    Atlanta snowpocalypse 2014

    Ironically, The Weather Channel is headquartered in Atlanta.

    Useful app to determine cloud height

    I don't see how this would be useful for regional airline pilots. Please encourage your friend to develop an app that can predict when the airline a pilot flies for will declare bankruptcy. Now that would be a useful app to have on the flight deck.

    COMAIR Pilots get $31,000 each severance

    It's not $31k...at least for most. It's eleven weeks of pay at one's current rate, plus accrued sick time and accrued vacation time. Unless, of course, someone has been furloughed or on medical leave, then they get nothing.

    Pinnacle CR2 off the taxiway in FOD

    Alpena...lol... I used to fly freight and passenger charters out of that godforsaken place. Every winter Mesaba would take out a taxiway light with a prop. Nearly every day from Novemeber to April I'd have to argue with the idiotic military approach controllers about their burning desire to...

    Leaving the industry completely

    Someone posted this on a Comair-related forum, and I thought it might be helpful to think of some of these things as you prepare your resume.... Don't focus on what you can't do, focus on what you can. Or to put it another way, argue for your limitations and they will become yours. I fly...

    Annoying things your CA/FO does, 2011 version

    The single most valuable post ever made on flightinfo.com...perhaps the entire internet. I had to doublecheck my browser's address bar to verify I was actually on this forum. Thank You Sir.

    Spartan aviation school

    I graduated from there, along with two others from the initial 64 who started with us. I don't know what it's like today, but it was by no means a "rubber-stamp, pilot mill" operation when I was there. Spartan provided a very solid foundation from which to build a career...though it wasn't...

    Video: A380 vs Comair

    Would love to read the CVR transcripts from both aircraft.

    ASA cancelling flights

    Don't worry about the flying going to Comair. They're turning away flying they can't staff, and downgrading Captains to cover attrition among the First Officer ranks - instead of recalling furloughed pilots.

    ASA Short-Term Perfect Attendance Program

    Republic Airways Training Contract

    I thought this was the reason for the abysmal first-year pay? In other words, RAH thinks that they're entitled to not only $15k in wage concessions for the first year of employment, but also a contract for two years?

    '06 Comair Crash - 1 pax fam receives 7.1m award!

    The pilots made an error. There were a number of factors that made that error easier to make than it should have been. Managing distractions is something we all do on a daily basis. At some point every single one of us will reach a point where we cannot keep up with all the distractions, and...

    '06 Comair Crash - 1 pax fam receives 7.1m award!

    I don't believe you're dense, but perhaps you aren't aware of some of the things that were going on at Comair at the time...and again today. The accident, despite all the f'd up things going on that morning at LEX, was ultimately blamed solely on the crew for a sterile cockpit violation...

    '06 Comair Crash - 1 pax fam receives 7.1m award!

    It's cheaper to pay insurance premiums and attorneys than it is to provide employees with enough job security and pay that conversations and concerns about these matters don't play a role in impacting the safety of Delta's customers. The conversation aboard 5191 has occurred, and is still...

    SW/AT deal is dead

    98% of the threads at flightinfo should be deleted, but then what would we be left with?

    General Lee: My NEW Pledge as of 850pm EST......

    This is refreshing to read. Long, long overdue. I have a tough time believing 90% of the posts I read on this board come from people who call themselves professionals.
