Unusual airline call signs
That's Seaport Airlines, hauling people around in PC-12s. I've always wondered where the callsign came from, any Seaporters have some insight? -

Horizon announces intention to fly from Everett's Paine Field
Once you've flown 8 legs for 4.7 hours of credit, then you can bitch. Until then, you'll have Q200 guys smacking you upside the head for talking like that. -
TSA Breaks 10 AE Aircraft in ORD
Be careful not to confuse the TSA with Menzies rampers. Yes they're both incompetent, but in different ways. Although, those differences seem to be fading, because now they're both damaging aircraft. -

If you're going to divert... (9E flight tonight)
The fact that they're flying into KCAK only enhances the LOL in all of this. -
Goodbye Horizon Jets...
I don't think anyone doubts that our pay rates had a lot to do with what's going on. But are you seriously saying that we should willingly drop our pay just because everyone else has? If everyone takes on that stance, the decline will never end. We'll eventually see widebodies being flown for... -

Goodbye Horizon Jets...
Do your math again and get back to me, would ya? And thanks for the support, by the way. With attitudes like that, it's no wonder our pay rates keep up the downward spiral. -
Goodbye Horizon Jets...
Yup, one of the only pilot groups that had the nuts to try to keep the bar from lowering even further, and this is what we get. F*cking lovely! This industry is screwed. -

Horizon to add 4 more "clown cars" to fleet
Right, because pulling half of your RJ fleet off the line and parking them in the paint shop all at once is wise. That's not nearly as bad as "Folks, we hope you didn't want to get there anytime soon, because your airplane is sitting in the paint shop. But don't worry, we have spares. Oh... -

Horizon to add 4 more "clown cars" to fleet
I'm pretty stoked to see these. It's about flippin' time that we got some theme paint jobs that aren't a complete embarrassment (Helloooooo Skittles). A little impatient, are we? You do realize that we pulled out of DEN a mere 3 weeks ago, right? -
Ugly and Unexpected Attrition at Horizon
This is very true. But don't forget that a huge part of management's job is to come up with the solutions. When they don't do that, or can't do that, they aren't doing their job very well, are they? What happens to a pilot when they can't do what their job requires anymore? Anyone who has... -
Who IS this Toolbox?

U Fly Mike / Bose Quiet 2 TSO issue
I'm a little lost here. I'm still looking for the part in 121.359(g) where it says "approved/TSO'd/etc boom mike". I just see "boom mike". 21.305 is great and all, but where does it specify that the boom mike is a "material, part, process, or appliance that is required to be approved under this... -
