International Pilots and smartphones
I still have and was grandfathered in.:D What a beautiful deal it was. Now skype will work over 3G/4G without wifi and that is very handy. Wished it was still available....ATT wacked it when the Ipad hit the market too free up bandwidth.. -

I guess some are getting desperate over at Omni.
All kidding aside I hope the guy gets the help he needs. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/11/06/pilot-accused-stealing-rental-car-near-seattle-airport/?intcmp=trending SEATTLE – An airline pilot accused of stealing a man's rental car during a bizarre encounter has been arrested. The... -
Did Evergreen get the World 747-400's ???
I am hoping not but I have heard that number thrown out as well. I am just guessing and hellfire the fact that my magic 8 ball is FUBAR is what got me into aviation of instead a real career like being the piano player at the local brothel. -
Did Evergreen get the World 747-400's ???
I am hoping the hemorrhage will stop at around sen. # 270. The most senior Capt. to be caught in the downgrade was about 9.5 yrs. in the left seat. I am doubting I will see the left seat here again. Hellfire I will be amazed if we are still in business this time next month. I have no crystal... -

Delta interested in buying an oil refinery?
In my experience you can run Jet A in a diesel engine however expect problems with seals if running a traditional type injection pump. Not sure how a common rail system will deal with it but I will guess better than the old style pumps. Jet A has a less oil in it and is a key lubricant in the... -
FA Meltdown Aboard AA Flight
It makes me wonder now that they have FAA issued liscenses when will they hvae to pass a second class medical. It may expose some of them that are slaves to pharmacuticals or those that maybe should be. -
Passenger goes nuts over peanut allergy!
I would think the most powerful woman in New York could afford a chartered aircraft. I guess powerful just isn't what it used to be! -
Sign Petition Removing Cargo Exemption
TTuite, I hear what you're saying about more government and agree but in this case I am not sure I will wait on my union to express a voice on the matter. Too often it seems the unions are like our politicians in that they are for sale to the highest bidder. Unfortunantly the membership is... -
Sign Petition Removing Cargo Exemption
I keep trying to sign the danged thing and it keeps looping me back but won't let me sign it. Anybody else have problems signing it. Might explain the low numbers. -

Merry Christmas to all those without seniority enough to be home!
Merry Christmas to all those without the seniority to be sleeping in your own bed tonight. Ya'll be safe out there! -
Why is this so damn expensive......
Sounds to me the shop has more than they can do or they just do not want to do it kind of pricing. In their defense however its not as simple as a car stereo but 6k seems high.- MD11Drvr

Jets within seconds of collision after pilot's error
I have to Fly TK way more often than I like (in fact later today) and those SOB's scare me. I had one pass 500 feet overhead in a descent because he screwed up the descent clearance but since it was in Ankara airspace it was no harm no foul. We were watching him on TCAS and it was clear night... -
Is Kalitta still hiring?
I have to agree in that there are worse places to be than Kalitta. Jobs are so much what you make them to be and it's your own personal career so if it is meeting the expectations of career path who am I to judge. -
Is Kalitta still hiring?
I will take it a step further. You would seriously pick Kalitta or World over Atlas. With the current management at World I would place Atlas at the top of that list of three. -

World Airways QOL?
Do a search as there is a fair amount of information about WOA on this site. To answer your question. Its fair to say 2 weeks +/- on, 2 weeks +/- off. The bid lines will have from 12 to 16 give or take days off, with no less than 12. Open time lines are built most of the time to have you on... -
Caribbean Airlines 737 Crashes in Guyana
You know in 14000 hours and 4 Jet types I had never heard that. It is referred to as speculation for a reason. Everyone just spitballing possibilities since no one will know until after the investigation. In my 20 years of aviation I have seen people do things in jets they learned in a 172... -
German Air-Traffic Controllers Plan Strike
You sure? I thought they sunk the Merrimac. -
Caribbean Airlines 737 Crashes in Guyana
Is it possible the crew retracted them in an effort to increase weight on wheels after touchdown. Not that I am condoning such a practice but it seems strange for them to be retracted. What Vapp would that aircraft need in that configuration. I know in the MD-11 you would dang near a dry lake... -
Kalitta / Atlas Air lifestyle
Having been at World for 11 years now I would say Atlas with todays information. With that said it was only 6 or so years ago when Atlas was on the ropes and things were bleak. It is fantastic to see Atlas turn it around and have a group of money men who seem interested in growing an airline... -
