FLL-DCA-JFK-PBI jetBlue & Delta A320, A321 & E-175

A few weeks ago I rode in the jumpseat, to do some observation flights during my time off between my checkride and IOE. There is limited options of flights I could do down in Florida. Some of my family happened to be going to Washington, DC. I decided to go up and meet them for the weekend. One of m...

Re: Phoenix Sky Harbor: US Airways & American A321, 757-200 & 737-800

Thanks for this review. I love reviews of extinct airlines, especially US. What were they like to fly with, service-wise? They were okay. Never my favorite, but I flew them a lot around the Northeast, Arizona and Jamaica. The airbuses didn't have any TVs or anywhere to charge your phone, and the fl...

A day trip on Virgin America & Alaska

This trip was from May 2017. I had wanted to fly on Virgin America, before their merger with Alaska. I also had never been to SFO. I figured this would be a good opportunity to kill two birds, with one stone. I would be flying PHX-SFO on an American A321. Then I’d be flying Redwood from SFO-PDX. The...

PHX-ORD-PDX-LAS-PHX daytrip (United and Southwest) 737-700, 800 & 900

This was from May 2018. I had just finished the semester, and my finals.

I figured while I had a few days off, I would do a...

Phoenix Sky Harbor: US Airways & American A321, 757-200 & 737-800

I have a few weeks off now, while I am waiting for IOE. I have some old trip reports that I wrote up while I was in college, that I never posted. I also have pictures from some old trips that I never wrote up. While I have the time off now, I figured I’d work on putting some old ones together. This ...

Great report and congrats on the checkride! I did mine back in October and had pretty much the same scenario except it was DTW to ORD. Be sure to ride some jumpseats in your time off.

Indianapolis & St. Louis (American & Delta) & My ATP Checkride

A few days ago, I finished airline training. I passed my checkride, and am now an ATP and have my first type rating! It’s been a busy few months, and am happy to finally be done with training. They are backed up on check airman, so I’ll have about a month off before IOE. These flights were from the ...

Re: Day Trip Just Because: ATL-BOS-ATL on JetBlue and Delta (Pics)

I still haven't flown on the jetBlue A220. How does it compare to the A320/21 and E190? I also flew on N395DZ back in January from Atlanta - West Palm Beach

I am almost done with my airline training. Earlier in training, I had a few weeks at home to do my systems training on the IPad. After I was done, it was back to Indianapolis for a week to continue my training. I was only going for a week, so I didn’t have to pack that much. I figured I would finish...

From my experience, landing on that runway at Boston tends to be firm with hard braking and I'm assuming it might be due to it being one of the shorter runways at Boston.

I was still short 117 hours, after the job ended. For the month of November, I came down to Florida to rent a plane...

I was supposed to be on this flight too. But, I had to cancel it at the last minute. I wanted to go on the first one, because I've been waiting for Southwest to start SYR for years. But, I'm going to be flying Southwest out of SYR for Thanksgiving next week.
