Cessna Citation Accident in VA. F-16s Scrambled

The F-16 jets caused a loud sonic boom that was heard around the region, ...

Re: Alternative for a floating dock

How big of a dock are we talking? I feel like you have a ton of options with the newer styles/materials that jigsaw together so transportation is a little less cumbersome.

Re: American Airlines, one of the world’s largest airlines, has announced plans to pay its pilots up to $590,000 per yea

I agree with you, wholeheartedly. Pay needs to be addressed. I understand they don’t get destroyed by taxation the same way that you and I are, but it is nowhere near what is encountered in the US. There’s a hell of a lot of reasons to go into looking at our markets, taxation and government policy. ...

How are airlines taxed vs those in Canada though? How are we the same when 50% of my salary evaporates when I receive it? I’m not buying that argument.

I know I'm an old fart, but when people pay attention to a supposed ranking based on simply a count of tweets with AI selected positive or negative wording I simply shake my head and sigh. Oh my god, thank you. No one considers the means in which this data was obtained. Congratulations on your crit...

Re: CBC - A shortage of pilots is making travel chaos in Canada even worse

The average person still thinks our job is pretty cool. They don’t see what we go through to get here, but let’s be honest, if we could bring our working conditions up to even a fraction of those in the US, the industry would start to fill back in pretty fast. I landed in a high pay, great schedule ...

Re: 20/150 in one eye at the age of 22. should I still pursue this career path

I was 20/400 when I started, I'm far worse now. It's all corrected and no one has ever said a thing as it is corrected. If you wish to get laser eye surgery, that's your call to make but do not let it steer you away from a career in aviation.

Re: Airlines push towards single pilot ops

Would it really be cost savings if you have to pay someone to sit in a remote room and be at the ready in the event the one pilot kicks it? Let’s replace CEOs with AI instead. Would one person on the ground replace one pilot in the air, or 5? We're dealing in hypotheticals, of course. Perhaps the a...
