    Comair strike authorization

    The MEC voted to hold a strike authorization ballot and crank up the strike preparedness committee, not that the crooked courts in this country will allow it to happen. Good times.

    NJ Competitive Mins?

    Anyone know what kind of times are competitive since news of the TA has been released? I know there's a flood of apps right now because people are trying to get the home basing. I assume that has brought the competitive mins up temporarily? I would also guess they will stay up somewhat, due...

    Arresting Cables?

    I have a few questions about operating at mil/civ airports when the cables are up. Don't remember ever hearing the subject broached in training or seeing it in the manuals. 1. If the cables are advertised as active on Rwy 15 when we're landing, are they at the approach end or the far end...

    rj fo question

    What's it like flying with some of these high time captains who think they're God's gift to aviation, that they paid more dues than you, that they fly like Chuck Yeager, and are as sharp as Einstein? Examples: I find that the captains with this kind of attitude usually can't fly for sh!t...

    CHQ going after low timers

    Chautauqua representatives recently visited Delta Connection Academy looking to recruit pilots with less than their current minimums. They said they would like to interview any CFI with more then 400 hrs. of dual given, preferably (but not mandatory) with at least 800 TT. Previously, mins for...

    WO's vs Contract Carriers

    At the risk of sounding ignorant, can someone break down for me the difference between the wholly owned regionals (CMR, ASA) and the contract carriers (CHQ, SKYW)? What are the advantages and disadvantages to Delta, for instance, of allotting flying to a company they own as opposed to one they...

    V2

    Can someone help me to understand exactly what V2 is and how it is calculated? I know it is takeoff safety speed but what exactly is safe? Where must V2 be reached in order to consider it a safe takeoff? Is V2 maintained after takeoff or just a speed you pass through on the way to Vyse...

    Delta Connection Academy

    Comair Aviation Academy officially changes its name tomorrow to Delta Connection Academy. The signs are up already. Any ideas on reasons? Opinions? From what I've seen, nothing else will change internally. When hiring picks up again, it could be the place to be if they plan to offer...

    Aviation movies

    I just watched Con Air on TV and it has to be the number one most stupid, unrealistic movie I've ever seen. Tuned in cause it had airplanes in it and was sorely disappointed, not that I expected much more. It made me wonder though...are there many good aviation movies out there? Maybe some...

    Da42

    Anyone looked at http://www.diamondair.com lately? They have a light twin to be certified that burns diesel or Jet A, 180 kt cruise @ 10 gph (total...not per side). Optional 3 screen glass cockpit, autofeather, lots of goodies. $360,000 = less than a Seminole. Anyone know anything about em...

    Departure mins?

    I am under the assumption that there are no takeoff minimums for aircraft operating under Part 91. Correct? Several of us have been discussing takeoff mins for 121, 125, 135 and we really opened up a can of worms. Eventually, people were trying to convince me that the 1/2 and 1 SM rule...

    Prohibited area?

    Can you accept an IFR clearance through a prohibited area? If so, what are the circumstances and where could one find this in published form?

    Id 90?

    The flights are looking pretty tight on Delta this weekend for non-rev travel and I was wondering how to go about checking the loads on other airlines for an ID 90 ticket. Is this possible or do I just have to show up and take my chances? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Raise the mins?

    You are in a category A aircraft shooting a straight in approach at 120 knots due to an ATC request, icing, or whatever reason. Do you raise the minimums to the next highest category if landing straight in? I've always been taught to stick with the published mins for my a/c category unless...

    Stuck valve?

    Here's one for you A&P/systems guys out there. I had a power loss last night with a student after descending from 4K to 2K. He levelled off, added power and the engine began to shudder. Full power gave us about 2000 RPM with a terrible vibration, enough to make it to the nearest airport...

    Is centerline thrust valuable?

    One of my CFI-I students is thinking about acquiring a Cessna Skymaster to build some multi time in between flight instructing. I guess he likes the Skymaster for the price and the safety. He has asked for my advice in the matter. My question is this...do employers consider centerline thrust...
