    Air Canada J/$

    Well Dang! The music just stopped over at Air Canada if you want to cross into the US. It used to be free to j/s over there, and now it's like $53 out of YUL!! It's sad to see you can get a cheaper LCC fare than what the stupid taxes and security fees add up to. Nice job of the various...

    DCA Cirrus Down in SFB

    With so many alumni in the Regionals, I thought it would be relative to place this here: DCA Loses a Cirrus and two aboard. Just commuted home and turned on the local radio to this news: http://wdbo.com/localnews/2009/02/plane-crash-in-volusia-takes-t.html I went to the open house when they...

    Eagle ERJ Gear @ JFK 12/20

    Here's What's Coming @ Comair

    In light of the recent threads on "morning reports," and "9e diversions," I thought add to the genre and I'd show what's coming for Comair and most of the rest of the industry. http://failblog.org/2008/07/07/weatherman-fail/ C. ome O. n M. y A. ss I. s R. eady! good thing this wasn't a...

    Continental Pilot "Ticketed?"

    ...for turning the wrong way on departure at EWR? Check out the news video on the CBS affiliate site and listen to the reporter and watch the silly animation. Aviation reporting at its best :erm: http://wcbstv.com/seenon/newark.liberty.airport.2.730774.html

    Bend Over C.O.M.A.I.R!

    1. Jan 7 upgrade class pushed to maybe April sometime, with a possible slide into March. 2. Future vacancies questionable before April/May time-frame. Depends on attrition (32/mo now) and pending block-hour reduction. 3. Suspending hiring for 3 or more months. 4. 4000 hours reduction for us...

    TSA's the problem, not us!

    So, what will the TSA geniuses do to fix themselves!? The Dog-and-Pony Show regarding us and the ridiculous new knee-jerk screening procedures has to stop. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=local&id=5142882 copy: LOS ANGELES, Mar. 22, 2007 - Misdemeanor theft cases are being filed...

    Skywest FA makes Guy Pi$$ his Pants

    http://www.sltrib.com/ci_5453315 For God's sake, if the light is out, give the poor fella a flashlight! The CRJ's glorified outhouse is usable under most all conditions. You can manually flush it for Pete's sake by poking open the darned flapper. Yes, defer it if you must, but 'emergency...

    Bob Hope vs Maynard Jackson..who pay$4it

    Burbank was just renamed Bob Hope today, and in typical class as Bob would want it, all the money it's taking to effect the name change was raised by private donations. Contrast that to how Jackson's name was force-tacked onto Hartsfield's and tax dollars were the means to do so! Go Bob!

    Air Marshall, Not the Job it Used 2B

    This caught my eye yesterday while non-revving my way to YUL. Seems like the job isn't quite what it was advertised to be. It's being "dumbed down." They removed the firearm marksman exam from the qualification process because too many were failing it! Quick, get those Kevlar (tm) cockpit...

    Jay Leno's "AW Pilots Gone Wild!"

    Anybody catch that skit Thurs night? It was funny, but sad. A beer tap on the pedestal! I wish I had it on Tivo to post it temporarily for those that didn't catch it. "The Man Show" skit still rules, though.

We just had one heluva thunderstorm...had to be at least level 5...in the Longwood/Lake Mary/Sanford part of Central...
