Since we can vote for changes to the pilot "agreement" can we also vote RH off the island? I don't know what they're feeding him at the Waterview but it must be some funky $hit.
First it was "if you like your sick days you can keep your sick days", followed very shortly by "hey your sick days...
Shameless rumor to follow...
NJA management is/going to use the recent aircraft orders to gain concessions from the pilots. No concessions = order cancellations. What say you?!
Lifted this flightplan from an AAL flt from BOS to LAX: MHT SYR BUF J16 BAE KP75C BFF J157 LAR KD57Q HEC CIVET5. I've seen fixes like this on enroute charts (labeled x), typically at a bend in an airway, but had no idea you could file them since they're technically not intersections. Do they...
Saw this gem in the FAA accident prelims today. Could this be the end of a certain problem-causing pilot's career at Amflight? Talk amongst yourselves.

I'm looking at jumpseating SWA tomorrow (10/14) from MDW to IND. Non-rev line says flight looks good, just wondering if there might be any weight restrictions with the short runways and all. I know it's a short hop, just want to be sure. Thanks much.
Has anyone elso noticed that 135.89 paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) refer to altitudes of 25,000 and 35,000 feet as MSL? Part 91.211 correctly states these altitudes as Flight Levels. I checked both the FAA.gov eCFR page and the current ASA FAR/AIM and they both say the same thing. Whose job is...
I'm curious how people here have/would answer the situational questions NetJets asks during the interview. For example: 1) You take off with owner A and are picking up owner B at dest, owner A wants to go back for left item, what do you do? 2) You're enroute on a transcon, owner wants to make...
I know there have been questions about shoes in the past, but the new search engine sucks and I haven't been able to find any of them. What are you people out there wearing these days? I'm looking for something that would work for both an interview and out on the line flying. I like the...
It's been a month now since I received the application acceptance email from Derinda. Has anyone in this time frame gotten an interview date yet? I know they've been busy with the job fairs and training backlog and whatnot, just wondering if a quick email to get a status update would be out of...
I found this on fracpilot.com. It's copied from a letter to the FAA regarding 121 required rest and interruptions by air carriers.
"The FAA has consistently stated through legal interpretations that “rest” under the Federal Aviation Regulations is (1) a continuous period of time; (2)...
Since Southwest allows you to credit an unused ticket toward future flights has anyone bought a ticket and then tried to jumpseat if there are open seats to save money? Would this be considered taboo by the gate agents and more work for them or would they mind? I'm considering trying to...
I've seen these ads for Claroxan in Flying magazine and am wondering if anyone here has tried it. After having some trouble with the 20/20 line during my medical last month I'm concerned about preserving my eyesight. Stuff ain't cheap, bout 50 bills for a month's supply. Might be worth it...
How is it aviation companies can do this? I'm a "reserve" pilot at my base. We are paid the standard 8hrs/day, 40hrs/week; however our duty periods are 12 hours. Last week I sat reserve for 60 hours but was only paid 40 per our employee handbook. How many companies in other fields can...
Anyone have any experience with the charter side of Jimsair in San Diego? I'd like to move back to SD if I can find a decent corporate gig. Pay, benefits, upgrade to jet capt, working conditions, etc. Appreciate the info. Currently flying 135 in a BE99, but still low on the turbine totem...
Question. My company uses center-stored flight plans, so of course there is no alternate filed there. While 135 doesn't require the filing of an alternate (it only lists the fuel requirements), 91.169 does require it for any IFR flt plan unless the wx is above alt req's. I have not, nor have...
