Some of the scope I hearedVirgin America

Keep in mind that Ornstein used to work with Branson. Johnny is moving all aircraft off of the Freedom certificate and will have that ready for anything. He'd also be willing to cash in all of his Mesa stock (price gets higher every day) and leave with the F8 cert.

Plenty of rumors about this at the Mesa Shack.

JetBlue had about 470 million in revenue for the first 2 quarters with our grouth rate JetBlue should make major status early in the 4th quarter.

What is a 737NG type?
Mine was in the -800 , but the licence mentions nothing about type.
(we do get a -circle-to-land VMC only- restriction ,though,
supposedly since we don't circle below 1000-3 in the sim)

 

[tiktak]

after jaa, caa and casa
it is a different type
I know faa says is common, but hiring boards differentiate.
Insurance.
If you are typed in a 200, to fly a classic or NG you got to recive differential training.
Guess it is for them to save money.

737NG type

On an FAA certificate, you don't differentiate according to model (on the license itself). Does not matter whether you do your type on a 737-200 Juraissic, 737-300/400/500 Classic or the NG 600/700/800/900 - you only ever see "B737" on your certificate.

On an EU/JAR license you will see the specific make and model or groups of model like classic, NG specifically mentioned.

No matter which license you hold you will have to do a differences course.

If RB chooses the 737NG, I'm ready, able and willing with 737 classic and NG types plus hours on both. Where do I sign?

I love to se Virgin here!

I dont know about anyone else, but US aviation needs some fresh ideas here!

Virgins are welcome and lets hope they bring lots of jobs for pilots and mechanics, and Flight Attendants and etc...

They need to use FAA licenced pilots. Salary what they are planning to pay can't be any worse than what is paid now by many carriers here in USA!

And someone says US pilots don't fly cheap, that is already proved wrong. Pilots are the worst, as long as they can fly they sleep in crash pads, they steel hotel items to survive and who is able lives with they family or relatives to be able to fly!

I believe that Virgin will bring great new competition in to markets and they dont have to worry about finding pilots, there will be thousands lined up with resumes, when they start hiring!

It is great that people in this forum has unique information and ideas, one can just hope that , we as an member of this site would not be so critics about others comments. Do you really think that your ideas is better than mine!

Why can't these 3 to 5 year contract workers unionize??

 

[yaks]

Why can't they unionize

Typically employment contracts contain onerous stipulations to protect the employer. That would undoubtedly be one of the stipulations which would result in termination of the employee. Employment contracts are to protect the employer from anything they perceive as a threat (ie unionization) and screw the employee. They should not be entered into lightly and in this business, not entered into at all.

I am sure there would be a long line of plaintiff attorneys waiting in the wings if they try to prevent a union by osmething so ridiculousy obvious.
