"Any conflicting traffic..." Is A Stupid Thing To Say

I was flying the across the prairies yesterday at at FL270, and I was unlucky enough to hear several different military trainers repeatedly end every single one of their long-winded transmissions with this stupid statements.

Re: GPS Outage NOTAMs

Yes, Maple Flag is still going on. I've just never seen any GPS interruptions published like this before. I'm curious if anyone has had, or will have, any difficulty operating with these GPS outages occurring.

Re: Plane missing in Antarctica

I'd known Bob for many years. Although we'd never worked at the same company at the same time, our paths kept crossing. Bob was a true gentleman, a true aviator, and one of the most truly genuine people I've ever met. The experiences and knowledge he shared with everyone he met was impressive and in...

Re: Lets nominate Joe (avmaster extrodinaire) for safety aw

I concur. I think this website has been an invaluable place for much information to be passed along to all members of our aviation community.


Joe deserves a HUGE thank you for the hard work he does to give us this playground.

Re: The Pogey Manifesto

This is a fantastic read!

Everyone should read this, and I'm sure most of us can see ourselves in this writing at some point!

I just spent an entire morning reading it when there are tons of other things I should have done. This was worth it!

Great job!

Re: layoffs at Wasaya???

Which "unofficial" company is this?

And for what it's worth, RW would make a fantastic CP. I'd be quite happy to work for him any day. You won't find a more straight-up guy.

Ground Stop?

I heard Centre talking with a WJ flight yesterday about a company-wide ground stop. The crew said they would get in touch with company. There still seemed to be lots of WJ aircraft in the air, and they seemed to be flying all day.

Any idea what that was about?

Re: RAIM and KLN 90B's lately

Honeywell produced a Service Information Letter in early September that had some interesting information on these units. I don't have an electronic copy or a link to it, but I'm sure someone more technologically advanced than me can figure it out.

This is who I recommend. They have a good product that will let you experience what the CBT will be like when you write in the US.
