, you're doing a great job. Age 65 is great, airlines stalled for years in contract negotiations are great, bigger jets (and more of them) at regionals is great, and pilots flying jets with brand new commercial certificates is...
I've been in the airlines long enough to have lost most of my connection with general aviation. I've been hanging out at the local airport engaging in hangar-talk with the locals and I'm starting to miss it. I'd say my biggest turn-off is the lack of safety compared with airline flying.
So...
Various questions about Continental... sorry if some have been asked before.
1) Whats current hiring like? Are they planning on having it stay the same or go up/down?
2) Will the 787s be growth or replacement aircraft?
3) Is the 737 Classic fleet being phased out or maintaining size?
4)...
Hey all, was curious, I know international carriers cannot carry revenue pax between points in the US, but can we jumpseat?
For example, British Airways does IAH-DTW-LHR. Is there any way I can jumpseat on the IAH-DTW segment?
Say, uhh... a err, friend of mine, has recieved a Letter of Correction as the result of an ASAP event.
AirlineApps asks a few questions where this might apply. Is there any way one can answer no to these questions without flat out falsifying their application or doing anything else bad? I...
Continental's website states this:
"1,000 hours fixed-wing PIC time, or 500 hours PIC time and 500 hours SIC time in a turbojet"
Does that mean they want 500 PIC turbojet and 500 SIC turbojet or 500 PIC in anything and 500 SIC turbojet? ie: Do you meet the requirements if you have no turbine...
Hey guys, looking for a new headset to use in the CRJ. Have a Telex 750 right now, I like it (size/weight/comfort-wise) but I want ANR / better noise cancelling and not something too expensive. Not interested in anything big (like a Bose) or anything in-ear. How does the Telex 850 compare...
How does one go about becoming an ASC? It seems to be harder to find on the net than I'd think. What are the requirements (and benefits) and such?
Thanks all....
Just stumbled upon this on the web and did some google searching... apparently there is a group of people out there that, as a hobby, with scanners and computers intercept and decode ACARS messages.
For example... http://www.acarsonline.co.uk/
Just goes to show you that nothing is secure...
Hey guys,
I'm interested in the military, always have been. I think the one thing that has always stopped me from looking more into it is just not knowing where to start.
Is it possible for someone like me off the street to get into the military as a pilot? I can't go to the air force...
Why do jetways usually have punchcodes/locks to get into them from the ramp, but are free to open from the jetway down to the ramp? Seems completely backwards. Just had a passenger chase a ramper down onto the ramp to give him a carry-on bag, with the only thing to stop him being a "Do not...
