Swanky new airplanes huh?

Late 50's worn rudder pedals.

Diver drivn'?

Marketing should be easy. Human Factors I would consider. The rest - pick your poison.

Doesn't 135 SIC require a 293? They can get a 297 on their checkride but that's essentially pointless every six months.

How have you been? Shoot me a PM if you get a chance.

That's great - he let me fly his 172 for some time building and instrument work.

Was Gordon still on the 900 when you left?

I guess they were voted off the island this first go.

I thought this was interesting as well, circa 1954: https://www.google.com/patents/US2949265

Not that I didn't believe you, but I had to google: https://www.google.com/patents/US5996939 (looks like a B717 - I wonder when the CS300 will put in for an AR contract) :D

If I recall correctly, the previous short list was mostly KC10 replacements or stand ups. I think MacDill had some drama about the 46 which currently flies the 135. Grand Forks has not had 135s since 2010. Dover has not had tankers either. Pease is the only one with 135s - I don't know if it...

Enjoys long duets on 21.5. Dislikes chewing tabacco in the cockpit.

I saw that I if I recall the candidates are from aviation universities. Pending it's success I wonder if that would apply to higher time candidates without an aviation degree.

Sounds like a lot of: "this one time in Glee Club..."

Didn't know that was contracted out. Cool.

Interesting, thanks. I suppose that may be the only approved sim in the country, if not world.

Are there any civilian 707 operators left?

....so a Captain dies midflight over the Atlantic and the FE looks to the FO and says "well what should we do?" The FO responds "I don't know but first let's get this *edit* out of my seat."

Over a hundred thousand applicants for roughly a thousand jobs - wow. That was just Delta. I had no idea the volume of applications they received. Surprisingly, in a small Indoc class I was one of two with a college degree with one of those just having finished their degree later in life. In...

Outside of the degree what separates the competitiveness of FA applicants?

Well - I'm a slight oddball out, I knew it was just a checkbox. Even then I made it much more difficult on myself. I may have kicked and screamed and fought at it being a waste of time and money, but ultimately it won. I'll bow to the social stigma because it gave me an entrance to the stage...

That is sort of the rub, but as much as I hate cliches its the pigeon and the statue analogy - someone has to get screwed. I won't go as far as a conspiratorial inference between lending and approved schools (though I can see the follow the money - its a small sub sect however), but somethings...

Well, my masters in English isn't finished yet so it's not my fault. :)

Your offending my Special Snowflake Studies with a concentration in Biology of French Poetry Degree. See my Twitter feed, you'll be hearing from my lawyer. #millennialaf

Bu..bu...but any degree is a good degree!

Was Orville a cool guy or nah?

Bear = Qutch?

Check out Action Multi in GON. For the price it's worth the travel. This was a few years ago and I drove but everything including my expenses was right at $3,000. Excellent training and they send you study materials before hand.

The worst part about being a pilot is those who complain about being a pilot, and more so the lifestyle it entails. Currently embracing the suck and enjoying it.

Well, it should make for an interesting CBT at least.

SEEYUUUH

Anyone use an Ogio Layover? I have been using one and I'm curious about long term wear. So far it's been great.

I do not believe it has to deal with marketing or the routes, but rather how the airline operates internally. I believe the GLO brand already went into bankruptcy in April. These guys are operated by CFM/Contour - not sure how well the other side(s) are doing.

There is always a chance. I have seen two age waivers, one of which was prior enlisted. The how is probably a unit by unit decision, so pull the phone book out and be ready with a completed application.

Sorry - you're going to have to answer for yourself instead of differing to other threads. I really want to hear your expertise on the matter now that I've been labeled "ignorant" for asking a question.

Hey - thanks for the helping hand as I wander in apparent ignorance like I missed some social que about why such a question leads you to believe that is ignorance. I guess you cannot divulge your trade secrets. At least rebut so anyone can see how you might even be right or wrong.

Glad you have two options of thought patterns of other peoples inquires.
