Pilot hiring has always been cyclical and always will be. In the last few years if you had the 1500 hours and could fog a mirror you would get hired. Things are slowing, though certainly not stopping, so the airlines and are going to start being a bit more picky. It could get to the point...

Probably look at Ryan Air for the EDI-MUC leg. They’re cheap (cattle car), but it’s not a long flight. We booked on Delta’s website from the states to FRA with a return from MUC last year.

She had no clue.

Best one I heard of was a guy at work got plates for his wife’s car with CZI on them. (Think VOR ID)

Uhmm…No

I believe that would be just fine regarding the OPs post.

Well…they do have these things called emergency exits.

I was born in the same hospital/bank and both my grandparents are in Fairview.

Small world. I was born in Pampa as well.

Reading all of the replies verifies what I tell newer guys. You just have to find your niche that suits you and it’s a great job. With the different fleets you can choose from 14 day international down to single day turn trips and sleep at home every day. Domestic day flying or nights. I have...

It’s all about timing. There has been a LOT of hiring. I know Delta is planning on hiring less this year than they have been hiring. It’s gotta stop at some point. Like Oldmanb777 said, career FO isn’t a bad gig either. I remember way back when I used to commute on TWA they had guys who had...

Type IV is designed to shear in the 100-110 kt range. I’ve watched the wing when riding in the back and you can see it suddenly liquify and run off. Kinda cool.

Not an authority on the subject but I wouldn’t be surprised if they said no. That being said, if it’s on Christmas Day they might be slow enough to allow it.
