Belch !
Glad to see you're still with us. Yes, I also feel "curtailed" but stop by to see if there's any spark of life left. I'm not sure.
Ah yes, deer season. My only involvement is the venison chili I got from my neighbor: a slice of heaven.
Maybe we can sneak in a political comment or...
Yes, the problem hasn't gone away but merely gone silent or dropped below the purview of the mass media.
They call Afghanistan The Graveyard of Empires for a reason.
Lots of stories associated with this day and most of them won't get told.
My wife was a F/A working a FRA-ATL flight that ended up in Stephenville, Newfoundland. They were there several days along with about a dozen other wide body airplanes while the company figured out who was where and got...
JohnX11,
That's good advice in some circumstances.
The problem furloughed airline pilots have is that they're furloughed airlines pilots. Any prospective employer knows that you've shown your true colors and will run right back to airline flying ASAP. This may make them reluctant to spend...
Might be a bit of the cart before the horse but just for hypnoman's info, here's the process for converting between TCCA and FAA tickets. Not nearly as bad as it could be. And of course, the legal ability to live/work here is the foundation of it all. ...
hypnoman,
FlyBigE has given you good advice. I notice you're in Canada so have you asked your questions on avcanada.com ?
I don't know how different things may be up there compared to here in terms of pilot career path. But there is one path that is pretty solid: go in the military and...
Exactly. I began my airline career before there was anything resembling "airport security". So I've watched it go from that to full-on Gestapo/KGB especially where flight crews are concerned.
At some point, it's hard to not resent being treated like a criminal rather than a crew member.
I...
I never thought flying was boring and I spent 35 years in airline flying.
I did find flying routine but my job was to make sure things were routine. If nothing happened, I'd done my job.
There's a big difference between boring and routine.
If you find flying boring I'm not sure what you...
I wonder if the carriers that stopped "hiring" have stopped interviewing too. I suppose that they could still interview, give out CJOs and put them in a pool to await for the dust to settle.
If other airlines keep hiring at current rates, it may be that attrition from Spirit will take care of that 260 pilots. Many Spirit pilots are actively seeking employment elsewhere so I wouldn't be surprised to see attrition save the furloughs..or greatly reduce them.
Is there really such a shortage that recruiting in Australia is needed ?:

Judging from the number of questions on av forums about logging flight time, I suspect lots of people aren't clear about what's legal. At some point, I might have to count myself among them.
I suspect many people sitting on interview boards are also included. That might be flybige's point...
I got the impression flybige was referring more to the issue of whether an interviewer was familiar enough with the legal fine points of logging instrument time rather than disagreeing with the regs themselves.
I agree with him that I wouldn't want to bet my shot at a career slot on whether...
