    United at it again

    Woman shipped her very expensive rabbit from London to Chicago but the rabbit was found dead in a holding area after landing. Seems this rabbit was the son of the world's largest, around 4 1/2 ft long, and it was thought he would surpass his sire. News also added that United has the highest...

    Have the written tests become obsolete?

    Since the FAA has decided DPE''s need to hit on everything in the ACS, like looooooong orals covering much of the info in the written, do you think testing an applicant face-to-face during the checkride is much more effective than taking a written test where many of the questions are out there...
