You can use 80% of the effective runway distance w/ DAAP down to 4000'. Other "pre-approved" airports are authorized to 3799' that meet additional criteria. One of the common mistakes is taking 80% of the runway distance and comparing to the "dispatch" number. Actually the numbers from...
The union passed by one vote. I'd say the mess is about to begin. I've never been disrespected in 13+ years at Netjets. And who says a union can suddenly garner respect?
I guess that's why you shouldn't believe everything you hear :-) We do pay a bit more for benefits but honestly it wasn't really even noticeable than what we were paying before (but the more dependents you have the more noticeable it would be). It's still better than most companies.
The new...
Recently, some dispatchers at the 135 Fractional on-demand operator I work for, NJA, felt a union would be beneficial and would like to vote the Teamsters in. Thought I would inquire from those of you in unions or not, to see if you feel unions are necessary for Flight Dispatchers. Pay and...
NJLA just got the 121 Supplemental certificate this month. It took a couple years of paperwork revisions. Right now the FAA is putting together the new 121 OPSPECS.
Yah, we DEFINATELY know now how much fun that is! Don't know what the record is, lost count one day. SJC tower got so fed up with it one day they told us don't bother filing any more.
Meant to say the work is harder - subtle difference - my bad. No reason to doubt my 121 brothers work hard.
What 121 operation do you dispatch for?
Your understanding is quite confused. The comments made by IFLYOU were a bit over the top, so I don't fault you for that. The approach to dispatching at NJA is not exactly the same as it is at 121 carriers (although - we will be 121 supplemental carrier...
To clarify, the Hurricane No-Fly zones are set up 48 hours in advance but that does not mean the area is restricted for 48 hours. When the NFZ is set up it states on the document what time the NFZ goes into effect. The way they come up with the time of closure is by calculating when the winds...
There is no difference. Part 121 air carriers are the only type of operation that requires part 65 licensed dispatchers by law, so the term is used interchangably. Dispatch certification schools only teach part 121.
No, believe me, I understand... it is a hotly debated issue amongst NJA dispatchers themselves. No one can really be dogmatic in their opinion of what would happen because it has never been "tested". Policies and case law doesn't exist on the regulatory level where fractional dispatch is...
It is NJA policy that all dispatchers hired must be part 121 licensed. Once hired, you are technically not using that certificate - but you could loose it if found negligent by the FAA for some reason, same as you. You don't necessarily have to use it to loose it. It would be like loosing...
1. Did this really happen? I've never seen it said that way.
2. Was it International?
Some dispatchers are uncomfortable releasing international flights since they didn't do any of the flight planning and are getting the fuel loads and burn straight from Jepps... so they feel they should...
You guys are dropping like flies this week. Very curious indeed. A month old non-union "employee" of NJA saying STFD. Kind of biting yourself in the foot, wouldn't you think? What higher ups? How would they be monitoring STEEL's posts to begin with if he was posting annonymously unless he...
If I were to walk through a restaurant and see you choking on your food I would do everything in my power to help you. It has nothing to do with who you are but everything to do with who I am. I hope some day you will realize the difference for yourself.
You guys seem pretty alert to who the scammers are. I was wondering if you could put that insight to work and tell us all who you think STEEL is? I tried asking him - no reply.
Here are just a couple of his posts within a month of each other.. us? here? we? 250 hours in a C150? Didn't even...
I write this post not for your benefit but for those who might actually buy into your nonsense and attempt to slander NJA out of your own personal bitterness.
NJA Meteorologist produce No-Fly zones 48 hours in advance of all hurricane activity. Hurricane Rita and Katrina were no exceptions...
