I'm writing to tell you folks that your rules (as re-posted in the board header by UAL78 AFTER they took down the non-av chat board) SPECIFICALLY state that ALL non-aviation related chat should be entered in the section of the same name.
I'm making this post here since it best describes what I...
Check this out everyone! This is why there are no pat answers and why you hvae to ask questions before you volunteer your answer to nasty scenarios in an interview. Oh, and CRM sometimes gets ad-libbed a bit too - when thinking outside the box is a must because that's where you are!

It seems there was a lot more to know about what went on aboard that NWA airplane than Ms. Jacobsen reported. It just goes to show ya that there's two sides to every story. She published and was paid for her's. The Air Marshals collected their salaries.
It also proves that she only saw what...
I have been noticing an interesting and somewhat disturbing trend in the past three or four months. With jobs becoming more available now, I think it’s important that anyone vying for one of them understand what they’re getting into when they interview. The trend I’ve noticed is a distinct...

The point is that if you see a question about suspension or revocation or some other legal term on an application, or if you are asked point blank you need to know whether you can avoid disclosure of the issue or not. Now...
How many of you had the nerve to watch and listen to the murder of Nick Berg last week? I raise this question because I've just read the thread on "Welcome to Bushland." No matter what you think the right side of the argument is, the murder of Nick Berg and our willingness to forget...
Everyone’s chimed in on the TEB issue and no one’s said anything about some stuff at TEB that can get you in serious trouble, or dead.
I fly into TEB about 30-40 times a year. Here goes.
TEB is an old airport. As such, its construction is archaic and out of step with the traffic it now...
As many of you are aware, in the waning days of his administration, California's ousted governor, Gray Davis, tried several desperate measures (in vain) to curry the favor of potential voters.
One of these measures was the signing into law of a bill that gives illegal aliens the right to...
Why have I chosen runway incursions to go on a rant about?
Perhaps it’s because I’ve prevented three of them from happening to me when controllers have erred within the past year. Perhaps its because I’m in charge of addressing the issue at my company. Perhaps it’s the incredulous, “Are you...
Had this one posed to me the other day.
This deals with heavy crew requirements under Part 135. The basics are as follows according to 135.269:
Three pilots gets you an 18 hour duty period and 12 hours aloft with no one in the seat more than 8 hours.
Four pilots gets you a 20 hour duty...
As some of you may be aware, I've got more than a few things to say about the subject of incursions. I'm just interested in who has actually been involved in one, how serious it was and how it all turned out in the end.
My view is that even with the 2002 statistics showing dramaitic...
I'm planning on writing a piece about what happens when the FAA decides you've been a bad little airman.
What I need is some information from as many of you as would care to share your thoughts. What I'm interested in is what, if anything, your employer would do to assist you in your defense...

Where do you see yourself personally/professionally in five years?
This question takes a different tack; it invites you to look not to your past, but to your future for the answer. Many people are far too speculative in answering this question because they are uncertain of either what they...
Previously I posted a discussion on the first of four alcohol-related situations I discuss in my book that are sometimes posed to applicants in airline interviews. That question dealt with a crewmember you were scheduled to fly with seemingly not being in compliance with the minimum time...
I know. I'm doing it again but the most recent discussion about situations involving alcohol left a few things that I think are important out. My book on aviation interviews does not so I will quote it here. This is not to take the most important aspect of any alcohol related situation away...
In Part I we left off with the Captain having just gotten something in sight, continuing the approach and landing. The question is properly posed at this point, "What would you do now Mr. F.O.?"
This is a different question that demands a totally different approach. If you’re on the ground...
I stopped by and noticed that the action had picked up a bit. I thought I'd join in.
For those of you who don't know me "TIS" stands for The Interview Specialist. What can I say? I needed a handle. This one stuck. I'm not really new to this board though it's been a long while since I've...
