Pay wall.

I don’t think they are going to have much of a choice soon. When all the airframes you’re flying are timed out, you either go out of business, or buy new airframes. UPS won’t go out of business, but some of the smaller operators will.

Only admit to what can be proven.

This thread, and the GA guy who can't fly are pure irony.

Someone needed to fill the void that the aging Metro's and 1900's are going to leave. Hopefully this doesn't turn out to be a huge flop like the Skycatcher was.

BAZINGA!

I believe it's "ba-dunk-a-dunk"?

Yes and no. It all depends on the station. Many of the places I go don't have PreCheck, yet I don't have to take my EFB out, and some PreCheck lines make me take everything out and separate it. There is zero consistency. And then, when I forget to ask, it's like I've declared WWIII on the TSA.

The problem with taking your badge out of it's holder is even that is inconsistent. Some places make you, some don't. This new crap of having crew members take all their electronics out of their bags too, even EFB's is complete nonsense, and again, there is no consistency there. We aren't...

No, it's not even close. If you don't like it, no one is begging you to stay. The people here make this place. Hell, I was offered a place to crash on a road trip one time, and another with no timeline when I was going through my divorce. I had numerous people checking up on me from here...

This is the only aviation forum I visit. The others are so full of trash and rabble rabble, I can't take it.

There is a lot more to the equation than just pilot salaries though. From what I've been hearing (honestly don't know the specifics), this ended up being a pay cut for some guys because they lost the bonuses. Just curious is all. Not trying to harsh on anyone's party.

Will this still make it cheaper for them to provide the lift?

Certifiably nuts!

Right now, I'm not sure anyone actually could. I don't think the system have the ability to do anything other than read the data that streams in over ACARS. But what I think a lot of people, or at least myself are alluding to is if we decide to take the pilot out of the equation all together...

Totes!

Public school?

I'm curious to see who his clients were. Maybe I'll try and go work for United? I mean you're paying for it one way or the other, right?

If you're okay with having little to no social life (except on overnights when the crew doesn't suck), making crap money for a few years, and being gone a lot, then this is a great job. It takes a special kind of crazy to put up with the schedule.

Oh hell yes!

See the post above yours. I'm not talking about today's fleet. I'm talking about all the "pilot-less errplane" people.

Do you hear that often? (Sorry Todd, you left yourself wide open for that)

My dogs the same. The best is when it's an audible fart. It freaks her out, and she jumps up and tries to run away from her own ass!

I totally agree. My argument is for why the f would you want to take the pilot out of the loop of that?

Which leaves an in. There is data broadcast over that VHF channel. At this point, it's insignificant. Just data, no commands. But if there was commands....it could be hacked.

If you take the pilot out of the equation, and only have a network, what makes anyone think that it won't happen?

And people want to go with pilot-less airplanes. QFT!

Because clicks.

This is like asking on an automotive forum, "which synthetic oil is the best?"

Well, at least it's an improvement.:bounce: "TSA still fails 80% of the time" https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-11-09/tsa-fails-most-tests-in-undercover-operation?context=amp

Does that mean jet bridge manufacturers are going to have to install those sideways electric chair things to get up and down the stairs too?

I will not be working at 65. I might still be flying, but definitely not working (if everything goes according to plan).

So it's okay, as long as she doesn't find out? Good for her. Good for her for figuring out a way to hang him by his balls. He didn't get the ass beating he deserved. It should have been worse.

A good stick doesn't necessarily make a good pilot. I'd still rather have a pilot with 4000 hours of real experience, than a pilot with 500 hours, who soloed at 15, and hasn't seen a winter yet.

It's not a terrible design. It's a high performance single, not meant for your low time pilot. Edit: Never mind, I thought this was an Epic, not that light sport deal.

Oh, he was completely serious. Seemed like a starry-eyed brand spanking new FO.

So I guess you fly for SKW then. I wasn't offended, but it made for a good laugh. And yes, he was totally serious. He used @BobDDuck example.

I thought SkyWest was mainline? At least that's what I've been told by a few of their jump seat riders.

Fatigue, no ILS up for the runway being used, non-standard runway markings, poorly written NOTAM's for non-standard markings?
