Facts are Facts as you say. Get your's straight. Let's compare Apples to Apples please. We are talking about an EMB145 Type ride v. an F/O check. A completely different checkride and grading standard. In my class, 4 busted types (2 flowbacks and 2 eagle upgrades). We had 2 new hires bust...
Current SWA guys. What do you like most and least about working there.
Hopefuls, why do you want to work there?
Please no "they are about the only ones hiring" type comments, that's a given.
Thanks
Bumper stickers I would like to see on the back of a Viper
1.) "We came, we saw, we BINGO'd"
2.) "We cover the Target like a Thong Bikini"
3.) This vehicle makes frequent stops
4.) Mach Nix
5.) Lean mean, Flameout Machine
6.) Everything you wanted in a Fighter and Less.
I remember...
This group of AA pilots were furloughed in May 2003 thru August 2003. They are all junior to the latest batch of flowbacks furloughed in Mar 2004. AA would have to recall well over 1000 pilots to reach the 5/03-8/03 furloughed pilots. They will be at Eagle for a while. They will be the most...
AA Just replaced all 757 to LGA with 737. More than 200 seats a day are gone. Yes there are quite a few commuters. Sometimes the flights are 1/2 full. I have also not been able to get home for 3 days before. Commuting sux but what can you do.
Jim I'm going to have to agree with furloughboy on this one, but it is all really a question of Tactics.
I loved the Rhino and knew her capabilities well. As far as a close in fight, it was never going to happen. Again, Tactics. We would NEVER turn with a Mig-21,F-5,F-16, or Scooter, ect...
Just get over it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have all been round and round about all of this before and everyone I know except xTWA guys are tired of hearing about it. My buds and your ALAP brothers at DAL, NWA, UAL, CO are tired of hearing about it. Just keep using the furloughed pilot loan fund...
American
On 6/01/03 there will be 1288 pilots on furlough with 283 more announced for 7/01/03. Another 2000-2200 will be furloughed before 6/01/04 to include me. The most senior pilot hired at American Airlines (assuming that all xTWA pilots were hired at American Airlines in April 2001) with...
You are sadly mistaken. There are only parts of the contract that are "FM"able. SCOPE is not one of them. The no furlough clause in the AA/TWA LLC Transition agreement is. So yes we will probably furlough another big chunck of our guys when we go into Iraq. What do you think will happen to...
Hate to be a bubble buster here, but the one thing that most of these post disregard is that fact that APA is currently in the middle of Sec 6 negotiations. IMHO there will not be a TOTAL recall until a new contract is sign. AMR has a history of holding furloughees hostage as a bargaining tool...
Just an example of AFORMS errors. My all time favorite Logbook entry was the 91 hours of nite flying time I logged on one sortie (1.3hr sortie durration). I caught the error in the monthly printout but didn't say a word. Wasn't removed by the flight records folks for 6 months.
Keep a Logbook, I...
TWA Dude:
Hey you are right, wrong place, wrong time and my post has been edited accordingly, sorry I struck a nerve. I would be happy to discuss this with you any place and any time, but here is not the right thread.

I really hate to be the bearer of bad tidings (this being the Christmas season and all), but the last time this happened in 93', everyone started from scratch. I know a Squadron-mate of mine that got the exact same shaft. Sorry guys, but expecting AMR to do the right thing is like UBL eating a...
I have to agree with Eagleflip. For me, flying fighters was daily the most fun I ever had with my pants on. That being said, it was also some of the hardest work I ever did (both physically and mentally)
I am often asked the difference between military v civilian flying. I am not going to get...
My best advice after interviewing at 4 majors (I batted .750) and intel debriefs from 25+ of my buds is "when in doubt (conversion factor or SIC v. PIC ect..) don't do it". It isn't worth the hassle for a few hundred hours. It took 20 min. for me to explain to the UAL HR chick why I counted 20...
