    Astar done for good?

    Saw a post on Pprune that said DHL terminated Astar completely and they are done for good. Any truth to this? Sad news if so, and condolences and luck to the affected crews.

    Upgrading (as a pax) on Delta

    Hello all: Heading out of ATL to DXB in a couple of days. I'm working for an airline in the Middle East and naturally they're too cheap to buy us business class tickets. I'd really love to get out of coach for that long flight if I could. I'll be traveling in my uniform and will have my...

    Tradewinds (Sky Lease I) Circling the Drain...

    Just announced from the CEO that CTS, Tradewinds one and only customer, has canceled the contract effective in the middle of May. The freight will be handled by FedEx. No word if anything else will come about but I don't see a future for the company after much longer. Good luck to everyone...

    Preliminary report issued by Belgian authorities for Kalitta EBBR runway overrun

    As recently seen on PPrune. No idea if this showed up here somewhere else back in June, when it appears to have been issued. Though I don't remember ever seeing it. Also no idea when the final report may be issued. http://www.mobilit.fgov.be/data/aero/AA-2008-13.pdf

    UAE medical

    Anyone taken the UAE govt. medical recently or aware of what the medical entails? I have a special issuance medical from the FAA, renewed every two years, which qualifies me for a U.S. first class medical. I'm about to go to work for a company in the UAE. I'd hate to find out that the physical...

    NTSB Says FAA's Response to Fatigue Issues "Unacceptable"

    Of course, this is relevant to all sections of this web site, but possibly more so to those of us working for the scumbag cargo operators. I'm not holding my breath waiting for the FAA to actually do anything. A NPRM was issued in 1995 for revision to the duty time limitations. They sure have...

    Lear 45 Captain Salary

    Anyone have any average salary info for a Lear 45 Captain in the Pacific Northwest? Can't find anything online and ditched my ProPilot with salary survey long ago. As a side note: Why are corporate jet salaries so super-secret and hard to find anywhere? Seems like in any other industry, you...

    How long to get the NetJets app in the mail?

    Emailed my resume on the last day of November or so. Nothing in the mail yet. 6000-plus hours, current B747 and A300 PIC, a few hundred hours in Lear 20 and 30 series from a previous job several years ago. I would assume I am competitive to at least get an application? Any ideas?

    Cheap or Free Parking at PDX?

    Anyone know a place to park for cheap or free, decently secure, at or near PDX? I have been using Air Park and it is about $6.50 a day for a crew discount, but that ads up after two weeks on the road. The employee lot seems to have about fifty thousand empty spaces, all the time, but you have...

    Alaska/Horizon pilots...leather jacket question

    So when I was at Emery we had a special deal with San Diego Leather for bomber jackets at a really good price.
