GAMA/Wheels Up
Ditto, what he said. I am coming up on 6 months after over 30 years at 121. It isn't 121 and the schedule changes daily but the company has been on the up and up and I have been treated well. Very professional training and the company works hard at standardization. No pushing on maintenance...- Groucho

Economy up but fractionals flat
Here is an interesting report from KMG Pete Marwick. It's from 2005 but it is the only report I am aware of on the Fractional business model and the unique problems of continuing profitability...- Groucho

I voted today
Save the envelope! It can be used as evidence in a protest over election results. Does the company have your correct address for a pay check and medical and other issues? Why don't they have the correct address for the Federally mandated NMB regulation?- Groucho

Union Buster at Flex exposed!
It has been argued that this dispute is nothing, it's on a quiet web board without much activity except for the fractional section, and that section is primarily about Flex Jet. Well if you made bloomberg.com this week it is likely that the article will be in next week's Business Week magazine...- Groucho

Airline Letters (A post from OneSky Crew Lounge)
The NMB Representation manual states: (Section 3-2) The age of the signatures of the authorizations must be dated within one year of the date of the application for the NMB's services. When did the decertification effort at FlexJet start?- Groucho

Age Sixxty Five
I have been watching the age 65 v 70 thing for a while. One consideration not mentioned on many boards is the fear by the company of disability claims. If you don't have a mandatory retirement age, and a pilot loses his medical, is he retired or is he disabled? If he is disabled when do his...- Groucho

Maintenance culture at SWA and AA
Here are two videos from a labor attorney concerning the maintenance safety culture at AA and SWA. It is very well documented and substantiated. The attorney states up front where his sources come from. It is not hearsay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRkwWUvWrr4...- Groucho

Bigger than NetJets
All, I am a current 121 guy at a major and retiring in a few months. I will be looking for a flying job to allow me to get my retirement situation to where it needs to be. I have been reading this board regarding Flex and the current actions of management. One thing I stumbled across was the...- Groucho

article on automaton
Yup, when in doubt, turn it off. The Bus is like that but the "kicker" for that airplane is that you have to turn off BOTH Flight Directors to make it a basic airplane. The Bus logic is always looking for "programing" input as might be displayed and supplied by a flight director. As long as...- Groucho

Retirement Medical
The retirement medical benefits at AA are zero. However you can use accrued and unpaid sick time after retirement up to a maximum of $25,000.00 for COBRA benefits. I have a full sick bank, and if I make it through next year (2018), I can use that to get my wife to Medicare with full coverage... -

FAA Needs to Adopt New Safety Measures to Prevent Future Airline Crashes!

FAA Needs to Adopt New Safety Measures to Prevent Future Airline Crashes!
Was that an FAA approved Goat? Was it STC'd? I wouldn't let anyone sacrifice a non-approved goat or other animal near my airplane, no sir. It must be an approved animal. If it is a flight during a Jewish holiday it must be kosher. -

The latest on AA and APA contract negotiations, article
USAPA had nothing to do with the arbitration clause. That clause was in the Term Sheet, which was negotiated by APA with Parker and Kirby, before USAPA was even aware of the merger. It was an absolute core of the merger proposal from Doug and Scott, and APA had to sign off on the concept of a... -

Expert analysis of unions
Read the man's bio. He has a PHD from MIT in electrical engineering. Why he didn't go on to become a Delta pilot or get hired at some major I don't know. If you have a PHD in electrical engineering from MIT what are you doing being a pilot anyway? -
Airbus A321NeoLR
OK then.... How about 10K more per side and another 6 foot of wing each side. Then double bogie landing gear and 8 tires instead of 4. Then it will be a real long range airplane. The new one's are better than the old but they are still B75 "wanna-be's". -
