    The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

    The Atlanta based company I work for, I’ve only voluntarily stood reserve. The timing worked out. I’ve had a line available thus far.

    The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

    Airline Pilot Central is probably a decent place to start, as much as I hate to say it. There’s nuggets in the sea of garbage on the forums there. It’s contract season though, so rules/variables today may change tomorrow.

    The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

    Really? Short call reserve doesn’t last forever. Seems a bit short sighted.

    The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

    Short call is company dependent. In general, 2-4 hours you need to be ready to launch. So, if on short call, not doable in your situation. Especially if you’re on probation. You might be able to request trips in whatever uncovered flying is available while on reserve. That makes the logistics...

    The SHOW: Airlines still a "good gig"??

    On two occasions in the last month, I’m say at FL350, crossing traffic at FL340 or 360. Right at flight path crossing, I hear “meow!” on guard. Both times it was LUV. I thought it kinda funny. Kinda.

    How did the 185 fly vs the 170? Feel like you were flying a dump truck?

    Rand study on USAF pilot retention

    As much as I’m ready to get out at ~year 9, I’d do it again for sure. Priorities change, life changes, and it’s time to move on. But at 22, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I didn’t even think about the commitment. I think 10 years service is perfect. I did something fun, rewarding and...

    Why it's good to be in Naval Aviation

    I’ve heard from an old paddles that the only reason we have a descending approach turn is because of the F7U Cutlass. It couldn’t fly the normal 500’ pattern and turn level without going into afterburner. Don’t know how true that is, but the ancient paddles couldn’t believe we still flew a...

    Hell yeah, man. Chances are that the same IPs you talk about give the same type of debrief and grades to other studs. Me and my buddies bitch about the same shit. I can usually identify what I need work on, what I am alright at and what I'm pretty good at. If the debrief is just the "no...

    I think if most of us API kids were to write a blog, the posts would start like this...

"The next morning I told her if...

    A-Pool Update

    Good stuff, mid. Checked in this past weekend. Its going to be about a 2 week wait in A-Pool to class up in DIVOLC for me. If you have your cloud card, sounds like API class up isn't too far behind DIVOLC (a week or two from what I was told). One month or so in the Pool sounds purty good to me.
