    Dispatchers

    I don't see much recent attention paid here to aircraft dispatchers, their professional track or career prospects. It's a viable route for those who want to be part of the airline world but not as a pilot or mechanic. I've seen considerable attention paid to this on another website. It might...

    MOXY...Neeleman's latest start up

    While start ups are pretty risky, they're entertaining to watch. Neeleman has pretty good credibility in this area so he's particularly worth watching. Many articles have come around about Moxy and those linked below aren't new but contain a couple of intriguing quotes. Notice he alleges...

    Irish Pilots Joining Aussies in USA ?

    It appears the Irish are trying to join the Aussies on the E3 visa that allows Aussies to come fly for some of the regional carriers here. Not a done deal but worth following. I'm not familiar with the Irish GA av system and whether it produces very many 1500 hour pilots who'd be interested in...

    Recruiting Expat CFIs ?

    Several US regionals have been recruiting and hiring 1500 hour Aussies under an E3 visa for a while now but this is the first flight school I've seen recruiting expats. IASCO has been around for a very long time: “IASCO is an internationally recognized Flight Training School. This is a great...

    In light of all the talk about rapid captain upgrades in the Part 121 regional world, I'll post a link to what I think is the FAR reference defining the flight time needed to take one of those rapid upgrades: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/14/121.436 I have to admit, I didn't know 500...

    Asian Start-Up Airlines

    These are just four examples of Asian start-up carriers. If there's this crippling, worldwide pilot shortage, why are people still starting airlines. Asia is supposed to be hardest hit by this shortage. So, why do people commit large sums of money if they can't get people to fly their...

    Republic Sponsoring Canadian Pilots ?

    Seems Republic is sponsoring at least a small number of Canadians for an H1B visa: “We are currently accepting some visas and could possibly offer the required assistant to sponsor your visa. If you need a H1B visa, this is done in April each year. Although our candidates for 2018 have already...
