    Why was the "Ask the DE" thread deleted?

    Gang-- I deleted the thread because we shouldnt use the forum to denigrate individuals, especially when they are specifically named in the thread. Adding insult to injury, the original poster decided to post as an examiner and give bogus answers to questions, masking his true intentions...

    Pilot Certificates with Photo

    Can't cut and paste the story, but check out this on Aero-News Network. As part of the new Intelligence Bill the FAA will now be required to issue pilot certificates with a photo of the pilot and provisions for biometric data. Details are being worked out. Interesting development...

    Hi folks-- I'm going on a long trip next month and need to know what kind of headset jack the 777 has. Is it the standard single prong electronic jack? Double? The dreaded dual tube acoustic jack? Yeah, I'm talking coach here...:) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Poll--Do You Like the New Format?

    Hi Gang-- As a result of the Webmaster's efforts you now have an "aviation only" forum in which to post and browse. Now that you've had a couple of days to look at it what do you think--do you like the new format? (edited for stupid spelling miztakes...)

    Psychic's Tip Leads to Search...YGBSM

    FORT MYERS, Florida (AP) -- A self-described psychic's tip that a bomb might be on a plane prompted a search with bomb-sniffing dogs that turned up nothing suspicious, but forced the cancelation of the flight. American Airlines Flight 1304 at Southwest Florida International Airport was canceled...

    Human Factors Committee?

    Hi all- Are there any members of the forum that are also part of their company's Human Factors Committee? If so, please PM me--I'm looking for background info so we don't have to re-hash certain issues. (And no, I'm not talking about the extended duty day exemption);) Thanks in advance...

    Carrying Food/Drinks into Cockpit-Legal?

    Gang-- Did a search on this and found nothing, so I want to run it by you. Our FOM says that we are not to bring food or drinks into the cockpit inflight. When I asked a check airman about the rule he said that there is a regulation prohibiting such a thing on a 121 flight. Apparently it is...

    I'll take Quotable Quotes, Alex...

    Me, to one each 15.75 year old daughter: "Hey there sweetie, we got your private ground school stuff today...you'll like the book!" Daughter replies, with absolute incredulity in her voice: "You mean I have to READ A BOOK?!?!?" (Sigh)...to be young again. The adventure continues...

    First time to Hot-lanta!

    OK, ok, I'm gonna 'fess up and ask for your input. I'm going into ATL for the first time (in the quasi-pointy end of the aircraft, anyway) on Friday am and out that evening. I'm just interested in your hints for an easier time operating there. Do the controllers like you to maintain X speed...

    War Story

    Gang-- This is an informal email from one of our F-16 pilots to some of his bros. He was flying over Iraq during that huge sandstorm that hit a few days into the war. I cannot supply a source, but, as a former military pilot, it sounds far too realistic to be a hoax. (By the way, I...

    Couple rounds with Sugar Ray

    Be up front about it. Before the interviewer asks about it (I'll be he's thinking about it already, though...) just offer up a quick explanation with a smile, e.g. "Sorry about the bruises, but I stay in shape by playing XXX, and I was accidentally hit by one of my buddies. I'll be back to my...

    Can You Get News on HF?

    Probably a stupid question, but considering that we may go to war during a transcon flight sometime soon, is there any way to pick up a news broadcast on HF? We don't have an ADF, and JB (wisely) decided that the only TV station we can get is the Wx channel...with no audio to boot... Thanx!
