    (NA-ish) - Scotland/Germany 2024

    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.

    Aviation License Plates

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

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

    121 Time Logging

    I think future interviewers are going to look at you funny trying to explain the PIC time in your logbook when you’re the SIC. I wouldn’t bother.

    Flying the Piper Pawnee

    Towed banners with Pawnees in college. The 180 hp was kinda marginal, the 235 was a lot of fun to fly. Pawnee definitely has a different site picture than a Super Cub with that long nose. Feels like your going up in an elevator during climb because of the site picture. Have fun.

    pilot airline jobs are we at the peak

    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...

    pilot airline jobs are we at the peak

    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...

    Teach Me About Deicing

    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.

    NYC Touch & Go?

    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.

    Pilot Career Question

    It’s definitely a good time to be a pilot. The 141 schools are expensive but I know some of the regional airlines were helping to pay off some of the debt if you committed to them. Been a long time since I was in that phase of my career and I’m sure some of the younger guys will have better...

    Spirit Stops Hiring

    Both FedEx and UPS quit hiring this year. Pretty sure that was after the high inflation and slowing economy began. UPS earned $1.3 billion in the 3rd quarter while FedEx was around $800 million. Both are still making profits, just less than before.

    Spirit Stops Hiring

    Amazon is not the problem. Slowing economy has caused volume to decrease at all 3 carriers. This comes after all 3 we’re hiring like mad during Covid so now FedEx and UPS are fat in pilots. UPS offered an early out to the senior guys. FedEx is encouraging guys to go to PSA and may well...

    Can You Survive Elevator Loss?

    He was asking hypothetically. Not whether or not you could survive the event that would actually be involved to make it happen. Just wants to know if a 172 will fly with only the right elevator.
