but I did stay at a holiday in express during my Ameriflight stint.

Is that an upgrade from the previous lodging accommodations?

Many of the 1900s do not, and some are not approach capable. If you can't find an airport without a moving map you won't make it through training regardless.

I completely agree that potential pilots coming here should be fully capable of /A navigation and very proficient. But honestly GPS has evolved now to a place where while I am capable of navigating /A, a WAAS enabled GPS just gives a massive safety margin I personally would prefer. And as we move towards NextGen there are already some airports /A aircraft can’t go into because waypoints on procedures are RNAV instead of VOR/ADF.

honestly, Ameriflight is the only place I’ve worked where I actually had a layover hotel. All my other jobs only required hotels during training and TDY. I guess I’ve been fortunate if being home every night is the goal. I mostly stayed at Best Westerns or Red Lions while at AMF. Quality varies greatly by location.This was circa 2010-2012

In the old days, I would call you Captain Obvious. But not any more. I have seen some pretty dumb questions.

Standing at a gate, with the large number Gate C7 posted on the wall. Asked where they can get to Gate C7. You are here. At Gate C7. Yes, I know, But I need to know how do I get to the Gate C7, my plane leaves in a half hour.

Bases/Airframes

Can anyone direct me toward the information about which aircraft are based where? The website and APC lists domiciles, but not aircraft associated with them.
