    ATC expected descent rate

    What rate of descent does ATC normally expect from aircraft? Do they differentiate between a cruise descent, descent into the terminal area or a descent on vectors to final? I've heard plenty of opinions on this so I'd appreciate an actual reference to backup your answer. Thanks.

    Consolidation??

    Hey Folks, I'm looking for various opinions/personal experience regarding consolidation requirements (FAR 121.434). If you already have a type rating and more than 100 hours (more like 1000 hours) of part 121 operating experience as SIC in an aircraft type - do you have to repeat the 100...

    UAL stock to furloughees re: taxes

    Anyone who got the UAUA stock last year and sold it have some gouge on how to deal with the sale for tax purposes? They took a good chunk of mine and sold it to pay the taxes up front. So, I guess my questions are: 1 - what do you use as the "basis" for the stock. Since we were basically...

    MEM commuter hotel?

    I've used the Holiday Inn Select on Democrat in the past. They used to give a $55/day rate to Fedex pilots. Now it's up to $83 according to the person I spoke with, as is the Marriot courtyard in the same area. I can beat that with my military discount for $78, but it's still a little high...

    Slowing at/by 10K

    I got into a discussion with another pilot about descending and slowing by 10K. He was dumbfounded the first time he saw someone select altitude hold or roll the v/s to 0 at 10K, let the aircraft slow to 250 and then continue descending to the cleared altitude below 10K feet. He had been...

    Fedex Mil Leave and Bids

    Anyone have some gouge on what would happen if someone is awarded a new position on the MOAB and then goes on mil leave before starting training? Do you keep the bid and train on the new aircraft upon return from mil? Also, if you go on ML prior to completing your probationary year, does that...

    No mask above FL250?

    The Captain I was flying with last night said he had heard the FAA was going to remove the requirement for donning the mask above FL250 (didn't say anything about above FL410). Anyone else heard this?

    JB Uniform

    Saw my first JB uniform tonight when one of the JB dudes jumpseated into MEM on Fedex. All I can say is, Wow! Does the company apologize when they issue that thing to you guys? ;) "Welcome to JetBlue. We have some good news and some bad news. The good news is you're hired, the bad news...

    Fedex catering??

    Fedex dudes, Just a question. Where do we get the typical catering stuff put on the aircraft. I'm talking the sandwich, cereal, etc. Are Fedex employees producing these or are they contracted out. I’m starting to think we take folks loading boxes in the hub and give them a day off to make...

    Jetblue Landing Observation

    Was anyone else surprised when the first responders to the aircraft IMMEDIATELY began wandering around UNDER the aircraft nose as it sat on its stub??!! I really would have thought a conservative/safer approach would have been to get some jacks or something on the nose in case the strut let go...
