The NPRM on flight time / duty time that came out last year had some language that would, in theory, help with these situations. I can't remember the exact wording, but it essentially said that if the company has any possible knowledge that the flight will take longer than scheduled (frequent...

I entered the regional industry 3 years ago, and I'm now at my 3rd airline. I worked at one terrible, awful, crappy place and 2 overall decent airlines. At the first airline I was working for, I didn't commute, held a decent although tiring schedule, and we had a fair contract. I was home...

New job for me, I was furloughed from XJ in December, started class with this place in late January. I was lucky to not be on the street very long. But I just can't wait to dive into sewark, particularly the way this winter has been going!

I'm not sure what smiley would be appropriate here, perhaps :mad2:, but yup, I'll be joining the fun in EWR in about 10 days.

Thats what I'm thinking about the Q200 right now! I mean, what is this trim wheel you speak of? No electric trim on the yoke?? That little switch is the key to consistent decent landings in the Saab, just start holding nose up trim at the right time and its basically like auto-flare.

Congrats on the upgrade Teller! Have fun with the beta tube and sleeve...autocoarsen...CTOT...the entire electrical system :eek:

2 out of 450 flights in the last year... 1 as a passenger into MSP due to spacing 1 when I was up front due to vis dropping suddenly as we were coming down the slope

We've had some fun in the fog around Detroit too, I had a landing with touchdown RVR 6000, midpoint 500, rollout 1000. Then the other day right before sunrise get cleared for the visual appch, airport easily in sight 20 miles out. By touchdown it was P6000/800/1000. I think the tops were...

Yeah, its hard to get the same effect typing it out, but basically it was funny because in the middle of the normal, professional, quick pace of tower, here comes Richard Simmons on the radio. It just caught everyone completely off guard.

The other day in Detroit... Among the completely normal flow of traffic... Airliner 1234 (guy in very effeminate voice): Metro tower, airliner 1234 visual 4L silence click silence Tower (barely able to hold in laughs): Airliner 1234 runway 4L, cleared to land Airliner 1234 (once again in...

That's awesome Tony, congrats! :thumbsup:

I'm sorry to hear of your loss Lance. :frown3: I remember my first approach in actual with heavy rain; I was surprised when I got to the runway and it was moderately difficult to judge your height above the pavement since the landing light was reflecting off of the standing water. Perhaps he...

My favorite comment by CNN..."This is, of course, why there are two pilots, so one can take over in an event like this..." So that's what my job is; to just hang out till the captain keels over.

I've had Sirius for 4 or 5 years now, I subscribed to it when I was living in an area with marginal choices for FM. Now I live near Detroit but I can't give it up, I'm addicted. I'm mostly listening to music so its nice to not have any commercials other than the stations own promos, but on...

Re: Somebody is in trouble! Airlines generally have more restrictive policies on this than the FAA. i.e. 12 hours bottle to throttle rather than 8. Regardless, this guy is in big trouble with both of them.

Yeah, you can say that again. Who's running that place now? All of the planes look like they're registered with "Metro Area Aviation"

1 out of every 2.4 million people in the United States has a case of H1N1, or whatever you want to call it. Worldwide, 1 confirmed case out of every 25.7 million. Oh. My. God. :frown2:

My first 100 hrs were fairly boring... Total time: 99.1 Instrument Approaches: 25 Total landings: 209 ASEL: 99.1 Cross Country: 19.8 (3.1 PIC X-C) Day: 96.0 Night: 3.1 Actual Inst: 0 Sim Inst: 31.9 Dual Received: 78.1 PIC: 57.7 CFI's: 5 Airports operated at:12 Class C: DSM, CID Class...

Negative, I think it was two or three years ago driving back to Ottumwa from DSM. That looks nasty though, it looks like you got more run-back before it froze completely, maybe actual freezing rain rather than drizzle?
