Re: RCMP crash

if you don't do that, you get rewarded with a STALL warning and a shaker and in her departure, low WX. Would that set up give you a stall warning and shaker for the entire flight, regardless of airspeed? Or just initially and then subside once you were above the adjusted shaker speed? It reads to m...

Remember, we've landed a car (rover) on another planet, with a sky crane... without a pilot or GPS and sent the footage back in HD... which is fucking nuts.

Just saying. crazier things have been done than no GPS navigation for computers.

This was my thought also. Maybe not finished, but will set it back a generation probably.

Re: Which airline offers the least amount of flying?

Seems like a good way around flat pay. Likely not approved, but that would be a brilliant scheme for someone with a good job, who doesn't want to take a massive pay cut for the eventual higher salary.

Re: Is Multi-IFR training in a Navajo Chieftain worth the money?

Short answer: No. Slightly longer awnser: if you get hired on a Navajo, the company will train you on how to operate their Navajo. 10 hours of Navajo time, is a SINGLE busy day operating commercially. It won't make a difference in the hiring process of any reputable operator. If I was hiring, I woul...

Re: Jazz Approach - Pilot Pathway Program Interview with Hubhire - Looking for Experiences

1) Go through the interview to see what it's like.
2) forget about the jazz advantage program.
3) find a mom&pop flight school and bang off a cpl as quick as possible
4) go enjoy and learn flying the small stuff
5) if jazz is still appealing to you at 3k hours, shoot them a resume.
