    Another 747F in the dirt

    The latest "incident" that this thread was originally referring to at JFK this last weekend, was a Polar -747..... not an Atlas bird as depicted in your link.

    Question for Cactus Drivers

    "Could someone posts the retirements for America West per year from 2005 to 2010" I posted something about retirements on some other thread, but don't ask me where it was. Here's what I recall (this came from "management" Captain): roughly 100 retirements in 2005, 100 in 2006, and somewhere...

    Gemini New Contract Pay Rates:

    Chronic wrote: "Gemini's got a good group of pilots, time away from home is rough though." That statement is dead-on. As a former G-Spot F/O, the long trips were made bareable by flying with some of the finest crews around. I will continue to re-tell the many stories. Best of luck to Gemini.

    Cactus Aug 16 class??

    Hey fellers.... for those of you about to interview: Make sure you get your money's worth out of the sim prep course. The reason I say this is that I just had my PC three days ago and the checkairman was going to be one of the sim evaluators this week. He told me that the Company thinks that...

    Testing Alternates for Colorblindness?

    mar, I'm right there with you brother.... I too failed the colored dots test in the book, then promptly failed the light gun test (but was able to retake it a couple more times until I passed), then in order to get the 1st class medical, I had to do the flight test with the local fed. All of...

    America West Pilots-Questions

    PositiveRate: 350DRIVER is a new-hire at HP. Also, your memory is pretty darn good and your information is pretty accurate. mvi: As it's already been said, there was a time that HP was struggling to have a happy workforce. Over the past few years, it has steadily improved. As with any...

    Cingular GSM Network

    Ok, I'll be the goofball that has to ask........... what is GSM? How does it compare to Tri-Band?

    AWA hiring.........still

    For those of you interested in the hiring status at America West, here's the latest and greatest forecast. From the Chief Pilot: "We're still planning on hiring 90 pilots between Jan and June and, hopefully, about the same for the remainder of the year". This pace may not be the feverish...

    Couple of questions

    Nicely put, 350DRIVER. That's got to be one of the clearest explanations I've heard. Congrats on getting aboard Cactus! :cool:

    VP-40

    Pardon the interruption......... but on the topic VP's....... does anyone know of any alumni group for VP-46? My dad was a Gray Knight until the early '70's, and has lost touch with most (if not all) of his squadron mates. It would be a kick if he hooked up with them again. Thanks in advance.

    America West?

    Yes, interviews are almost an ongoing event at AWA. The only catch is that you need that silver bullet.......... or was it the golden bee-bee........ no, I think it was the brass knuckles..... Anyway, as it's the same story: a letter and/or some sort of "in" is like a peacock feather in your...

    AWA Apps

    I think LOR's can speak volumes about the quality (or should I say apparent quality) of an applicant -- depending on who writes it, and what and how it's written. Even more important is who READS it. Having recently flown a trip with a check airman that is FREQUENTLY on the interview panel...

    America West

    Gemini Air Cargo

    "The employees of Gemini have worked extremely long and hard over the past 18 months to close this restructuring." You know what that means? That means there were (and still are) pay freezes, furloughs, etc. Once again, Gemini employees took it in the shorts and many good people were kicked...

    Handicap Access on SWA flight

    The folks at WN are a bunch of professionals. I can assure you that they will handle the situation with dignity and care -- as if your grandfather was their own.

    AWA hiring to continue

    Tradewinds in GSO

    I know of a Captain and Flight Engineer that went there after a furlough and aren't real happy doing what they do. According to them, the schedules and the pay are "less than desireable". They are, however, happy to have jobs. You are correct, I think Tradewinds is very selective in their...
