    IFR over water

    They were certainly landing to the west at VRB the other day. VOR/DME 29L has you at 1800 feet nine miles from shore and the FAF is four miles from the shore with an MDA of 540 feet. Neither one would allow you to glide to the beach without power. So any verdict? Legal or not? Nothing about...

    IFR over water

    The regulation to fly over water on an IFR flight plan requires the aircraft to have certified approved flotation gear on-board UNLESS you are within power-off gliding distance from shore. So ... down here along the coast of Florida, several of the Atlantic airports (Vero Beach, Daytona...

    Great Lakes

    Any thoughts on why Great Lakes is only requiring 500TT to apply while Comair just raised their minimums to 1800TT? I'm guessing they are just keeping their options more open and are hiring the higher time pilots (like everyone else) however they just seem to be in left field when compared to...

    Westwind Flight School (Allegheny)

    I'm not familiar with Westwind however there are reputable flight academies (AKA the Florida pilot factories) out there that send their 500-hour graduates to the right seat of a regional and have been doing so with a fair amount of success for years. Do you think there an animosity among other...

    Eagle Hiring Plans

    Speech was given at a flight academy that has an agreement to send reduced-time pilots to them upon graduation. I wonder why he would say they have 100 currently on furlough if in fact the number is closer to 300. Perhaps he was only counting crew that are still actively waiting to be recalled...

    Eagle Hiring Plans

    I'm sure it is frustrating however it certainly isn't unique to AA. Lots of regionals are currently or are getting ready to hire .... Shuttle America (US Airways), Pinnacle (Northwest), Comair (Delta), ACA (United), etc. I didn't think about it before now but the only majors I know of that are...

    Eagle Hiring Plans

    FYI .... was in the audience for a speech by Eagle's chief pilot recently. He claimed that they still have 100 pilots on furlough and expects the last of those pilots to be recalled by March of 2003. That is of course assuming they all stick around waiting until then, which is unlikely. Only...

    Pinnacle Deal

    Hi Folks .... Wondering if anyone can offer some insight to the "buy-in" deal that I believe Pinnacle is offering to perspective new pilots who do not have the standard minimums they require for new hires. I remember reading in a previous post that they offer something to that extent for $10K...
