    Close KLEX!

    Why stop at closing runway 26? I can guarantee KLEX will never have another accident if they close the entire airport. I think the Kentucky Governor is onto something here. We should close all short runways at all airports where there is 121 service. It's the only way to be sure. You...

    Cal 777-fo

    Hey all, this is a long shot (on multiple fronts) but does anyone know a CAL FO named Roger Hicks? If you do could you please PM me any info. I would greatly appreciate it! I've checked the pilot database but to no avail... perhaps he moved. He may also be recently retired. Thanks!

    Skywest ORD

    I know this has been asked before, just looking for any updates on hiring at Skywest and the ORD base. What are the chances of getting ORD based if hired in the next 6 months? How long are pilots on reserve given the current hiring environment? Thanks!

    I lost a friend today...

    Hi, I've read tributes to fallen pilots on here before... I never thought I'd be writing one. This morning a 402 crashed in Denton, TX. A good friend of mine was flying that plane. He frequented this board for advice on an interview he had recently. You hear people say how good someone was...

    Airline Stocks

    Anyone a buyer at these levels? Holy cow there seem to be some bargains. U for 44 cents, UAL 2.50 and you could have had it for less than 2 earlier. 25% return in one day isn't bad. AMR for 8.50. There has to be some easy doubles in the airline group. take care, good luck.
