Mainline airline pilot hiring to increase
Well in 2001 it WAS a few years off......the the FAA and ALPA put us in a 5 year holding pattern. -

LCAL hiring mins?
Yeah its funny. A friend of mine met him once while playing in another band and said he was that guy who walked into every conversation without invitation and tried to dominate it. After watching his spoken word stuff, it makes sense. Jello does it better. Back to aviation. Southwest didnt... -
LCAL hiring mins?
I walked out of that interview KNOWING I got the job, when I didn't it hit hard......until like 20 of my friends went and interviewed (All good guys and fun, Southwest type folk) and ALL got turned down while the military people got hired. Then they stopped hiring for a year and they started... -
LCAL hiring mins?
Nope....I signed up to get ready to finish with Utah Valley University and my wife, who HAD ulcerative colitis, colon ruptured in two places one fine evening. That was a rush to an NYC hospital for the next 3 months and in and out of the hosipital for the next year....WHICH sunk us with medical... -
LCAL hiring mins?
Thanks man...I remain hopeful. The future looks promising. -
LCAL hiring mins?
No degree was definatly the reason they said no. I had friends who were involved in hiring, two of which were my former chief pilots. Looking back? I don't look back, only forward. -

LCAL hiring mins?
From the time they started hiring last time (After the flowback pilots went back from Expressjet, the last of the flow throughs and the preferential Expressjet interviews....05 or 06 I think) til the time they furloughed 150 guys in like 08 or so. My years might be slightly off as they are... -
LCAL hiring mins?
During the last round of hiring, NONE were hired without a college degree. Before the last round of hiring there were plenty of people hired without a college degree. I know because I came VERY highly recommended by MANY people in the right places and I could not get an interview without a... -
JetBlue CEO on pilot’s mid-air meltdown: ‘It started medical, but clearly wasn’t’
The First Officer should be commended for his actions. He very well may have saved over a hundred peoples lives. Who knows what would have happened if the Captain was allowed to stay at the controls while his breakdown progressed. The Captain clearly had an emotional breakdown of some kind. I... -
US Air "Thanks but no Thanks" email
No he's right.....if "why the fock would anyone go to UsAirways" crosses your mind, please don't apply. Delta's right around the corner. -
Turbine time for major airlines
Incorrect...Untied did not require a degree last time they hired. Delta does, Fedex does....thats about it. -

Majors buying regionals in future
Ok, I googled it....it's ok. Thats a legal word. Whew! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_%22niggardly%22 -
Majors buying regionals in future
I'll give you that AT the regional level....but thats going to happen. Look at the guys who were hired into DC3's flying dots and dashes vs people hired into 707's flying VOR airways and ILS approaches vs EMB190 flying RNAV.....who knows what kind of laziness the next generation of technology... -
Majors buying regionals in future
Easy way to the majors? In the history of aviation this regional stuff and getting stuck at one is a new thing. Before the 90's, when major airlines started buying small feeder operations that eventually GREW into these 50 seat airlines we have today, pilots used to from a Baron flying checks... -
Question for AA Pilots
I remember forgetting to lock the door (more like a divider in the E145) and jumping when I realized the FA just walked in and was standing over me with snacks and stuff. They've re-enforced the doors now but I used to use my blockbuster card to open the door if Mx accidently locked it the night... -
Question for AA Pilots
There's a quick and dirty answer....9/11 pilots for truth are wacknuts. There was no inside job, Al-Qaeda got one over on us as advertised. Now the government dropped the ball in not catching these guys before hand, especially with the warnings that were going on all summer in 01.....but as for... -
