    Does it ever feel like a job?

    It suddenly becomes a job when you upgrade :mad:

    LDA Approach

    If electronic vertical navigation is provided from a ground-based transmitter from the FAF to the MAP, it is a precision approach

    UAL Interview

    Send them updates every six months? I heard that their hiring dept is completely shut down and not sending out Scantrons. Anyone? Bueller?

    Airlines resume hiring!

    The article in FLYING doesn't surprise me. Although overall it is a good GA magazine, their editorialists have in the past (mid-90's) reasoned that pay-for-training is justified. They also once had a two-page story about a Lear driver who scabbed at CAL, didn't like airline flying, and went...

    Do you need any previous experience in retail?

    Transition from CFI to regional jet

    ACA hires Embryo-Riddle interns with 600 hours TT into the CRJ and FRJ. It's not impossible, but it is tough. Expect to be fire-hosed with information, not just systems but Indoc stuff as well (basically non-systems like FOM, Ops-Specs ...) I would suggest the following to anyone with low...

    Where are we headed?

    Once things pick up again (1-2 years) and customer demand increases the number of flights, you will see the same congestion and delays that we saw pre-911. To some extent one of the contributing problems will be the RJ (it takes up just as much airspace as a 777 but carries less than 1/6 of...

    Pan Am

    It's a travesty that they're allowed to use the Pan Am name/logo. Sorry, just my $0.02.:mad:

    aca or asa ???

    Where do you live? If you can avoid commuting that would be the decision-maker for me. I work at ACA and we have it pretty good for a regional. The one-year jet upgrades are a thing of the past however. And with the problems at Dornier they have been hiring back into the J-41. (Then again...

    Delta Pilots Lose Arbitration Ruling

    Please give an example of how ALPA "screwed your airline."

    Delta Pilots Lose Arbitration Ruling

    Gumby: If you don't consider the following things to be good, then quit ALPA: 1) Safety awareness on the local and national level in the form of safety committees and recommendations that virtually every industrial and governmental aviation agency takes seriously. 2) Protecting the line...

    Recalls in May for CoEx/Express Jet??

    Where's the "Men in Aviation" Conference going to be held? :p

    Jets for jobs is working

    I thought AOPA was a union. :rolleyes:

    Twin Time

    It depends how much money you have to burn. Unless your Dad's a CEO I can't imagine plunking down $5000 to fly an Apache for a 100 hours. My advice: Get your CFI. Get an MEI at a place that might hire you on. :o

    Potomac Air & Jets for Jobs

    Gee, I guess you told us. Care to "enlighten" us ignorant types why Express pilots have a greater right to fly USAirways routes than furloughed mainline pilots? :p

    One listing?? at AA, UAL DAL?

    I think we're talking about two different animals here. Animal #1: A staple. This is highly unlikely to happen at any major in the near (or far) future for the following simple reason. Let's say Airline X decides to staple their regional pilots to their list. A windfall for the pilots at...

    Frontier

    How are things at Frontier? Anyone out there who works for them? I heard the airline will be all-airbus in a few years. Payscales and upgrade times would be appreciated, along with any raves/complaints. ;)

    Potomac Air & Jets for Jobs

    It's all US Airways flying and should be flown by US Airways pilots (if they want it.) In the grand scheme of things, us regional guys are just "hired help" doing the flying that the mainline guys don't want to do. If you don't like it, apply to the low-cost majors/nationals (Jetblue, SWA...

    How are things at AirTran?

    I've heard some good things about the company. Any insiders care to pontificate? Is BWI a domicile yet? Do all new hires go to the 717? What are the pay rates? (Particularly year 1 and 2 and first-year CA) Upgrade time? Any talk of ALPA? Thanks in advance :eek:

    AA: How to Address/Phone change?

    When things finally get back to "normal" and AA starts hiring again, what type of hours are competetive for a civilian. I have a letter of rec from an AA 777 CA. How much weight does this hold in the post-Cecil days? Do they like to see multiple type-ratings like UAL, or just overall turbine...
