    Can anyone tell me what new hire training with these two companies is like?

    Family Time?

    I'm curious as to how those of you whom are married, or soon will be, as to how you deal with the time away from home and family? 6 months ago, I was sure that I was on my way to an airline, but then my g/f and I got serious, she's starting her own practice here, and now the idea of being away...

    Best way to send in a resume?

    I'm looking at applying to several regionals, and I'd like some advice on the best way to send in a resume. I've got a friend to walk in my resume at one place, but there are a handful of others I'd like to apply to, but am not sure at the best approach. Most of them seem to have mailing...

    What does it cost the owners to buy into the fractionals?

    I'm curious as to what kind of deals owners are getting in the fractional world right now. What cost to buy in, how much management fee per month, and what cost per hour to fly. As an example, I've read that a 1/4th share of a Beechjet 400A costs $1.5 Million to buy into, $20,000 a month...

    Min altitude during a procedure turn

    I'm having the hardest time finding this, so hopefully someone can help... "What is the altitude margin of error while on a procedure turn during an instrument approach?" I'm not asking in relation to a checkride, rather what is the allowed margin of error in everyday flying, Part 91. Is...

    Hour requirements?

    What hours count toward the minimum requirements to get hired onto the regionals? I ask, because while I've got 500 hours total time, about half of that is in helicopters. I'm curious to know how much this will hurt me when I start looking for work at the regionals in a year or so. Do they...

    Question about being furloughed

    Forgive me if this is a dumb question... If you're furloughed from an airline, can do go work for another airline or in some other flying job while waiting to be recalled? If so, any restrictions on that? It seems that if you're going to be out of work for a year or more, you can't just sit...

    NTSB report up on Monarch Air accident

    Well, it would seem our first thoughts on what happened were not correct. While this is an inital report, it does dispute the first thoughts we all had. http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20030711X01067&key=1 What is interesting it that the bird strike does not appear to have taken out...

    Red Neck Pilots

    You might be a redneck pilot if: • Your stall warning plays Dixie. • You get your pre-flight briefing from the Psychic Hotline. • Your cross country flight plan uses flea markets as checkpoints. • You think sectional charts should show trailer parks. • You've ever used moonshine as Avgas. •...

    Sometimes You Just Gotta Wonder...

    Ed Guthrie was kind enough to provide this link. This has got to be the most amazing NTSB report I've ever read. Link to NTSB Report Just going from the report, it sounds like this is someone who really probably shouldn't have been flying, was in over his head for many years, and it finally...

    What is wrong with the airlines...

    Ok, this is my semi-informed opinion here, so feel free to flame away... It seems to me that the major airlines have missed the boat completely. When airlines first started service, they were a royal affair. Red carpet treatment, only the wealthy and government workers could fly. Back in...

    Deaf, Blind, & Stupid...

    Was out flying yesterday in the 172, beautiful day for crusing around, punching holes in the sky (abit slowly), having a blast. Was flying north near a small, uncontrolled airport passing about 2 miles to the left of it when I see another airplane flying to the South headed right for the...

    multi time building

    Quick question about this... Do low time pilots buy blocks of inexpensive time in a twin to build up that ever important ME time for career advancement? Does $75/hr dry sound like a good rate for a 100 hour block of time in a ME airplane? What about $85/hr dry for a 10 hour block of time? WW
