We have ICT and Omaha charts for OKC, that's quite a ways further. Jacksonville to Miami is maybe a 25 minute ride if even

I love this but who are you casting as Castanza? Bob or Eddie? How about Elaine and Cosmo? I need faces to make this even better.

I believe RAH did and said no after the trial. I guess the question is, what would the company gain buy verifying that?

Anyhow these charts suck and I would love to see what supposed errors they claim to have found on some of the Jepps. I'm pretty sure Jepp hasn't listed some runways as grass strips, but thats just me.

Over the last few weeks I've found some differences between the navtech and jepp charts. Comparing those differences to the FAA charts, I've discovered that the jepp charts are not the holy grail we think them to be. No system is perfect. If you find errors, email the company, union, and/or ASAP them. It is clear that navtech is doing whatever they can to make things right!

Any new rumors lately?

Hanging out during snowmaggedon, one of the ideas thrown out was that the new request for FA referrals = new/additional flying coming soon.

Ready, go....

I doubt that is what it means. Pilots come to regionals because if you are a plebeian like most of us, you have no choice. On the other hand, why would a flight attendant come to regional to make $18/hr when Delta, United, and American mainline are hiring f/a's of the street? Better pay and better qol over all, even considering their long reserve times.

Think about it, would you rather have a trip with CAE-ROC-SYR overnights or ones with CDG, LHR, AMS, etc???

I think they are just having a genuinely hard time finding new gals/guys. I sincerly belive most f/a are comming to regionals because of they have local domiciles where they live in like nyc or orf... Or maybe they are just anti-social and want to work alone in a 200

im not thinking anything of it. The fact that they came to the pilot group for referrals means they are probably a little desperate for bodies. A more believable rumor to me is that no major is currently sitting in Appleton negotiating despite what they say. United wants no part of 50 seater anymore. American probably the same. Delta is giving 50 seat flying to endeavor, Alaska lol. We're gonna need to reinvent ourselves first if we want new flying.
