Manning Tool
I think you'll know for sure that stop loss is a maning tool when the following happens...
they start granting more waivers on a case by case basis.
This way they don't have to drop stop loss totally, can let some guys go and continue to train. When their numbers come up, they'll...
Eagleflip
Albie,
I concur.
As a matter of fact I think I saw him trying on Captains Jackets in the pilot lounge today... something about there aren't enough stripes or ... no wait... he wanted to put gold and red stars on the left sleeve.... then he rushed off to buy a new car... Porsche I...
UAL
UAL Express, I think you misunderstood my coment about United. I wasn't referring to their size or manpower, I was referring to there status. They will probably NEVER be te airline they were 5-6 years ago. The travelling public won't alow that to happen. I wish they could become wha thy...
I agree
Publisher, I have to agree with you on this one. United is far from out of trouble. They still aren't generating enough revenue to break even and on top of that they are going to need concessions across the board to come back to their previous state. I don't think we'll see the United...
Mud Eagle
I'm retired,
Since last year, If there was a good reserve unit around flying either jet, I would be there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately there aren't that many around.... I suppose I could always go fly tankers. But, maybe I'll wait until the 767 comes on board...
By the way, I flown...
P3-Adub,
I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest.. There are a lot of corporate pilots making excellent pay however, they didn't start off that way.
My point is that there are indeed a lot of out of work pilots that can fill the billet and Avolar knows this. It would be hard for them to...
So you're counting all the Israeli kills in your post of 104 to zero?? Typical of an ExNav, I have my **CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED****CENSORED** straight brother, done both and know what the real deal is... If you want to tool around (no pun intended) in an FB-15 Then by all means go...
pay scales
You honestly beleive that UAL/Avolar won't try and come down on the pay scale with the economy and the industry the way it is?? Not to mention the fact that they are hurting for money? I don't think you'll be seein 9K for Capt's or 6K for FO's at all. You might see 6K for Capt and...
FB-15
First, why would you want to be down low at night to begin with?? Second, the Viper does everything the FB-15 does at the cost of only one crewmember.
I can't wait until the EF-15 comes on line, then you mud-eagle boys and girls will have something to squawk about won't you??
You folks are directing your energies in the wrong direction.
Your complaint shouldn't be with the PFTer's but with Gulfstream.
I know plenty of guys that flew 135 for next to nothing, washed airplanes at their company in exchange for sitting in the right seat to log time, and eventually...
Here are the regs from the FAA site. Basically you can instruct in any aircraft that you are typed and rated in and only in the field of Air Transportation Service. What does this mean? It means that as an ATP it gives your company the option of making you a ground or flight instructor for the...
I was in a class of 6 at Midway who were told they were financially stable too...... $ 16 million a day is about right for the size of airline they are....
Here are the references I got right off the FAA website.
§ 61.23 Medical certificates: Requirement and duration.
(a) Operations requiring a medical certificate. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, a person:
(1) Must hold a first-class medical certificate when exercising...
Confused..
I think some of you are confused about the airline industry and low payscales... The industry as a whole isn't going to be damaged by pilots paying for training, or paying to get their flight time with a company. The payscales are the way they are because that is what the economy...
Flipper I'm Sorry!!!
Flipper, I'm sorry. What was I thinking? It must have been the oxygen deprivation from flying U-2's.. Okay, I got another shot from the bottle (Thanks Grandma) and now I'm seeing things clearly..... Now can I have that list of nightclubs and restaurants in Miami????
Eagles Vs. Vipers
BJJ,
Having flown both I'll try and give you a fair assessment of which one I preferred. In my experience, the Viper was the most "fun" and capable fighter to fly. (Sorry Flipper...but it is just personal preference). My reasons were that it can literally turn up it's own...
