remember BI in 2000

Years ending in 8 are good years to find a flying job, years ending in 3 are bad years to find a flying job. The ramp up for the hiring peak in November of 2008, will start in June of 2007. All the signs are out there.

That is unless ALPA gets the Age 60 Rule abolished, then everything will slide 5 years... So years ending in 3 will be good years to get hired and years ending in 8 will be bad years... But then the industry will be out of sync with the economy...

The ramp up for the hiring peak in November of 2008, will start in June of 2007. All the signs are out there.

Now waaiitt one minute Mister!!! I have you penned in on my calendar as saying "THE Hiring Boom" is going to be June 2007... Sounds like you are trying to slide it 17 months!!!

Heavy,

We have GPS (enroute only) in all our Falcons but one... So no, not too much map reading.


Unless things have changed recently only 4 are equipped with actual enroute certified GPS's. I guess they didn't cover that in IOE.

Boom starts in 2007, but peaks in 2008

The delta X/delta y ratio will achieve its maximum rate of change in June of 2007, but much like an airplane climbing a 10K per minute, it does not reach its maiximum altitude until sometime after the climb has started. hiring will peak in November of 2008. This is of course assuming that ALPA takes in excess of 84 months to find out if the pilots turning 53 this year can work in the year 2011

817AA I should clarify. All the Falcons but one have a GPS in them. Youre right only 4-5 are certified for enroute ops. With the others you have to ask for a "heading direct XYZ when able". And further, a captain has to have a GPS Enroute check out from a check airman... Point is, only one Falcon is a pain in a$$.

happy?

GPS in the works

As soon as all the DA-20's are RVSMed, TCASed, and TAWSed, they will be GPSed. At the present time all of our DA-20's have glass cockpits, just like the DC-3 and B-17, every dial have a glass lens covering the actual gauage.

How hard can an enroute GPS check be?
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

Yeah right - I heard that the Falcons were getting GPSs for years - at first it was when they have a C-check, then it was when we aren't so busy, then we were weren't busy, it was we don't have the money. Fact is, the company doesn't see the need.

Why would the company spend money on TCAS and TWAS when it is not needed? Sounds unlikely that you'll see any cargo DA20 with that equipment.

Hey N817AA is parked! Its inop.. N826AA is the best plane at USA Jet.

 

[Xfr8dog]

Ride the Wind, yeah it was like that... I just happened to fly with one and he was like "Oh you havent gotten that yet? um. Yeah, that was your check out" It was a joke.


IaFlyer, yea the company doesnt see the need and neither do the pilots... as long as the thing is in there and works who really gives a dammn? Sure I'm using the VORs to navigate! Really I am! Come on man! you used to work here!

PilotYIP- "As soon as all the DA-20's are RVSMed, TCASed, and TAWSed, they will be GPSed."

It is kinda hard to detect humor without tonality and inflection isn't it Wiggums?

(P.S. the RVSM thing is actually happening! That wasn't a funny! I'm SERIOUS! no really! gah, forget it.)

 

[pilotyip]

xfr8dog what did I hear about you?

I here you made a 340 KT pass at 300' AGL by the YIP tower back in July. Any truth to that?

 

[Xfr8dog]

LIES!

The overspeed horn started to go off so it must have been more than 350.... at least for a few seconds!

 

[Xfr8dog]

Now what was this thread about? Oh yea, hiring!


Come on folks APPLY! I dont like flying in the right seat anymore.... we need more FO's!
