O.K., I have job offers from Southwest AND Delta. What a predicament!! For one, I could care less where I'm based; I'll be a commuter for life. Two, Southwest guys aren't reqired to wear hats. I like that a lot about them.
I've done lots of research on both. Seriously, it's gonna be hard...
After reading the article in this month's ALPA magazine, Operations in Conditions of Light Ice Pellets or Light Snow Pellets, I asked myslef these simple questions: what is the difference between a snow pellet and a snow grain? What is the difference between freezing drizzle and ice pellets...
I've read on some of the gouge sites that jetBlue has been known to ask questions about the "Continuous Improvement Process." Does anyone know what this is and what they're getting at? I've got to come up with and answer by Friday ;). Help would be greatly appreciated!
I saw this link posted on one of the other boards, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/airlinepilotcontracts/ . Maybe you could help out by uploading your company's pilot contract. I think the gist of the site is so prospective new hires can check out various airline's labor deals.
What's your opinion? I was wondering if y'all think a potential employer would be interested in knowing about any leadership positions held within a union or committee work such as Safety or Professional Standards.
A good friend of mine who is a pilot at ExpressJet told me they're going to pickett IAH during the Super Bowl weekend. He said that negotiations between ALPA and managemnet have taken a turn for the worse. If anyone knows if they're going to allow pilots from other airlines to join in, post...

I was thinking about this after my last PC, what is the likely-hood of actually having an engine fail during a critical phase of flight, i.e., after V1 and before acceleration height? I'm talking about professionally maintained, transport category, turbine powered aircraft here. My question...

I've noticed some Continental Express EMB-145s have winglets, strakes, and some type of fin on the bottom between the wings. What is all of that stuff and why have I only seen them on the COEX 145s? Is it some type of mod that makes it burn less gas?

ATC: "...descend and maintain 3,000 until established on the localizer, cleared for the ILS 36L approach."
This is easy enough, right? Stay at 3,000 feet and pick up the glideslope and fly it down. But what if the published glideslope intercept altitude is 2,200? Should you descend to that...
You may say it's none of my business. I don't even fly for Mesa. Why am I concerned? MESA'S TA, if approved, WILL LOWER THE BAR FOR ALL SMALL JET CARRIERS OUT THERE. Jonathan Ornstein will take over the world with minimum wage pilots if we let him.
