if you are a high time van pilot, how hard is it to get on to fed-ex? Fed-ex moves their van pilots up to the 727 after a few years i believe, only bad thing is all you fly is night all the time, I ramped at purolator and the midnights kill you. That would be good move if you can get on, but i am no...

What newer plane could truely do what a DC3 or C46 can do. I don't think we will ever be able to build a plane that can preform like these old birds, and fly for as cheap. What will be the death of them is trying to find experienced captains to fly them. The only competition I can think of would be ...

I agree with what everyone is saying. $5000 worth of training is just $5000, who cares in the governments eyes if it goes to a class 1 drivers license or to a welding course or a plumbing course. I bet thoose folks getting thoose courses paid for didn't shell out tens of thousands for their career t...

DC H10-13X ???

Hey,
Just wondering what you folks think about this headset? Is it worth the money or should I just save myself $100's and go with the 13.4's. I have heard that these headsets are blowing through mic's all the time, is this true?

Does anyone have a used set that they would want to sell?
