    Is Kalitta still hiring?

    I'm an outsider, but here is one possibility speak with the CP: http://www.aerocrewsolutions.com/pilot-job-fair/ Kalitta Air- Minimum 5,000 TT, 2,500 Jet. Preference will be given to those who have heavy experience or glass time.

    College Aviation Programs

    I would recommend some form of formal structured training to become a professional pilot. Jets are so much more common in low experience positions than in the past, and anyone flying a modern jet needs to know the aerodynamics of high altitude flight. The FBO patchwork education just doesn’t...

    All Eagle pilots getting numbers at AA?

    Well, I would have to say you're probably right. If SkyWest bought Eagle I would imagine they drove a hard bargain that protects their own best interests.

    All Eagle pilots getting numbers at AA?

    http://www.thestreet.com/story/11190664/1/american-to-split-aircraft-order-report.html?cm_ven=RSSFeed "The deal is expected to be announced Wednesday, when the carrier will also report earnings and announce the sale of American Eagle, the newspaper said." Who is buying Eagle?

    Lowered mins are here.

    Looking at the law I expect the requrements for credit toward the 1500 hr requirement to be the subject of intense lobbying effort. I suspect that American Eagle Airlines will keep stats on their current use of ATP's Regional Jet Standards Course, and lobby for that to be acceptable credit...

    The biggest aviation screw jobs. The 4 A's and a stain

    "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." It seems pilots forgot about this in the late 70's, and really lost the picture shortly after that. Management and the ATA couldn't have done what they've done otherwise.

    Boyd's take on $4 jet fuel and AA's new fees

    Just a quick estimate for you, at the risk of some public math: Continental spent $509million more in Q1 '08 than if they had the same CASM as Southwest excluding fuel. Total wages at CO were 729million for Q1, to put it in perspective. Pilots wages were only a fraction of that total wage...

    Boyd's take on $4 jet fuel and AA's new fees

    Not arguing, just pointing something out. Southwest IS a VERY well run airline, and has an advantage of about 20% CASM over the legacy airlines INDEPENDANT of any fuel hedge. Southwest clearly reports CASM excluding fuel, and they are an honest 18% to 20% lower cost than any legacy carrier. The...

    Retired Airline... 135 pilots

    Well, if you are talking about a 121 operation, both the dispatcher and the Captain must agree on the flight plan. If you filed a flght plan without your dispatcher, you helped your Captain and your company violate part 121 regulations.

    OPEC accuses U.S. on oil prices

    Well I was wrong about who signed the legislation, it was actually Clinton. Here is the link, and overview: http://www.cftc.gov/stellent/groups/public/@newsroom/documents/file/event091807_enron-levinbill.pdf The "Enron loophole" is a provision that was inserted at the last-minute, without...

    OPEC accuses U.S. on oil prices

    Yes and no...do you disagree that as the single largest consumer, our own futures market is having the largest influence?

    OPEC accuses U.S. on oil prices

    Bush removed caps on oil futures, and that is the reason that oil future prices have since moved so quickly.

    Opinions are like....

    I think World can have you out 16 and some fraction of a day. Second year pay ~$80/hr, A-fund retirement. Looks worthwhile, but you'll have to see if it fits your criteria. Good luck!

    Talking to the FAA medical office in Oklahoma

    http://www.aviationmedicine.com/ These guys are on contract with some of the pilot unions, and have an excellent reputation. If you are not covered by a union arrangement they will of course charge you, but so will any other doctor.
