If you're not black, gay, or a woman, you don't belong at OBAP, NGPA or WIA job fairs, IMO.

This is akin to being a helicopter parent, and bubble wrapping your kid. Life is meant to be lived. Don't go act deliberately stupid, but if flying outside of work is so scary, maybe you shouldn't be in a cockpit at work either.

How the hell are feds making extra for doing a check ride?

At night, with the runway lights out...

Where do you think they learned it from?

"HAHAHAHAHA! HE SMEARED DOODOO EVERYWHERE!" That's what my 6 and 11 year old said when I told them about this.

When she finishes her......"service".

You pay her to leave when she's finished.

"I just got hired to fly the Airbus A330 as an second officer with a major European airliner. The ‘hands on’ time I got with Tropic Air was a big advantage in my selection process."

I worked for a "bottom feeder" 135 for about 6 months. When I quit, all I heard from the other guys was "thanks for screwing us all over, they want us to pay for our training now!" All I could come up with in reply was "And you still work there because?" These places will always exist, and...

But you said it never happens. It does.

It does. Ask the crew who ignored the EGPWS leaving Monterey Mexico, missed the top of the mountain by less than 200ft, and wrote it up as a broken unit. Crap happens, you just gotta hope crap doesn't happen to you. Short of fighting over the controls, you force the move by stating your...

Indigo just signed a deal for 430 aircraft from Airbus. All from the 320 series (some 320's, some 321's). Chinese airlines have bought up at least 190 (worth about $27b). https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2017/12/29/airbus-confirms-50-billion-jet-order-one-of-the-biggest-aviation-deals-in-history.html

What a d-bag. I get asked all the time.

Been watching a lot of SpongeBob, or playing a lot of Minecraft lately?

Every time I do that, well mostly, the guy next to me usually looks at me like I have a third eye starting to grow.

I still can't believe that there aren't emergency generators for the terminals.

Delta didn't buy that dress.

"Hey honey, would'ja look at this!?"

Because the earth is flat, and they'd fall off the edge. Plus, what would we do of say, the front fell off?

Chicken Little.... The sky wasn't really falling.

"early Christmas miracle"? Nah, an early Christmas "well damn, there goes my airplane."

Because this is what the article says? "That is why the Air Line Pilots Association applauds the Trump administration for announcing today it is taking preliminary action to address these subsidies and ensure a level playing field for all. It is our expectation that this action will lead to the...

I did an SIC type in the Lear when I was 135. It was a joke.

I'd rather not have a beard.

That's about average right now at most places.

Lots of guys have been really happy, right up until they're not.

If they're lucky. The reason that they'd take stuff away is because of financial trouble most likely, and I can already hear managements battle cry, just like I've heard in the past. Once it's gone, it 10 times as hard to get it back, and you usually have to give something up for it.

So, what, is Amazon now going to deliver packages via rocket ships?

It drew me in. The article is really good, and speaks well of the program. But the title makes it seem as if there is a bunch of drunk pilots flying around.

So now people w/out degrees can't think outside the box, or think critically?

Been working on mine.... again, for the last year and a half. But you missed my point.

The fact still remains that Inc. used SKW as a pawn, and had they voted to unionize, ASA might not have had been given the shaft like they were. And call it whatever you'd like. It's not a contract, and as far as I know, it can be amended without the pilot groups approval. A "working...

TA, that's cute. That actually requires a union.

That'll let someone have a beard?

I wouldn't worry about it to much. The guy who gave me my letter of rec at my current shop has two "dings" on his record, and he didn't even bother getting them expunged.

Sweet. When do we get to start having facial hair? There are a lot of foreign carriers that allow it. I'd love to have a beard again.

They had their chance to unionize in 2007. Instead, they chose to be pawns in .Inc's eyes. If they had stood together with ASA/XJT......
