Pilot Steals School’s Aircraft, Crashes.

Advised ATC that he would not be communicating further with them, 5000ft per minute descent in a 172, apparent suicide. Yet another case of enacting a permanent solution to a temporary feeling. I assure you, it’s not worth it, whatever you’re going through, reach out to someone, spread that load, yo...

Re: JAL A350 collision & fire

I’m not sure what I was expecting when I saw that headline, but the condition of that A350 sure caught me off guard. Incredible work by the JAL flight attendants to get everyone out quickly without losing anyone; true professionals.

Re: Southwest has lost its mind.

The weight is spread across 2 seats now, without cramming an extra 180 into the additional seat with them. Extra safe, score one for team chunky.

Re: Southwest has lost its mind.

Southwest doesn’t have assigned seating, so they’ll tell the large person they will accommodate them. They board the large person on the aircraft in the “extra time” boarding group, so they are on early and get their extra seat. People aren’t dumb, so no one will try to sit next to the large person ...

Re: the best drive

Gravel protected 737-200 with -17 or better yet, -17A engines. The sound alone is a crowd pleaser and lets the wife know to get rid of her boyfriend before you can get home. Takeoff from a gravel strip somewhere north of 60, land at a major airport in the south on the same day. A joy to hand fly, be...

Fedex Tells its Pilots to Head to Regional Airline

Long story short, Fedex has a 700 pilot surplus and that number is growing. VP of Flight ops advises the pilots that PSA (American Airlines Regional carrier) will give them a $250,000 signing bonus along with a direct path to mainline to make the switch and that pilots should consider taking them up...

Re: Wow I thought salaries were on the rise

We get it, corporate pilots are gods gift to aviation.

That’s without even getting into having to te...

Re: Conair Career...it's a good time to get on.

This is easily some of the toughest flying to be had in the business and the people I know that do it find it quite fulfilling, but we all know they are undervalued for the demanding schedule, lifestyle and skillset required to do their jobs safely. I've always dreamed of doing it but the pay is a t...

Survey flying and rotational northern flying will be your best options. If you have no versatility after that, you are in for a tough time, but this is definitely doable and many have made it work!
