Re: Dreamliner Down in India
The aircraft would give you many warnings when thrust is pushed forward and the flaps aren’t selected. And yet there have been numerous accidents in airliners after a takeoff without flaps extended, where warnings should have alerted the crew. Sometimes they were not functioning, other times crews ...

Re: Dreamliner Down in India
Would lack of flaps (with engines operating nominally) cause zero or negative vertical speed? Yes if heavy and the flaps were fully retracted instead of the gear the airplane would likely immediately stall and descend. However it does look fairly stable in descent. There have been numerous accident...

Re: Jazz Approach state
Stepping up to a Jazz position in my opinion would be 1900 and King Air Captains. Lots of IFR experience on aircraft a bit slower than Jazz Dash 8, with 2 crew experience and many of those types now have FMS/Glass Cocpits seems to be the plausible logical applicants to hire and be able to fit in ra...

Re: Encore hiring Foreign Workers??
Those with more experience aren’t applying. It’s not that they are choosing to hire low timers, they can’t hire the others.
2000 hrs gets you on the radar at Air Canada. Until recently I was flying with individuals on the 767 with just over 2000 hrs total.

I am not letting this go. You went after me (and not only you) for simply saying the pax deserve a lot more empathy than this crew. Still your position BTD? They deserve empathy?

Re: Allegiant rejects 70% pay increase
The hard part was the beat of the union, right up until accepting the TA - it was a very loud war cry, with the biggest release of hot gas happening without warning when the TA dropped. I think had they been more realistic and honest with the pilot group, and industry in general, likely they would'...

Correct. Also the old flat pay was flat. Didn't matter how much you worked. That was the pay. You also couldn't get draft or premium. That was the pay. Now $6561 / $7111 are the absolute minimums year 1 / 2. And only if you don't crack 75 hours. Plus paid over 75 for actual flying or MRG in a time ...
