Why stop there? UPS Flt 1354
So, if you're a Boeing engineer, how much did you pay the families of Flt 6? Boeing had to change a checklist after that crash. Also, EGPWS has issues. An example is "too low flaps". My airplane will never get get "too low flaps" warning due to the speed we fly. The threshold for that is... -
How's life at UPS?
They have hired into the 757/767, A300 and MD11. All SDF based -
question for UPS/FedEx crews
At UPS, the lower cargo is Class C and main deck is Class E. UPS is also developing fire proof/self extinguishing containers. All fleets are being outfitted with EVAS systems and I know the MD11 has full face O2 masks, but am not sure about the rest of the fleets. While waiting for the new... -
GoJet... Will it ruin my career?
When were you at Eagle? Just wondering if we crossed paths. -
10 CR7s for Gojets?
I can't remember if he was part of the MEC or just had a union job, but he asked ALPA national about going to Go Jet. They told him no problem. -

Skywest non rev on Eagle
At AE, you paid per leg until 5 years of service then coach was free. Since Skywest is not wholly owned, I suspect you'll pay per leg instead of a flat rate -
10 CR7s for Gojets?
PFTEXPJET, Sorry I didn't see it was from someone else. As far as Mr 12500, ATR, CRJ. The only place I can think of that had that combo is ASA. I could look down my nose at those guys (Comair, Pinnacle, Chatauqua, Express Jet, etc.) because they were all PFT but I don't. It sucks for Comair... -
10 CR7s for Gojets?
Pretty sure that says you paid for your job. -

ANA 763 Hard Landing Fuselage Damage (Video)
Not unstable approach, but you can usually tell early if you'll make it or not. Say you're at 3000 AGL. If you're out of shape in the MD, you're most likely going around. In the 757/767, you can meet the stabilized approach. -

ANA 763 Hard Landing Fuselage Damage (Video)
The hard part about a bounce in the MD-11 is that you don't necessarily know you've bounced. The tail is small, which correlates to coming down the pipe at 170+ knots if you're heavy, but I don't think it contributed to the FedEx accident. I've seen a re-enactment including control inputs. You... -

What tail issue contributed to the MD11 accident? -
ATA interviews
My brother is a captain at Allegiant. He rode ATA to the ground and had a job in between. You are incorrect. -
ATA interviews
They have at least one. I could probably ask if there are more. -
ATA interviews
FWIW, my brother was on the 737 and never heard a peep from CAL. He did get his token interview at SWA along with the others.:cool: -

NASCAR Corporate flight department info
36 weeks if you're lucky. I was offered a job several years ago for a driver and declined due to the schedule. You have off season appearances, testing, etc. I know guys who flew for Yates and Earnhardt Sr. who left because it got to be too much. -
Descent formulas
"Beware the lessons of a fighter pilot who would rather fly a slide rule than kick your ass!" — Commander Ron 'Mugs' McKeown, USN, Commander of the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School. -
Descent formulas
3 X the altitude = distance. 18k=54 miles 21k= 63 miles 1 mile for 10 knots airspeed to lose. You are making stuff way too hard and simply wrong. -
