    Fractional vs. owned aircraft, pros and cons

    Having had them all, it really boils down to personal preferences. I think wealthy individuals may prefer ownership. This all assumes the need although I have 3 people now with older Gulfstreams that don't fly 200 hours a year. They want the comfort of knowing the crew, leaving their stuff on...

    Turkish Airline 737 Crash in AMS

    Today they are saying it was an altimeter problem mis-informing the auto pilot which led to engines being pulled back. Crew realized to late in game that the speed was wrong and too late for recovery.

    AIR, Inc Ceasing Operations.

    Kit and AEPS were the pioneers in some of the job sites and information of the day. UPAS, an ALPA creation, and others could not sustain the ups and downs of the market. Kit relied on the pilots to pay much of the cost, AEPS, the airlines, and at one time or the other they were both down and...

    Colgan 3407 Down in Buffalo

    There was some questions related to when the stick shaker went off, auto pilot knocked off, and we had the nose down turn, what would the pilot have done? Did he rapidly pull back at that point somehow leading to the flat type spin that seems to be the way it went in. Another thing is the...

    Colgan 3407 Down in Buffalo

    Being the media, there are some protocols of today that are going to be there and in the new world required speed to get something up, there are going to be mistakes. First, you will always find a -this is not terrorism statement. Second, you will see the aircraft and history of it and the...

    Ground the Q400

    First, we do not even know if the boots and systems worked correctly. Secondly, somewhere in reporting it mentioned that the crew was noticing this at 11,000 feet. We do not know whether they discussed any actions at this time. Thirdly, how many times is it the aircraft? Not many. This is sad...

    Decline in Charter

    Over the last few years, many of these companies built the business by flying for Netjets, Sentient, and other card companies. They had no real clients of their own. Now you add to that all the people looking to now get income to keep the aircraft, you have a glut.

    Luxury Jet Company Officials Criminally Charged

    I did a story on this for NBC. I don't think they even knew the actual weights on the aircraft. There was literally almost nothing right with whole operation. The crew qualifications, the 135, nothing.

    XOJET reports good......

    If you all will remember, it was on another thread where the CEO said it was September when everything just stopped. In addition, The XO model is charter dependent which places them in different situations than say Net or Flex. I believe they offer a fixed payment to the owner who then almost...

    Need advice for teenager pilot

    Good advice from all. The quick schools in my opinion are for the later in life people who may have the time and money and are moving on later in life for a new career. The fire hose approach is better as they do not have the time to teach for years. I have a 20 year old friend who is teaching...

    Statistics on business aircraft identified by arrival and departure information on all IFR flights for December 2007 and compared to December 2008 show a 22.8 percent drop, according to the Aviation Research Group/U.S. Inc., but there may be some surprises. The data includes both Alaska and...

    Any Bets....

    We as much as anything are going through a re-evaluation of values. For some time, real estate holdings have been enveloped in a bubble that was sure to have problems. The market went up enthusiastically based on products many did not understand. Now we are faced with the sobering burst of...

    Flops stops matching 401k contributions . . .

    Literally everything here relates to the timeframe to get the country back on a positive economic outlook, the change of perspective necessary. If it takes a year, FLOPS will have trouble making it.

    US Air type in the Hudson?????????

    Every once in awhile, someone is called upon to do something heroic. They did not seek it, they merely found themselves in a position where their expertise, their focus, their strength, would be called upon to impact others they did not even know. This crew was so called and did what was called...
