    Money, or QOL?

    This is not another one of those, "Is is worth it?", threads. I have searched, and read through several of those. I am posing a different question. I am interested to hear your input. I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong forum. If you were offered a non-flying job, obviously, outside...

    DD-214 Form

    I need a copy of a DD-214 form for a job. I was in the Guard for literally only a few months. I discharged while in basic training, due to an injury. It was considered "entry level separation". I never received a DD-214 from my Guard unit. I work for Northwest Airlines now, and nothing ever...

    Apology

    I want to make a public apology for my post in the Comair Crash thread. I used the wrong word, when I chose to use "negligence". It was inappropriate. Secondly, I want to say that most of my views in that post were meant from the passengers/publics perspective. They were comments, as a NWA...

    Valuable ratings VS. Just more money

    When it comes to getting a pilot slot through Active Duty, or Guard/Reserve, having previous flight time, and some ratings under your belt are a good thing. It only helps your chances. My question is; What ratings are good to get, and help your chances, vs. what ratings are simply burning...

    Compare your pay

    There was a similiar thread to this awhile back comparing SkyWest to ASA. Since there seems to be many inquiries into the pay of the various regionals, lets compare them all. Format: Airline: FO or CA: Year: Hours per month/avg.: Salary: Other benefits/retirement, etc: Maybe this will help...

    Enlisting, Finishing degree, and Commissioning

    I've read about, and heard of those applying for pilot slots from active duty. I was thinking of enlisting, finishing my degree, and then applying for a pilot slot from active duty. This is for the Air Force. Have any of you done this, or know someone who has? Is it harder to get a pilot slot...

    How does pay work when upgrading?

    If someone is a 4th year First Officer, and upgrades to Captain, do they get 4th year Captain pay, or first year Captain pay? Is it time in seat, or time in service?

    I really need some advice.

    I really need some advice from you guys, if you don't mind. A college degree is VERY important, and I plan to get one. I am currently attending college, and working toward that. However, having your ratings, and building flight time is VERY important as well, if you want to become a pilot. It...

    Branches in need of pilots?

    What branches of the military are most in need of pilots? I've heard the Marines are short, and need pilots badly, while the Air Force is much more competitive, and also overmanned. What about the Navy? If you get accepted by the Marines or Navy, what are the chances of flying fixed wing vs...

    Your College Degree.

    For those of you who have a college degree, I have a few questions. 1) What is your degree in? 2) Why did you choose the degree you did? 3) Would you major in the same thing, if you had to do over again? 4) If your answer to #3 is no, than what would you major in? I am just a little confused...

    If I didn't have the bug before...

    I got to sit in the cockpit of a UPS A300 the other day. I probably drooled all over it. If that is not enough to give you the bug, I don't know what else will. So, why do I write this: While sitting in the cockpit, I couldn't help but think of how lucky pilots are. Sure the regionals could...

    Air Force OTS

    I am looking for a little info. for anybody here in the know. I understand that the Air Force is currently not accepting prior service, at least enlisted wise. This could change in the next couple of years, but assuming it doesn't, I have a question. I just enlisted in the Air National...

    College Degrees

    I have always heard that the type of degree one has does not make a difference when it comes to getting a pilot job, whether with an airline, or a corporate flight department. I understand that many pilots, in fact, do not have a college degree at all. I do plan to obtain a college degree, as I...

    Advice/direction from you experienced guys

    I am earning my ratings right now, and still a couple of years away from applying anywhere. But, still I cannot help but get caught up in these boards and looking at job possibilities when the time comes. How many of you currently fly for or have flown for a local charter company? What I mean...

    Regional Upgrade Time

    This has probably been asked many times, but I didn't find any real answers in my search. What is upgrade time currently running with the regionals? 3-4yrs? I realize it is not the same for all, but the majority, or on average....? Just curious.

    Enlisting with guard/reserve?

    What do you, who have done it, or are doing it, think of enlisting with the guard/reserve for the Air Force, Navy or Coast Guard. What is it like, and is it something that you recommend? Thanks.

    Flying for the Air Force

    I have a few questions for any of you Air Force, or other military pilots. I am a current college student. I have become very interested in flying for the Air Force, and have been looking into the AFROTC program. Now, I realize that getting a pilot/navigator slot is not guaranteed, but does...

    Airport Security: Does It Exist?

    You have to ask yourself whether or not airport security actually exists. Just how effective is it? I believe the 20 year old college student has shown us that airport security is still lacking, and on a large scale. It is mind boggling how someone can sneak box cutters, etc. on to two different...

    What we don't see in the news

    This is off topic, but I felt a need to post it! This is what we never see in the news. All we see is the bad. This is also proof that the media controls basically how we view the world and it's people! At Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington, D.C., recently the Sergeant Major of the...

    Customer Service Interview

    I have applied for a customer service position with Continental Express and American Eagle over at the Baton Rouge Metro. Airport. For those who work in customer service for an airline, what is the interview like? What kind of questions do they ask? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
