Regional to Reserve Guy..
Nick,
I am exactly the person you are talking about. I took a MLA from my regional job 2.5 years ago. During my absence, I have kept my seniority and flight benefits. As far as pay, I will gross 45K this year as 1Lt--It is amazing how per diem and housing...
Are there any pilots out there on extended mil leave and still able to keep their names in the CASS database? Myself and a few friends are trying to get our respective airlines to restore our CASS benefits. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
More than just cheating...
There are many facts about the cheating scandal that have not been released. I will say that there was an inappropriate relationship going on between an IP and a student. This is probably the reason why the scandal went so high up the chain. Normally, Flight/Squadron...
I second the apartment gig...
I just arrived down to Altus and decided to go with the apartment option. It beats the hell out of any of Altus's "fine hotels." Living quarters on base are not bad, but they are only a quarter the size of my single-bedroom aprtment. Since PIQ runs for over four...
About 85-90 N1 will give you a 200 KIAS comfortable climb. To maintain 200 KIAS, bring the power back to the horn and then about half a knob width forward--I think the FF is around 450 to 500 a side, depending on weight.
Aetc
Let's not forget that Altus is an AETC base. I know for a fact that there has been an increased focus on stopping alcohol incidents in the training command in response to what happened at one of the UPT bases this past year. I would bet that the other AETC bases have had their own...
Tans Air???
Anyone know if the new airline mentioned above is actully Trans Air???--the Part 135 cargo outfit that sits at the end 4R @ HNL. Rumor has it that they were recongfiguring there Shorts 360's for pax service out of OGG. I think 351TA is one of theirs???
Info on the UAL 757 in SEA
I believe there is a huge gash than penetrated the fuselage on the left side of the plane (the side of the plane you cannot see) caused by a catering or cleaning crew truck. Since the 757 is no longer being manufactured, it is going to be awhile before new skin...
New hire info...
Question: Training Class? (3-16-04) How many pilots were in the new training class on Monday and do you know where they will be based?
Response: Following is the break down of where the 24 new hires will be based.

Chances are good :)
If you do in fact get selected by a unit, your chances of getting a slot from the board are excellent. This, of course, is assuming that you have no prior record [criminal], a stamped FC1, and have a decent PCSM (> 75). I have a friend who was selected by the board without...
Congrats!!!
CFIIer,
I went before the March the board this year (2003) and went to OTS 5 months later. Expect an OTS slot anytime between July and December of next year. Also, the older you are, the sooner you will get your slot.
On another note, as soon as board results are released, go...
ENJJPT
Ask the pilots in your upper class--opps, we are already gone!!!
Seriously, ask your FTO and if he does not know, ask another FTO until you get a decent answer. Your Flight Commander might be able to help you out too.
I doubt you need to include scores and test results--I would...
October OTS Date...
Contrail777,
I will let you blaze a trail for me and the rest...I start OTS in October. I want to get in touch with you as soon as I finish the island hopping sequence.
Congrats Again!
SkywayFO,
Scores are not everything...My highest scores (Pilot and Nav) were...
I'm in!!!
Swass,
Both Contrail777 and I will be going to McConnell. I had a couple messages waiting for me after I returned from a "turn." It feels so great that knowing that I will not be stuck in a turboprop for the next five years.
To all those who offered advice and suggestions, I...
Who is next???

BOGOTA, Colombia, March 21 (Reuters) - Struggling Colombian airline Avianca and its U.S. subsidiary of the same name have filed...
Who all is going before the Reserve Pilot Selection Board today? Thought maybe those of us waiting for our final rubber stamp could identify ourselves, so that the new guys starting the process could see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. It took me exactly a year to get my board...
