    Germanwings plane crashed intentionally by F/O

    The fact that we are counting with a particular mental illness that will make a person intent on harm not go ahead with his or her plans because they migt be intimidated by a girl shows how ridiculous this line of thinkng is...! We need to address the problem and not try to find fixes that won't...

    Germanwings plane crashed intentionally by F/O

    Nonsense...! On the Fedex incident there were three other able bodied crew members on the flight deck and I don't have to remind anyone of how close this individual came to accomplish his evil task....! We are not addressing the problem, trying to find "feel good" solutions that somebody with...

    Germanwings plane crashed intentionally by F/O

    I just don't believe in "feel good, knee jerk" solutions that don't really work

    Germanwings plane crashed intentionally by F/O

    You can access the flight deck in case of incapacitation, you don't need a cabin attendant in there to do that..! But you do need a person there to look through the peephole if you don't have security cameras...! All this discussion about having two people on the flight deck as a way to stop a...

    Germanwings plane crashed intentionally by F/O

    This policy is not in place to prevent the crew member left behind from committing mass murder, this policy is in place because the airlines in the US are too cheap to equip the A/C's with security cameras..., the purpose of the C/A on the flight deck is to look through the peep hole and make...

    Air India is hiring...

    Who would take that job when you could make more money flying a turboprop in Japan? The reality of the market is that companies with substandard offers to expat pilots won't get any applicants

    Those Asian carriers man, I tell ya...!

    SWA Removes B737 Type Requirment

    I'm sure he said that, that is what they always say....! About your claims..., prove it..! Show me evidence of any company that has All Nippon Airways on any do not fly list...!

    Babysitting the airplane

    I have an army of people wearing white hard hats and white gloves for that....!

    SWA Removes B737 Type Requirment

    Our logic is not their logic..., we can try to analyze their policies all we want but at the end it is their policy and they won't change it..., on the international market you look for a job while employed or recently unemployed..., after six months you don't exist.

    SWA Removes B737 Type Requirment

    Age? Well, there are some jobs that have limits on them and others that take guys over 60, it all depends..., now out of currency? Very tough! In the international market within 6 months is the line in the sand

    SWA Removes B737 Type Requirment

    Everybody that fails an interview says the same thing....! Because if you want to say that he preferred to be out of currency vs taking any job while trying to get a better gig I have to raise the BS flag on that one..., we have a 90 day shelf life, after that it's very difficult to be...

    Japan Raises Pilot Retirement Age to 67

    You won't see any changes on medical standards..., won't happen..! Most likely they will just offer another expat pilot contract at JAL and increase the T&C's to attract suitable pilots.

    SWA Removes B737 Type Requirment

    There are many jobs abroad for 747 skippers..., a few with bases in the US even. Air China, Korean, NCA to name a couple, all have either pilot bases or reverse rosters from the US.

    Japan Raises Pilot Retirement Age to 67

    Correct..., this contract went away with JAL's bankruptcy. But go forward 6-7 years and they are back making a profit looking at empty flight-decks. Like us on the "blue team" this contract at AJX was supposed to be gone by now...., but now the order is to keep hiring through 2018 and the...

    Japan Raises Pilot Retirement Age to 67

    Six months up to the point of the check ride...! Two more months on line training LOL....! Lots of time off in between though..., not as bad as it sound. The over 60 medicals are very tough, and the over 63 medicals are very difficult to pass, amongst other things you have to wear a heart...

    Japan Raises Pilot Retirement Age to 67

    The situation in Japan as far as pilot shortages is dire...! Both ANA & JAL have massive retirements and they are expanding their international routes with big A/C orders. Both companies have a contractual retirement age of 60 but they have relaxed the contract to allow over 60 pilots to come...

    Associates degree

    Over the years I got hired at three majors in the US.., I know what's required. Now that is a pilots qualification right there..., When we say blue over brown we mean cyan over maroon for you there art guys...! LOL! Thank you for making my afternoon, that was funny!

    Associates degree

    Smart and educated are two very different things...., I know a few people with masters that are as dumb as a bar stool. You just need to read some of the posts on this very thread from people that claim to have superior education.

    Associates degree

    The "tick the box" crowd seems to think that people who don't agree with them are anti-education..., quite the opposite is true, I went all the way in my studies and so will my son that is starting to talk "pilot" What I would like to see is some logic to the requirement, if the requirement...
