I'm doing the hotel thing in Chicago sitting CA reserve. Only once have I had to buy an extra night in the hotel because they didn't use me. In October I got displaced to BWI so the company will pay for my hotel room for two nights of my reserve block if they don't use me. They'll pay up to...
This is my one and only input on this whole integration. I've jumpseated numerous times on Air Tran while chasing the captain seat. All the crews have been professional and welcoming. We'll have no problem flying together and I look forward to getting this whole process behind us.
OK, haven't posted in a while, but here's some advice. For all my military brethren out there, if SWA or Air Tran calls and offers you a class date, take it. I don't care if your Wing CC says life on earth will end as we know it if you get out, leave, right then. The wrong decision here could...
I just flew with my family to England from Dulles roundtrip. I did not jumpseat, but I easily could have. There were seats available on both flights. If you sign up for their newsletter they will send you an email when they have a fare sale. I paid $3300 total for myself, my wife, and my...
I don't know if flightinfo has the capability to create an area exclusively for Jetblue pilots, but I know Pprune . org does. Southwest has an active room over on PPrune and it allows for a "free flow" of ideas without all the comments from the peanut gallery. It would probably be a good idea...
I can't speak for others but the PASS cards have gotten me through three check rides. Every question I've been asked by a check airman has been covered by the cards. They are the only thing I use to study for a check ride. John Pansmith is also real good about keeping them up to date.
If your goal is to fly for an airline it's a no brainer. Just ask yourself where you're going to get the most PIC turbine time. That will make you competitive at any airline. I would not be at SWA if it weren't for the three fun filled years I spent in Del Rio, TX. Instructing has it's...
Ouch, there goes my reason for picking up that turn with a check airman on Apr 12th. Good luck with your IOE. The best piece of advice I can give is this. If a camera shows up during the overnight it's time to leave.
PHILADELPHIA, March 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV - News) today announced a major expansion of its soon-to-begin service to and from Philadelphia International Airport.
Today, during his address before the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, Southwest Chairman...
Disclaimer: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a helicopter pilot.
No one has mentioned the best part about flying helos in the Air Force, it's a kick @ss mission. Most of the flying is done very low, and relatively fast, at night. You also have a better chance of doing real world stuff...
It's very easy to get more than your guarantee. You can pick up extra trips through Monthly Open Time, Daily Open Time, Extra Fly lists and Voluntary Junior Assist. You can also pick up trips that other pilots are giving away.
I live in domicile and I've averaged 113 trips a month. Last month...
