    ILS GS interference

    Given a post in the MU-2 review topic, I thought I'd throw this one out there. http://forums.flightinfo.com/showpost.php?p=711946&postcount=12 "As an aside, according to news reports last night, the more recent MU-2 crash here may have been the fault of spurious GS signals on the ILS 35R at...

    Too late for ATC Career?

    Okay, I've been considering ATC. I've been really impressed on previous tours of towers and would love to do this as well. (actually, I'd love a center position) My first love is flying, but I can definitely live with flying for fun rather than a career. Heck, communicating to me during flight...

    Public Perception

    I was just arguing with two business men on the train to my finance job about the airlines. We started on the fact that United Exec's got millions in bonuses. I stayed out until one of them started saying how pilots are overpaid glorified bus-drivers. I couldn't believe how long it took me to...
