I wonder how many forum participants can honestly say they have flown over long ocean routes using a sextant for navigation. We are dwindling in numbers. Makes me wonder what will happen when the GPS system goes down.

That being said, all the planes at DL have inertial nav as well. No biggie.

Trying to figure this out from the PWA but looking for carification... does a seat freeze began as soon as the AE results are released, or does it really start when you convert to the new category? I THINK "awarded" must mean when the results show up but I'm not sure...

[/QUOTE]The Call In Honest policy is to be used only a few times in a pilot's career, and only after a well planned commute goes to pot, which this summer, was a weekly occurrence. Hardly a free ticket to work, and only used at the company's discretion. You are still on your own as a commuter.

Can you fly a trip from a month on a regular line into a month on reserve?...those days would be on-call days in the follow-on month...

Umm how many airlines stock a spare sextant in the cockpit? Do you carry one in your flight kit?
