    Any traffic in the area, please, advise.

    Yeah, I knew that would get your attention. It was brought to my attention that the newest revision of the AIM specifically states that the phrase: "Any traffic in the area, please, advise." is bad and should not be used (4-1-9 (g)(1). SO, that should settle it, right? Discuss. Just for...

    Barefoot in Denver

    Hey, what's up with passenger screening at Denver International? It appears to me that they require everyone (other than flightcrew in uniform) to remove thier shoes before going through the metal detector. I thought that TSA was only "reccomending" that you take off your shoes, and this...

    It seems like it is generally understood that jumpseating (on other carriers) is not to be used by companies to move aircrew to duty assignments, however, from time to time, I have heard of operators who do this. Is this common? Do these operators lose jumpseat privileges? I heard that Kalitta...
