Comair and Delta Furloughed Pilots
Give it a rest. Oh please...there were many such as myself who disagreed with the decision and said so but what do you expect...was I supposed to quit? Oh yeah, I'm sure as a six month FO on probation, my campaign to unseat JC would have been real successful. What happened has taken on a... -

New glasses. New medical required??
So here's the deal. I'm 34 and have been flying for over ten years and always tested 20/20 vision military and civilian physicals. At my last physical with the Air Guard, I tested 20/40 in one eye and had to get glasses to fly with. No problem on the military side. The question is on the...- Otto

Speculator's mocking the airlines
Why are you guys so wound up about this letter? These guys are clearly amateurs in understanding the airline biz as evidenced by the above statement. There is 30 years of evidence to the contrary that people will be willing to pay more for "better service". Clearly ignorant kid talk. -

Mesa takes Delta to court!
Honor the contract they signed? Kind of like Mesa should honor the contract they signed with Hawaiin and Aloha not to compete after seeing their financials? I guess the rule of law only applies when it's in your favor, right? -

Captains that say "I'm laid back"
If there is an incident or accident, they are going to blame you no matter what you say. -

McCain Hates Pilots
We have friends in town who are very close to a certain former Republican congressional leader and he told them in private that between Romney, McCain, Hillary and Obama, McCain is the only one that truly scares him...he said he's crazy enough to actually push the button (and this from a... -

The future of Comair? Shut down???
Should''ve had those 70's Lawson wasn't asking for more 70's...Comair and DELTA wanted more 70 seaters because there was a legitimate market need. The number was capped by scope so Delta settled for more 50 seaters because it was the best they could do. Fast forward five years and Delta has... -

Delta Connection Announcement Today
Article from the Cincy Enquirer Comair gets 14 new jets BY ALEXANDER COOLIDGE Comair is getting 14 bigger regional jets. Parent company Delta Air Lines said today it has negotiated a deal with Canadian aircraft maker Bombardier to swap out 14 10-year-old, 50-seat CRJ-100s and upgrade them... -

FEDEX or Alaska?
Thanks for the update...I wasn't sure if the figures were the latest when I created the table. It may be overly conservative with the Fedex track but I think conservative is the way to go when trying to make this decision. Many a pilot has left company A to go to company B, expecting the past... -

FEDEX or Alaska?
Have you run the numbers? Using the info off of www.airlinepilotcentral.com, I ran the numbers of what you could expect at the two companys over the next 5 years. Granted, certain assumptions had to be made but I thought this represents a career track you could expect. Here is what I came up... -

Comair vs. ASA
Huh? So by your reasoning, every company in America should just liquidate their assets and cash out to maximize shareholder value? You guys are just DYING for Comair to fail, aren't you? -

Pilotless Aircraft...looks like it will be awhile.
Interesting article about the USAF Predator in todays edition of the USA Today. The article is about how the Air Force is short staffed and can only fill about 1 in 3 of the mission requests it gets. The thing that caught my eye, however, is the accident rate. They have lost 53 of 139... -

Any Predator pilots here on flightinfo? I've got a couple of questions I'd like to fire your way. Thanks! -

Comair vs. ASA
Use your head. If Delta wanted to sell Comair in pieces, don't you think they would have done that before spending millions in legal fees on the 1113 process? The airline is worth more as a single entity than it is in pieces. The real question is will it be sold to another airline, IPOed, or... -

Comair/Delta question?
Work at Virgin America or Skybus where they will sit 2-3 years as an FO and then a Captain for 20 vs. being an FO/ gear handle puller at Delta for 20 years and a Captain for 2-3. Yeah those poor bastards. -

Comair BK Claim Question
My understanding is that it's for damages as a result of the new TA (pending ratification) so it would only be for pilots on the roster from the date of signing forward. Kind of a raw deal if you just retired. Just passing along what I heard...don't shoot the messenger. As far as disbursement... -

Question for FedEx or UPS pilots...
Flying for brown or purple is the ultimate goal for me someday but I busted my private checkride several years ago (flew through the boundary of class D airspace). I have passed every checkride since...all part 121 and every ride in the Air Force, including flight school. So my question is will... -

Comair upgrade time question
Avg. reg upgrade= 3.8 years Why does every CFI out there think a 2 year or less upgrade at the regionals is the norm and almost a constitutional right?? I hope it works out for you but since you asked, I will give you a dose of reality. Partly out of curiousity myself, I took data from... -

US Regional pilots are suckers?
I can't believe anyone would support Hillary for the simple reason that would be 24 years of nothing but Bushs and Clintons in the White House if she won. Maybe she'd get lucky and get voted in a second term and we could make it 28. Maybe Jeb could run and then Chelsea would be old enough... -

US Regional pilots are suckers?
It's socialism vs. capitalism Part of the reason is Canada is more of a socialist country where workers rights, pay, pensions, etc get more respect. In the good ol' USA there has been this unquestionable faith in the free market since the fall of the Soviet Union and un unfettered belief that... -
