    Do ya HAVE to go through the Rockies...

    I crossed the Southern end in October twice in a PA28. Pretty easy. ABQ/SOW/BLH. I also crossed the Northern end twice in November/December. I did the BIL/BZN/HLN/MSO route. FYI- There is a mountain wave in between LVM and BZN that is very fierce. Hold on, it is a rocky ride!!

    Airline Hiring? What the???

    By not doing anything about the situation or speaking out against it, you are supporting it. Jesse, when you are older and are in the shoes that others are in now, you will feel differently about it. Wait until you have shelled out the dough to get all of your ratings and a four year...

    A classic story from last night

    Same buddy from PSA and I were telling jokes last night. He was on one of his first flights and there was also a new FA on board. Her ground training was 4 weeks and his was 8 weeks. She came up to him and said "How long was your ground training?" He replied "8 weeks". She came back and said...

    Foggles

    I did an IR for a guy who had bifocals last year. He used a black shade that cliped onto his glasses. He said they worked great for him. FYI- Don't cheat while doing your training. It will make you a much better IFR pilot. Take two sheets of paper and cover the windshield on the lower corners...

    Airline Hiring? What the???

    Today I ran into my old flight instructor as we were both home on vacation. He recently started with PSA Airlines and we got to talking about the hiring practices. 1. Those that buy their way in. I don't understand how some airlines have special agreements to hire FO's with less time...

    Day Flight Fright

    Lance- If you don't feel confident in the aircraft so soon - stick to VFR. It is not worth it. Have a mechanic look everything over again and get some more time before you push it. For me, if things don't feel right or if I feel that I am pushing the situation to meet a deadline - I don't...

    One less reason to fly United

    Forget the cost of the ticket or the economics of an airline. What happened to all the cute flight attendants?

    Frontier Air successful emergency landing LAX

    Yes, thank you for keeping us up to date. I always feel a little behind. I am not sure about the rest of you. I like hearing about aviation in the news, but every little incident is blanketed across the media. A gear door, landing gear, engine fire, cargo door, etc. It is getting old and...

    For those of you who fly for a living,

    Getting into the biz is expensive and a great deal of paying dues (ie - poverty wages and bad hours). I would agree with Greg. Stick to your paying job and build up your ratings. As soon as you have your commercial, simply ask around to see if you can do anything. Chances are you could...

    I need to find some pilot friends.

    Isn't that the truth? I get excited to simply hear a female on the radio. Too damn many days on the road... Nick, send me an email anytime and tell me about your flying.

    Idiot pilot, why insurance rates are so high!

    Insurance rates are high because rather than think about the situation of an accident, most people (and their families) only think about the money. And decide to sue everyone associated with pilot and plane. To top it off, insurance companies are evil!!! They will always get their money.
