    XJT pay concessions pass easily

    This is how it should've been worded: Logic will not be tolerated NEWSOUTH....You must blindly follow Skywest mgmt of (sic) the cliff....Now put on your Skywest lanyard and pin....read your Skywest mgmt propoganda release....and trust Jerry to make things right....

    For God Sakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I suppose as long as it says "Bombardier" or "Embraer" then it doesn't deserve a mainline payscale. So they'll just keep stretching them.

    $105 Oil

    While they could quickly shut down the Straights of Hormuz they know they couldn't keep it shut down for long. It wouldn't be just a US military response at that point. Oil's a global commodity. Where we get it isn't so important in the big pictures as the percent of world production each...

    xjt furlough I saw it coming

    At least you think it's sad, rather than all those reveling in the significant problems and company that's been good to its employees is having. The fact is XJT met its operational metrics; if it hadn't been for the meteoric rise in the price of fuel XJT branded would be making money. What...

    Final C-133 Flight

    There was a C133 on the field at Anchorage International (Ted Stevens) airport when I was working up there back in 2004. I never saw it fly. The rumor was it would occasionally get a special contract and then the company that owned it would insure it for just the duration of that trip. If I...

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    Oil mogul and corporate raider T. Boone Pickens launched an energy plan and social-networking campaign on Tuesday that calls for replacing Middle Eastern oil with Midwestern wind. The so-called Pickens Plan would exploit the country's "wind corridor" from the Canadian border to West Texas to...

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    Regarding uranium supplies. It's just like any other commodity; as the price increases there will be more "available" because it becomes more economically viable to go after the harder to recover, smaller batches. You're not incorrect in reporting that uranium demand is way up and there needs...

    UAL gets major boost!

    I guess the theory is that if you have lots of creditors then it's in their best interest that you not go out of business. I was hoping the major boost was that their ceo was fired.

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    You didn't provide a rebuttal to my previous post: Just where are these Canadian rigs that are directional drilling underneath ANWAR? My strong suspicion is that you can't back it up because there is no factual evidence. Here's an interestiong point:The Energy Information Administration does...

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    Source? This has as much validity as the Chinese angle drilling off our coasts to steal our oil. I've flown in the Alaska/Canada border Arctic Ocean area, didn't see any oil wells on the Canadian side. Prove me wrong and I'll admit it.

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    T Boone Picken's plan is to replace a percentage of the electrical production from natural gas by using wind power. Thus that natural gas would be available to power cars. Not all cars.

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    More misconceptions. As mentioned before, estimated reserves include all oil, not just economically feasable recovery oil. It also takes a long time to permit, find, test drill, establish production, and bring to market new oil and gas reserves. The oil companies have leases on a lot of areas...

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    You're either a flame baiter or a simpleton. The idea is that you reduce petroleum demand by alternatives and that will leave more oil to be made into JetA. Many city buses run on natural gas. It's not an exotic technology. There is no more cheap, easy to get oil. There is plenty of oil...

    Jet Fuel Prices WILL Be Climbing A LOT, and Soon

    The oil "shortage" of the 70's was a political shortage. Much different than what's going on today.

    Picken's $700 Billion Plan

    You're not going to scare the people in the mideast. The figures of oil reserves being thrown around by neo cons like SWA GUY are total oil. That's the amount of estimated oil if we recovered it all, cost no object. Cost is always an object. If you start looking at economically viable...

    Virgin America Grows

    I'm not in favor of having to buy a type, I think it's retarded. But let's be fair: Let's see, 737 type around 7k, first year pay with full benefits around 45-50k at Southwest. versus... no health insurance for six months (big bucks for COBRA for family pilots, between 4800-7500$) and...

    Whats left of your USAir is worth more than what ALPA did or didn't do for u.

    The pilot profession as a whole will be weakened with the splintering of the US Air people. As a whole, the profession would've been a lot better off if US Air would've gone the way of Eastern, Pan Am, Braniff, etc. If the Easties could put it in perspective they'd realize they are lucky just...
