Does anyone know when 00461 at Westover is going to Wright-Patt? I've heard sometime this month, but not sure of the date. Think they'll take Space As?
Jump to postThey don't do all of that in the states. The interviews, performance reviews, etc all take place in the new hire selection process and probation period. The idea is that they're hiring future captains from the start; if they don't believe you'd hack it in the left seat, they don't hire you in the fi...
Jump to postCASS is a security-sensitive subject. Ask your employer for the information you require. Nobody with knowledge on how to access cockpit jumpseats should post such knowledge on a public forum. If your employer can't provide the answers, then you're probably not eligible.
Jump to postSomebody please give me a logical argument (not necessarily a legal one) why Delta should not be allowed to operate a handful of flights to Love Field?
Jump to postSorry if it's already posted, but I couldn't find it. Just read on cnn.com that there is no longer the option of "opting out" from the body scanner. They can now direct you to go through the advanced imaging technology whether you want to or not. I figured we'd get to this point eventually. They jus...
Jump to postI'm trying to determine whether or not a ticket I purchased from Delta is refundable. I selected "refundable tickets only" during the web search, but I'm reading through the fare rules and can't tell exactly where it says whether or not the ticket is refundable. It's an 'H' fare. Can anyone point me...
Jump to postA pilot will instinctively execute a go-around within milliseconds of being commanded by ATC to do so. It really is too late by the time he said "just kidding". Now, should he be fired? We're all spring loaded to throw people under the bus these days, but I wouldn't necessarily go that far. He defin...
Jump to postMostly minor differences in phraseology. For example, in Europe you hear "When ready, descend flight level 200" where in the states you'd hear "Descend at pilot's discretion, maintain flight level 200". Over the UK, I hear a lot more "maintain present heading; report heading to London Control on XXX...
Jump to postNo. The object of that plane is to teach people how to fly, not how to manage automation. That comes later.
Jump to postIf anyone is interested, 80219 was just sent to DMA a couple of days ago.

Jump to postI have a question about the New York Center NOTAM A0017/13 pertaining to new procedures for obtaining an oceanic clearance for eastbound flights entering the New York OCA. It starts off by stating the procedure for getting the oceanic clearance changed on Feb. 5 so that now an ATC clearance on the g...

Jump to postAirlines are in business to make money. They're only willing to be as "safe" as required to keep the FAA off their backs and avoid costly lawsuits. It's impossible to be 100% safe, because the 100% safe solution is to not fly at all, ever. That's where risk management comes into play, which is why t...
Jump to postI'm not trying to give this crew a pass, but the AMP design didn't set them up for success either. In a legacy airplane, this would have never happened because the tape instruments are too intuitive and unmistakable. In the AMP, the engine instruments were difficult to interpret and it wasn't readil...
Jump to postI wonder if TACC is as anal about extra fuel loads for AF1 as they are for everyone else!
Jump to postI've bought a couple tickets on Ryanair for around 20 Euro each, so it can be a great way to get from point A to point B if you don't care about frills.

Jump to postThe FAA has proposed a rule that would require all pilots employed by a Part 121 carrier possess an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, or otherwise meet the aeronautical experience requirements of an ATP.

Jump to postFrom a physiological standpoint, FL250 is as high as you'd ever want to go unpressurized.
Jump to postI'm not really sure what you're asking. All these parameters really depend on what you're trying to build. I assume what you, or anyone else designing a new airliner, are trying to do is reduce a customer's cost per seat-mile compared with the aircraft currently on the market serving those cities. A...
Jump to postMost airlines allow you to talk on your cell phone as soon as you're clear of the active runway.

Jump to post61.39(b)(2) allows one to use an expired ATP written test report to take the practical test for the ATP, provided you are a military pilot who completed the PIC qualification program in an aircraft appropriate to the rating sought.

Jump to postYou can probably guess what I'm going to ask by the thread title. I'm studying to take the ATP written (again) because I figured I'd actually get the ticket this time rather than let the written expire. I'm trying to remember all the different fuel reserve requirements that apply to flag, domestic, ...
Jump to postoh, and you get good catering served onboard as opposed to the shopette runs you're used to. Wake up a couple hours before takeoff, no more 4+15 alerts!
Jump to postIt's not a whole lot different than flying Fred, except that the crews are much smaller, the jets are much more reliable and keep moving (i.e. when you land somewhere, another crew meets the airplane and keeps going, your plane doesn't enter crew rest with you), because it's all about the $$$$$!
