So here's the deal. I'm 34 and have been flying for over ten years and always tested 20/20 vision military and civilian physicals. At my last physical with the Air Guard, I tested 20/40 in one eye and had to get glasses to fly with. No problem on the military side. The question is on the...
Interesting article about the USAF Predator in todays edition of the USA Today. The article is about how the Air Force is short staffed and can only fill about 1 in 3 of the mission requests it gets. The thing that caught my eye, however, is the accident rate. They have lost 53 of 139...
Flying for brown or purple is the ultimate goal for me someday but I busted my private checkride several years ago (flew through the boundary of class D airspace). I have passed every checkride since...all part 121 and every ride in the Air Force, including flight school. So my question is will...

I'm sure this is just a scare tactic by boeing to force congress to cough up money for more airplanes. Still you have to wonder why the Air Force is screwing every other project in the works in order to fund the F-22...
...last year and now furloughs, I no like Jaboo. I say:
"I'm pissed now, Joboo. Look, I go to you. I stick up for you. You no help me now, I say, fu** you, Joboo. I do it myself!"
Seriously, I don't think this will get far...there's plenty of precident in the law for companies to enforce...
I'm a C-130 Air Guard pilot looking at getting into a Naval Reserve squadron, trying to get back to the hometown. I was wondering how many days a month do you typically fly and what are the missions like? Do you do a lot of flying around the flagpole for proficiency or is it mostly real world...
Just a few questions for those who fly with CHQ. 1) How many aircraft does CHQ have in the fleet and how many are on order? 2) How many aircraft are assigned to U.S. Air? 3) How many pilots are currently on the list? 4)How tough is it to get Louisville as a domicile? 5)When do you get your...
Question for you major airline types. Say there is a guy who flies in the Air National Guard who has plenty of flight time but no PIC time. Say this guy upgrades in the Guard and can now get 150 hours of PIC a year working as a part timer. This guy also works as an FO at a large regional carrier...
I'm in the info gathering stage here so I have a few questions for guys at Air Wis:
1) When does your seniority date start? Is it day one of training or after training is complete?
2) If someone is in the Air Guard and they are actived, does the clock keep ticking on the probation year or...
Gentlemen,
I have a question for Comair pilots who are married? How do you do it? My understanding is that you get ten days off per month...is that correct? Is it difficult to get more if you want it? How does commuting affect that? Here's my deal...I've been flying full time in the Guard...
Hello to all. I'm currently in the pool at Comair happily awaiting my start date. I'm going to be getting married in a few months so I have to ask the question...how many days off do you typically get in a month. What about vacation days? Any during the first year? I know they told us a lot...
I still have several years before I'll have the experience to get hired but I've decided that Southwest is the airline I want to work for. With that in mind, I'd like to hear some of your opinions. I'm at a decision point in my career...I've accumulated over 1000 hours of military C-130 time...
I was scheduled for a March 27 class and just go the word it has slid back to May 22...something about the new jets not being delivered as scheduled. Anyone else get the same word?
Just curious if any other C-130 guys have successfully flown the HI-ILS at Roswell, N.M. (KROW), aka. the "widow maker". I tried it today (clear and a million VMC) and COULD NOT get down in time. It requires descending 7,000 ft in 5 miles...we starting fully configured with 100% flaps at...
Okay, I know there has to be a few of you out there. Suppose there were rumors of activation at my unit. How would activation affect me at Comair?
1. I take it you get your seniority number on day 1 of training? Does that mean if you got the activation call on day 2, you'd be golden or do...
