I was checking into renting a car in PHX. Their rate was $18/day.. not bad. Total with taxes - $33!!!
I think my math checks out - thats an 83% tax.
Add the $25 for being under 25 years old, and an $18 rental car just turned into a $58 ordeal.
Just wanted to vent - Taxes in this country...
Everyone is so up in arms about who is stealing who's flying and everyone undercutting the next. I'd like to start some discussion with good and bad about this idea:
Why dont the regional carriers who belong to ALPA simply form a national senority list with Airline/Base/Equipment/Seat all...
Heard through the grapevine that a FAA jumpseater was concerned about the number of pilot certificates being issued in the last 2 years. He supposedly said that it is down in the neighborhood of 50% from historical averages and the FAA is starting to take notice.
Has anyone else heard anything...
Anyone see the massive circular chemtrail over the southeastern sky this morning in MSP? It looked like a big lasso...
I'm sure some pics will make it on to some of the wacko sites...
I understand the whole "1000 Turbine PIC" goal that everyone parrots when asked how to get in at a career airline. I also know that the market is very saturated with people that meet that criteria. Does 1000 cut it anymore? Is anyone getting hired with less? How much more does it take? I have...
Flying out to the east coast today I heard what sounded like an emergency with a Cirrus that had smoke in the cockpit. He was communicating with someone on guard, and was trying to land. Did anyone else hear this? Does anyone have any details or know the outcome? I hope the guy is okay. He...
What is their hiring outlook?
What is their junior base?
How are base/aircraft assignments handled for a newhire?
What is a typical schedule like for a reserve and a lineholder?
How long do you sit reserve in the junior base?
Thanks!
I am going to be in the Beverly Hills/West Hollywood vicinity and am wondering if anyone knows of a decent hotel with a good airline rate. I am potentially comming into town tomorrow evening. Any help would be appreciated as this is very short notice. Thanks!
Was anyone up in little Paris last night? A rain shower went through right before we landed and the runway was like a sheet of ice. I've never seen anything like it. The surface is kinda half-way grooved, but apparently extremely uneffective. Anyone else left scratching their heads after comming in?
Anyone else heard this rumor? Im not going to post details, because I think it is BS made up by a mainline guy I talked to. But, if the word NUCO means anything to you then pony up. Thanks!
Had a "very senior" jumpseater from FlyI the other day, and he was saying that loads were 90%+ and they were going to break even or possibly make money this summer. Is this true?
Thanks!
I have recently installed Airline Logbook for my iPaq 3635 Pocket PC PDA. For some reason the program wont launch. I click it, and nothing happens. Their FAQs are no help either.
In the release notes of the program it mentions it wont launch while in the cradle, but mine wont launch period...
I'm in Phoenix for the next couple days and will be bored out of my mind. Is anyone around that would want to go for a burger and brew tonight? Computer access is difficult, so call my cell.
