    Survival Kit, at lease a good start on one...

    Available from Skinner Sights, you'd need to add some way to purify and carry water as well as a Bic lighter and some tinder good tinder and a couple of candles (the Far North is frequently quite damp if not frozen solid!). For Bear Country I'd lean towards the .45-70 option but from a rifle...

    Standard Phraseology...just a little humor

    That is one thing that the ICAO is supposed to be all about and English is supposed to be the standard language in ATC world wide. Still, English has many regional variations-the Queen's English, Australian English, American English and of course Engrish and with all of these variations there...

    I recently had the "good" fortune to ride on a Mesa flight...

    in one of their CRJ 700's. Now the CRJ line was never blessed with the most comfortable seats in the industry-the sad fact is that those years are well in the past what with ever more onerous flame proof requirements and the endless quest for lower weight and decreased seat-mile cost. Sadly...

    Walk the talk...one of my pet peves

    Not that I'm anti-union so much, it's the incomprehensibly massive, glaring hypocrisy of the thing that just pisses me off so much... Union this and union that coming from a typical cheapass pilot who's uniform shirts are those crappy made in the PRC Van Heusen or Arrow sweatshop products-if...

    PANC-"F Street Station"

    I've heard particulars of why second hand but apparently there is a boycott of the F Street Station in Anchorage due to the way they treated a crewmember a while ago. I know that my pilot group is participating by not frequenting this once popular layover hangout...

    Buy American if you can...

    Buy American if and you where can... I know it's tough. Try to buy something for your kid that isn't made in china. In fact the laptop that I am working on was assembled there-God only knows where the components came from...again a case of few choices. Well, there are some places that you...

    So I'm on reserve in EWR...

    and I go out front for a smoke with my coffee. There is this male continental express FA that is wearing so dammmm much cheap stinking aftershave that I had to move upwind so I could even smell my cigarette-the coffee didn't have a chance...I couldn't imagine being in the crew van or the...

    Cool, I'm a real airline pilot now...

    I've been furloughed! At least that's what one of my friends told me... I've had one interview, but need to keep searching. Anyone have any hints on the turbojet freight area? thanks, Belch

    Cargo Carriers Help!

    I have been in touch with the local Red Cross and what is needed right now is six seat singles like Cherokee Sixes and Cessna 206-207 aircraft. Freighters with seats avalible that can be removed easily. I have offered my services as a pilot, but can't find a machine. Called from coast to...

    EAS in the Midwest-what's up?

    Has anyone got any information on what is going on with the seven EAS routes (including Kirksville MO, Jackson, TN Owensboro, KY)? Great Lakes, MAG, Mesaba and Regions Air bid on them. Heard that mesa is parking 1900's. There was a rumor last year that Regions (then Corporate Airlines) was...

    Heartfelt thanks to Seymore-Johnson AFB

    The pilot group at Corporate Airlines has had a rough few months with the loss of our Flight 5966 and then the death of CA Chris Miller last saturday in a car wreck. Yesterday afternoon (02/08/05) about 1530 EST as the graveside prayers were concluding some of your F-15's shattered the silence...

    It is official. The pilots of Corporate Airlines are to vote on representation by the IBT Airline Division. To my friends in the Corpex pilot pool I urge you to consider the current and past relations that we have had with our management and to consider the way the future might play out...

    Corporate Airlines Attrition!

    My Congratulations to the nine pilots for June, and the (so far) six for July that have gone or are going to bigger and better things. Godspeed and good luck in your future ventures. As for the rest of us, well, "I have never seen so many good men wasted so badly" to quote one of our CA's...

    Albino Stretch Eights

    I have been seeing all white strech 8's, some with the old blowpipes, some with the cfm-56 (or whatever) mod in and out of STL the last few months. Last week saw one with a bunch of Vee shapes on the vertical, but couldn't read the name. Any ideas who it is and if it is worth sending them a...
