Who cares?
Can we have Southwest's scope section? |
Doesn't one of the larger fractional jet operators use the ipad in all phases of flight now?
Oh, and RA doesn't get to use a company GPS to track where I am/when I get on airport property....I that'd be a no-go for me, and I'd hope the Union would go to war over that issue. (With the newer reps I'm sure there would be a big fight....Last batch, maybe/maybe not.....) |

Agreed-how is it that EJM is putting them in hundreds of jets to fly 91/135 to be used in all phases of flight and they can't be used 121? Something strange is afoot at the Circle K.
That is the current rule. There are hundreds of difference between part 121 and part 91. |

Just read the Council 1 Update, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:
By now you are aware Delta has placed a bid posting that will close on Monday, June 20, at 12:00 EDT. The posting contains the addition of captains on the A330 in ATL, SEA, and DTW, but it also contains the loss of the entire A330 base in MSP. With this base closure, MSP will lose 34 captains ranging in seniority from 49 to 1939 and 67 first officers ranging from 2026 to 8777 on the system seniority list. Even though some see this as a positive bid, I would have a MD in just in case. |
I'm guessing this is not a "pass through cost."
US FAA said it is proposing a $425,000 civil penalty against Atlanta-based Atlantic Southeast Airlines, a SkyWest Inc. subsidiary, for allegedly operating two Bombardier CRJ regional jets when they were not in compliance with FAA regulations. The FAA charged that ASA, flying as Delta Connection, “failed to complete required inspections of the two aircraft after they were struck by lightning. One strike took place on July 21, 2008 and the other on July 23, 2008.” FAA also alleged that “ASA operated the two aircraft on a total of 13 revenue passenger flights between July 22 and 24 when they were not in compliance with regulations.” FAA regulations require the carrier to conduct and document the detailed check for lightning strike damage mandated in the airline’s aircraft maintenance manual. ASA has 30 days to respond to the agency. Right now they are REALLY BUSY, lots of 200% pay, memos from management begging pilots to come to work (is it a violation of DL policy to post internal memos from other Corporations which are 50% of the Delta brand :eek: ). Delta has apparently asked the regionals to do MUCH MORE flying than planned and they are having a hard time covering all the work. FWIW with 200% pay, quite a few CRJ200 Skippers have the potential to out earn some Delta Captains in 2011. |
nevermind, found the answer

So who flips the bill for ASA to pay it's pilots 200% pay to do flying for delta in replacement of delta pilots to the point they're making supposedly more than some Delta Captains???
Is this a cost that ASA eats from the cost plus profit we pay them or in the end is Delta paying ASA in some way to pay regional pilots more than Delta pilots? And if regionals are so great for Delta pilots then how is it great that they're being fined for flying Delta passengers in aircraft not in compliance with the FAA and grossly understaffed? Such they're staffing issues are frustrating passengers as they struggle to do all of the flying being shifted their way- despite that supposedly 50 seaters disappear every month? |
