    How long did wisdom teeth removal keep you out?

    1500 Hours required to be in an airine cockpit

    You Debbie Downers need to read more and type less. This is the most significant progress made in our profession in decades.

    Wonderful Read. We should LEARN and PROSPER

    Timid deviators

    going around clouds, though they may be harmless, makes for a seemlessly smooth ride. Both your flight attendants and less than agile pax won't appreciate being knocked over by a quick light chop. it's probably a good idea to paint the storms you can't see under you just in case you need to...

    Flying Blind: Deregulation reconsidered

    STATISTICAL HIGHLIGHTS: Out of roughly 150 low-cost airlines founded since 1978, fewer than a dozen are still operating; they account for only about 10 percent of current airline capacity. Before deregulation, there were 11 major trunkline carriers; today, the country has six large mainline...

    NWA had same problem as AF 447

    i don't have tons of experience with pitot tubes, but isn't the real issue here flying in thunderstorms? The weather description matches that of a severe thunderstorm, the same as the AF weather situation.

    Gulfstream Academy "pilot factory" SCAM Revealed By CNN

    haha, this is my favorite post so far. Unfortunately, this sort of sound reasoning is not welcomed by the self-appointed experts on FI. How dare you rain on our narcissistic hysteria with that inconvenient piece of evidence!

    Looks like Gulfstream got the WSJ's attention

    all the midairs you listed were not in the flight levels in US airspace...are there any?

    Looks like Gulfstream got the WSJ's attention

    I was referring to Florida, not a 3rd world country with atc rules and services that pale in comparison to ours. Midairs below 10 in florida are common, in the flight levels i can't think of any. In the lower 48, atc is able to provide separation services for at least two reasons; transponders...

    Looks like Gulfstream got the WSJ's attention

    refer to your regulations, nobody at 370 is allowed to be without a transponder (making ATC separation possible). Below 10, no transponder required for part 91 ops (making see and avoid your only option). Midair collisions below 10 on vmc days in florida happen every year. No flight level...

    Consumerist: "Should a First Officer Make More Than 23k?" Ill informed Commenters

    I think we all agree that no airline pilot should be making 20k/year. What we disagree on is how we ended up with this reality. I argue that this is because of the decline of the labor movement. I refute the claim that this reality is due to principles of supply and demand. Both the military...

    Consumerist: "Should a First Officer Make More Than 23k?" Ill informed Commenters

    So why is it that the military treats its junior grade officers well even though there are tons of qualified people who'd love that job? Yes but we ARE talking about the initial commitment timeframe of life. Nobody starts at a regional AFTER they've gained the experience they need to go to a...

    Consumerist: "Should a First Officer Make More Than 23k?" Ill informed Commenters

    So you're willing to risk your life in combat, kill other human beings (sometimes for dubious reasons), orphan your family for months at a time, and even risk permanent injury to yourself by serving, but if the price isn't right you wouldn't do it? I don't think the boys and girls getting...
