    Bringing in Large Sums of Cash: Customs, IRS Questions

    I have to pick up a jet in the US (I am currently out of the country). Boss wants to give me $40K in cash for certain expenses. Any amount over ten grand requires a declaration to Customs which is then reported to the IRS. Is this gonna' get me audited? It isn't my money.

    United 173, DC-8, Portland - CVR Tape Out There?

    United Airlines Flight 173, registration N8082U, Douglas DC-8-61, crashed after running out of fuel going into Portland. This is an interesting CRM case. I have heard the CVR recording before on a video that showed the flight path on a chart in "real time" and it was quite good. Does anyone...

    Operating Cost: Legacy 650 vs 7X

    I'm posting this here so as not to further hijack the other thread. I apologize for the lack of paragraph spacing. My java plugin refuses to work. I'm not here to debate. I simply don't like being called a liar. - I spoke with some people at Embraer and got the following (I'm...

    If you don't know what it is go to www.foursquare.com . Just wondering if anyone is on there and if it is worth the time.

    V2 to MSA or Accelerate to VFS????

    Once again this argument rears its ugly head. Falcon has their way. Boeing has theirs. Cessna another. 121 Airline says do this but same equipment in 135 charter says do that. So.... What's the rule folks? What is going to keep you from hitting that cumulus granite? After a V1 Engine...

    "Line Up and Wait" - Let's Hear it for Globalization

    I have never liked having to say that. It sounds ridiculous. Maybe it is just me but our capitulation on this just smacks as another sign that the USA is fading...Why don't we tell ICAO and the JAA to stuff it in their ears?We convert licenses here fairly easily for them but they won't do it...

    Phenom 100 / 300 Types - How much?

    What are these things running right now? I see ads EVERYWHERE for Phenom pilots.

    Sidestep on a Go-Around. Left or Right?

    When initiating a go-around at an uncontrolled airport (in this case, a pilot pulls out on the runway in front of you and begins the takeoff roll when you are on very short final) do you sidestep left or right? In my opinion, barring potential wake turbulence (where offsetting to the upwind...

    Job Offer for all my Corporate Brethren -- CFI, CFII

    I realize this sucks okay, so kiss my behind. :P (That's a joke.) Seriously, I realize jobs are thin. However, I might be able to get a couple of people work. Details as follows: 1) Housing provided. NOT the Taj, but a bunk with sheets, a shower, and a place to shave. Free cable, internet...

    B&CA Legacy Operator Report

    It figures this issue would get lost in the mail. Does anyone have a copy of this from the online B&CA site they would be willing to post? Many thanks.

    Legacy and Lear Drivers AVOID STARBASE AVIATION - HOUSTON

    Okay I have now heard from FIVE pilots who have worked there. AVOID those a--holes. The CP is a d*ck. The whole chain of command is arrgoant. RUN for your lives. The word on the street is they're dorking Legacy Contrct Pilots around until they run out of currency then moving on to the...

    Beware EJM Embraer Legacy - Atlanta-Based

    Just an FYI... Got word from people who used to fly it that is worth passing along. Do your homework but... Apparently the owner is losing his a** on the airplane. They stopped paying mechanics and the pilots also quit for the same reason. The plane was for sale (apparently still is)...

    Net Jets to Furlough 500...??? Right...

    I'm sure people are getting carried away with zeroes but it does beg the question of how things are holding up over at NetJets. Any furlough rumors? I literally heard "NetJets is about to furlough 500 to 1000 pilots because business is off by a third this year." It sounds too stupid...

    Good AME - Texas (SAT, CRP, MFE, HRL, HOU) ???

    Trying to track down an AME that won't put me through the ringer. I just want the ticket punched. Prefer San Antoino or Rio Grande Valley but will take anything in between (Corpus, Kingsville, etc.). Thanks in advance.

    Corporate / Charter Humor

    I just remembered a funny story from this Fall. I was flying with a guy who is truly one of the great natural comedians and we were discussing just what the hell we would do with ourselves if we couldn't fly. Me: How about becoming a standup comic? His Reply: That won't work. Anything I...

    ARGH!!!! Stuck in a #&$*#&*# Hotel!!!!!!!!!

    I'm guessing some folks are spending more time in hotels these days between flights. Just wondering what boredom "countermeasures" folks use when stuck in the same hotel for more than say...four days... I've officially reached the end of the internet. Now what? BORED.

    Falcon 50EX Engine Failure at V1 Scenario

    This is one that I have always thought would be the ultimate "Oh Shiite!" moment but maybe I haven't considered it enough. - Max Weight Takeoff Slats + 20 with a Balanced Field - Airplane hits a flock of geese at V1 and blows two engines out (you pick 'em as it doesn't matter to me) From...

    Am I Just a Giant WIMP?????

    Well first of all some full disclosure......... I just got the word that my department is slashing itself in half. Considering I was next to the bottom on the totem pole I had no chance of making it and I knew it. Still..................... I'm burned. I was really hurt last week. Long...

    Embraer Announces Two New Jets

    I waited as long as I could stand. Clearly people do not consider Embraer a force to be reckoned with. That's too bad as they are an innovative company that stives for continuous improvement. I personally believe they have the potential to become an industry giant. Already #3...
