Disclaimer: Here's a possibly over-simple question from someone not at the airlines yet, who's an up-and-coming learner, with just enough ignorance to ask it:eek: :
Should the government allow Chapter 11 for UAL?
Essentially, if I'm not mistaken, if they re-organize they would have the freedom...
Yeah, I read something similar recently in the Seattle Times. Apparently the development of the Sonic Cruiser (Boeing "808"?) is still moving ahead at Boeing, but they did mention whether it gets built or not is still a big question in light of the current industry unpleasantness.
I hope it...
Actually I read the Sonic Cruiser, travelling in the neighborhood of .98, is going to shave at least an hour off of every 3,000 miles flown when compared to the rivals in the .83 to .84 range. And it's said to be able to do that with little or no premium over standard ticket prices. I think a...
Sexual Parallels
Great thread! Truly this is an awesome way to make a living. I've been thinking a lot recently about how people sacrifice their passions and dreams on the altar of pragmatism and the need to merely "get by." There's something to be said for that kind of sacrifice, but I...
If you had to suffer through one of the butt-cold winters in N. Minnesota, I think that definitely qualifies for additional doctoral credits at Hard Knock School.
Thanks Andy. This does clarify it quite a bit. I'm beginning to see why this is so hotly debated, and how there are possibilities of conflicts of interest between the mainline and regional pilots.
Flyin Brian (like the Bill Lumberg pic by the way): How does a system of merging the seniority...
Scope: What exactly is it? Could someone point me towards an article that clearly explains this issue.
I'm a CFI building time towards the airlines, and I see this topic discussed frequently, but I still don't completely understand it. I'm particularly interested in how scope affects Skywest...
Skywest Brasilias
Interesting and well written article about the Fresno Skywest base... The author mentioned that a lot of Skywest RJ orders were to replace aging Brasilias. Do I read that to mean that Skywest intends to retire ALL of their EMB-120s eventually?
Keep Talking
First, good call. If you are not feeling secure with the instructor, and it's hurting your productivity and learning -- change. You're paying for it.
The type of instructor that used to bug me in my student days was the dogmatic type who didn't communicate well, or listen...
I'm in the process of surveying different topics for a paper/presentation I'd like to do on one of the more interesting and new, or emerging, technologies in commercial aviation.
As I brainstorm, I'm looking for suggestions. What are some of the latest inventions that you all find particularly...
Ayer & Pinneo
I've heard the folks at Alaska really like and respect Ayer. What do the people at Horizon feel about Pinneo? Anything seems like an improvement over Bagley from what I've been hearing!
