I am, apparently, one of the very few ASA pilots who isn't royally pissed off at Comair's pilots over their recent LOA. As near as I can tell, even after the freeze they've got a helluva better contract than we do.
I also heard that the LOA includes a clause preventing DCI from using the...
Allegedly...
(1) There was a big meeting Tuesday night attended by Skip, etc. D.G. came out and told several IP's not to make any major decisions for two weeks, and that they'd be pleased with what was about to happen.
(2) The meeting concerned ASA's already signed sale to Skywest.
(3)...
Three questions:
(1) Are labor costs factored in when calculating the break-even load factors for airliners?
(2a) If they're not, does anybody know what the CRJ-200's B/E load factor is?
(2b) If they are, does anybody know what ASA's CRJ-200 B/E load factor is?
Does anybody know if there was a good reason why our President's administration selected a European helicopter to be the next "Marine One?"
Yeah, yeah, I know: Lockheed-Martin is building them under contract. There are also Hondas being built in the U.S. It just doesn't seem right, though...
Anybody seen it yet?
A bunch of skydivers are jumping out of this Twin-Otter. The last guy freezes. "I can't do it," he yells.
The jumpmaster holds up a six-pack and asks, "not even for a Bud Light?" Then he tosses the cans out the window.
The pilot (complete with sunglasses and leather...
Overheard a discussion on Delta radio a couple of days ago: a Delta flight had some sort of deferral that prevented them from flying in "icing conditions," and they were explaining to their dispatcher that they couldn't go into their destination because it was reporting 5 deg. C in rain...
I've never watched this show before, but I just saw tonight that Paris and Nicole apparently worked an internship at Southeast Airlines. Anybody know anything about it?
...story.
It got me wondering: how many of you think the loss of TWA 800 was something other than a freak accident? Do any of y'all* give any credence to the suggestion that this was a terrorist act?

We generally try to wait until you've walked away to make rude comments about your mother and stick pins in our Cha-voodoo-qua dolls. :D
But seriously, folks...it's easy to loathe Chataqua's management, and it's easy to blame Chataqua's pilot group for the ills of the "small jet" industry...
Okay, I give up: what's the significance of Comair operations in CVG using the callsign "Exception?"
(And incidentally, what's "blue Exception," "orange Exception," etc.?)
Okay, I'll admit it: I just had an ugly picture painted in my head by a certain former EAL striker, and I need someone to hold me and tell me everything'll be okay. :)
I've noticed that since the informational picketing began in ATL a while back, my fellow ASA pilots have become more and more...
Now that my transfer from DFW to ATL is complete, I'm being exposed to cities and routes that are completely new to me...and I have a few questions*:
(1) Is HPN always a zoo?
(2) For those people who live near APF and hate jet noise: didn't your realtor tell you there was an airport there...
...the autopilot and flight director.
So when maintenance shows up, the first mechanic we meet says--in an exasperated tone--"so I guess this is f*ck-your-buddy night, huh?"
What do y'all think? Should I (A) ignore it like usual, or (B) write this mechanic's comments up as a couple of...
