    iPad GPS Reliability on Oceanic Routes

    Just curious if anyone had any good or bad experiences with the iPad internal GPS or external GPSs on oceanic crossings. I've heard of problems with heated windscreens. Any merit? I've used my iPad on some ferry flights originating from the UK and always had an issue with it picking up a GPS...

    NJA and Dental Coverage

    I've read much about the health and dental coverage, and how great it is. Just wondering if there's orthodontic coverage. I have a 9-year-old that has braces and need to plan for future expenses, if I get lucky next month. Thanks!

    ICAO English Proficiency Level

    Has anyone heard about the 5-Mar-08 deadline for English Proficiency? ICAO is mandating that your pilot certificate state that you are proficient at English, if you fly internationally. This concerns me because I'm flying EI registered aircraft in Europe, with a validation from the IAA. I know...

    NetJets International Recruiter?

    Just wondering if anyone knows who's in charge of pilot recruitment on the NJI side of things. I'm sending in my resume shortly and would prefer a personal address in my cover letter, rather than 'To Whom it May Concern.'

    ALPA - Slap in the Face!

    I've been an ALPA member in good standing for 8 years. I think it's a slap in the face for every pilot that operates to the highest standard possible, when ALPA defends complete unadulterated negligence. Not once does ALPA National or the 9E MEC mention the probable cause of this...
