Airnet News??

That autoland feature on the 145 discussed 6 months ago would be really helpful too.

You could totally fly an EMB-145 single pilot, but the FAA would never approve it. I mean why would they? They only approved the Fairchild Death Tube for single pilot operations, having an aircraft that's easier to operate being flown single pilot would be foolish.

Nah the metro wasn't too hard. I'd shoot an ILS down to mins, while watching my fav movie, and reading a magazine all just to keep from falling asleep and hoping the damn straps don't fail again on the 2000 lb crate of bolts that I just risked my life for through the 5th Tstorm on my route...all with no ap. Easy cheesy:D

Out of all of the aircraft i've flown I prefer the metro in IMC to them all. It's not easy to hand fly but in smooth or light turbulence it is very stable, does't want to move from it's decided upon tragectory and one of the easiest airplanes to fly an ILS i've ever been in. Aslong as you have muscles to be able to persuade it to do what you want it's a great hand flying aircraft, would take it over the beech 99 any day.

Bump.

Furloughed here. I haven't heard anything from the company and haven't heard much from my buddies still there. Anyone have some new info?

More furloughs? More Recalls? Anything?

PM me if you need it private and i can verify my info.
 
The pilot group had a phone conference with the president yesterday. We all got a chance to ask him questions. It's good that they're doing this, but the same ol usual managment talk:
"We're doing ok, not ok enough to bring pilots back, in fact I think we're letting a few more go, but we're doing ok, things will start to pick back up, I don't know when, I don't have my crystal ball in front of me, but we're working real hard to get back on top, we really appreciate you guys, blah blah blah."

One of the pilots on the conference call talked about how he was getting furloughed on either June 20 or July 20, can't remember. So it sounded to me like they are furloughing again.
 
There were a couple of displaced LCK pilots that were waiting their 60 days and chose to bump out the least senior prop pilots. The two least senior prop pilots were bumped back to furlough (although they have 60 days before they get officially furloughed).
 
So you're telling me I'm "Safe from recall" for a while? I got a call from Tom the other day and got all moist....he was just looking for my Jepp binder.

Thanks for the updates, guys.

Sorry to hear that things are still running kind of rough up in CBUS/MDW/Wherever Airnet is nowadays.

Best of luck to those 2 on the bottom.
