I'm graduating in December with a BS degree and an A&P and I would love to hear about this job from someone in the field. Ups, downs, pay and the like.

Thanks! ]]> Hangar Talk Jones14 http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/hangar-talk/45928-engine-overhaul-mechanics.html http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/hangar-talk/45919-can-u-help-me-solve.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:07:55 GMT I am trying to do an exponential regression... BY HAND. I realized that I have no idea how to even try. I looked online and couldn't find anything. On my assignment it says to take my first and last data point and find the exponential model by hand.

My data points are (0,68950), (1,57777), (2,40993), (3,29990), (4,23995), (5,19998), (6,12900), (7,9495), (8, 7850), (9,6995)

I can graph it on my calculator... but by hand. WHO DOES THAT?!

Any help :(

I am new to the forums!

I was curious if airlines did fare sponsorships? I am trying to go to South Africa so that I can work on an organic orchard to supply food to the poor and homeless population of South Africa. However right now I can not afford the plane ticket. Are there any airlines that will sponsor air travel for college students who are going to volunteer for humanitarian aid to countries in need?

The discussion revolved around Newton's Third Law of Motion.

I used Boeing 727 and 737 models along with great posters of aircraft in flight, the 737 NG cockpit, and the Space Shuttle. I talked about turbine engines, reciprocating engines, rocket engines, and propellers.

The various phases of flight from takeoff to landing was covered. I talked about the space program.

The level of interest from 125 students was......mostly apathy. One student proclaimed no interest at all in anything relating to aviation, space, or exploration. The majority of the students just sat there or tried to engage in conversation with their friends.

No, this was not a lecture. I tried to engage the students with comments, questions, and conversation.

I asked what they are interested in doing one day. The most frequent answers: computer programmers, lawyers, and accountants.

Accountants???

Where are the kids interested in becoming astronauts, pilots, professional baseball players, and firemen?

I had one student express an interest in aviation. ]]> Hangar Talk Rebuilt http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/hangar-talk/45861-were-doomed.html http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/hangar-talk/45857-am-i-crazy.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:44:16 GMT Ok I know that by the book controllers are not responsible with VFR separation but ...

I got into this heated discussion with this gentleman (ATC) about the role of the controller in the Hudson collision.

My point: Will you really consider yourself blameless if two VFR planes collided in your airspace and on your frequency while you are involved in "inappropriate conversations" on a personal call?

His point: it's not ATC's job to separate VFR aircraft. If they get together, it's horrible accident, but not controller's fault. Period!

His attitude scares me!

I am fairly newbie ... my thinking might be faulty. This is the perfect time to find out. What do you guys think?

P.S. I always look for traffic ... flight following or not. ]]> Hangar Talk CRMcaptain http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/hangar-talk/45857-am-i-crazy.html http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/hangar-talk/45852-kite-fliers.html Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:11:28 GMT "Two kite surfers from West Sussex took advantage of strong winds on the south coast to realize an ambition to jump over Worthing pier."
