Businesses with over a certain number of employees are required to have a representative cross section of employees, and he may be required to hire the minority in order to comply with that. I'm not saying I agree with it, but it's the way it is. I do not believe that this is accurate. Can you cite...

I think that despite the economy is slowing down, the aviation field will continue to expand. This slow down is not to be compared with the last one (11-2001). What do you think?

Please contact me at McDonalds when a seat opens up." or "I'm sorry - I don't have any flying positions right now. I do need a ramp attendant however because you...

So let me get this straight. Pilots shouldn't take a job working the ramp because it will make it difficult for them to obtain a PPC. Right? What if they were to just purchase their own PPC? Wouldn't that make them more attractive to an employer and more likely to go right seat immediately after fin...
