Airline Era Ends as Carriers Cull 50-Seat Jets `Nobody Wants'

The 50-seat jets once prized...

For those still in the YIP area looking for work, Kalitta Charters just put an add on Climbto350 for Falcon and Lear 1st officers. I don't know how the pay compares between the two, but if you're qualified and out of work and not finding anything...they're announcing openings.
The add says...
For those who follow, Gerry Marais was killed several days ago (16th) on a fire in Colorado in an AT-602 SEAT. Two others lost their lives on a separate fire, on the ground the same day.
Gerry was a good guy whom I've known for years; he leaves behind four kids and a wife. One would hope he...
Good article that includes mention of a Kalitta flight returning a soldier home.

I was just returning a book to the shelf and this caught my eye. It's a book with the poetry and writings of Gill Robb Wilson, published in 1957. It's called The Gallant Clan:
The futile wings on the yellowed prints
seem foolishly quaint and crude
unless one walked in the bygone years
with the...
I was just purusing Climbto350 and clicked on an ad for airnet systems (the freight folks). I just about coughed up a hairball when I read "Next to going to war, there is no more demanding flying..." (than flying for airnet).
Good goobers...from what planet to these folks hail??
For those who remember the TDturbo rant some months back in which he bragged at length about flying into ice in his skylane to teach himself about "airflow degredation," he's back. This comment, directed squarely at me on another site, doesn't just just reiterate his pride in doing what he...
A few folks have asked from time to time about air attack jobs. Presently Interstate Avaition in Washington (pullyup, I think) is looking for air attack pilots for the summer. Just a heads up.
And because it's not aviation related, and I'm one of those morons that whines if it's not aviation related, but this came up on a suzuki web board, and seemed humerous...

Hopefully one of those will work...
After reading the comments of a thread here a month or so ago, I elected to ditch my Sprint phone (which was going, regardless), and get Verizon.
I've had it a month now, and haven't been disappointed. It's got good reception everywhere, the company has done what they said they'd do, the talk...
Heard on a pre-flight announcement from an American Airlines pilot:
"On our flight today, we will be flying at 34,000 feet. To give you an idea of how high that is, we would be able to fly over 50 Empire State buildings stacked one on top the other.
"Our speed will be about 500 miles per...

I'm not sure if it's the alien theory that works best, or the communist vampires that tell the real story...
In several years, I think this is the first time I've seen this...according to the little doohicky at the top of the screen, I'm the only person in "here" (where ever here is). That never happens. How bizarre.
Does this perchance mean that somehow, other posters actually have a life?
Recently in a thread (don't remember which one), the subject of the new Legacy came about. I mentioned I remembered seeing on in Phoenix some time ago, and several folks told me that wasn't possible.
Just for the record, I'm not loosing my cookies (at least with respect to the Legacy). Swift...
