Re: LAs Vegas

Last time I flew Continental, you could upgrade for about $70 for the whole trip, one way. Not a bad deal on a long flight

Re: Going rate for an annual

This $500 guy has been an AME for about 50 years and he has his own hangar, but he is based out in the middle of the countryside so he doesn't have huge expenses. He does the annuals for most of the planes based here, and he knows pretty much everything there is to know about small piston engine pl...

Re: Human Factors

I've done the CAMC course twice now as recurrent training. It's not too bad, but a bit of a joke if you ask me.

Re: inspection questions

If I remember correctly, I believe you can do the inspection at any time, even outside the 10% tolerance, as long as you track what you did, sign it out as you go, and keep doing those particular tasks every 100 hours, or whatever your inspection interval is.

Re: lay offs 9 days before xmas

Then Field must be totally closing the door then. There is already nobody there, but they are making more money probably leasing out the hanger space.

Re: Any one else out there

I presume you are referring to being bent over for your license renewal? At least we don't have to get the annual (or semi-annual as they get older) medicals like the pilots do.

All that is required now is the printoff from the TC website as far as I know. Buying a logbook is a waste of perfectly good beer money.
