    Pilot hiring

    Not sure if you’re asking me but if so it was the announcement by AA they were buying 100 regional jets.

    Pilot hiring

    I think so. Might take a little longer to get hired but there will still be plenty of hiring. Just don’t expect to get hired at mainline without captain time. But this is just a discussion. I don’t know anything. About the only thing I confident about is the hiring at mainline is quickly...

    Pilot hiring

    Honestly I think it will increase FO hiring. Currently it’s almost stopped because of the shortage of captains at the regionals. If the current pilots at regionals are required to upgrade before they can leave there will be additional hiring to get new FOs on property. Several regionals have...

    What's For Dinner?

    Chicken fried steak is just a tenderized steak fried with the batter traditionally used for fried chicken. I think. Never understood the chicken fried chicken. Seems redundant.

    Pilot hiring

    I won’t be pretentious enough to say I know for sure how it will shake out but I think the regionals will be back to a stable pre-pandemic business model within the next 12-18 months. All the crazy money will be dried up. The blue-yellow merger being blocked will free up some pilots and...

    Pilot hiring

    I’m calling it. The pilot “shortage” is effectively done. Within 18 months I think all the crazy money at the regionals will be snapped back to contractual rates and hiring will be back to normal. Better have that degree and a bunch of PIC turbine if you want a job at mainline. The hiring is...

    How much money should I expect to make in the industry??

    It’s not. You should not be a doctor or lawyer just for the money either. That’s a good way to be a crappy doctor or lawyer and miserable.

    Struggling with single engine commercial

    There is no way I would teach my wife how to fly. That sounds like a real PITA.

    Post aircraft pictures you took

    Ive seen Julie a couple times at air shows. I have a signed picture from a show when I was in my mid teens. She’s an awesome pilot and great performer. She’s definitely on the list of people that lead me down the path of being a professional pilot.

    Trent Palmer (YouTuber Bush Pilot Channel) Suspended By FAA

    Good thing FAA inspectors can’t just do whatever the **** they want because there is an 8900.

    RSV vaccine

    I’ve re-read my post I can see it wasn’t explicitly clear that I was referring to him alone in my statement. That said it also wasn’t clear that it was broad in scope. I think the proper word would be vague. Now that we have clarified my intent my post was accurate in its original context. He...

    RSV vaccine

    I haven’t quoted any math results. Plus I think you are seeing what you want to see just to argue. I said HE made the decision that additional Covid vaccinations were more risk than Covid for HIM, not everyone on the planet. People need to consult their PCP and make an informed decision...

    no he’s actually very good at math.

    RSV vaccine

    Considering he has been involved in mRNA vaccine research during his career I tend to trust his insight. I do however include my PCP in all decisions. So far he’s always been in agreement. But that’s kinda the point to the little thread drift. mRNA vaccines are new. It will take a generation to...

    RSV vaccine

    I know a PhD bioscience doc and he is not taking anymore mRNA vaccines. Did the initial and two rounds of boosters but no more. He deems the risk of vaccine to be higher than risk of Covid at this point. General comment unrelated to quoted post follows: What I find annoying about this...

    Do you think a bachelors degree will ever become necessary again to become a pilot at the airlines?

    Yep. I know they track data. Not just the majors. Regionals do as well. At the one where I was privy to the data degrees only seemed to be a marker for the lowest time pilots. Generally speaking more experienced pilots it didn’t matter. That’s why I was asking.

    From pilot to A/P?

    Yeah I’m on a trip as well so I also have limited time. I know all about the 8900. I held two operating certificates for a business that I started. Also have held letters of designation for some roles at 121 carriers. Just because there are rules does not mean it’s easy to hold an inspector...

    Alaska Airlines explosive decompression 1/5/23

    Accountants have lots to contribute to the world and often do a great job at the helm of a business. That said I do see validity to ensuring the senior leadership of an engineering company are engineers. The royal ****ing of Boeing directly correlates to the time frame of the guys at the helm...
