They specifically said +/-5%. I guess we'll have to find out which way it goes! Two new cities added to CVG; AUS and SAT. I havn't checked DLnet yet to see when and who will fly the routes.

 

AUS and SAT new cities? Or they're just bringing the back? I flew to SAT several times.

 

Yeah, what he said

 

That would be minus 5% each month.

 

That's just me being anal. The Denver weathermen call their airport DIA, but so do the weathermen in Dayton, Detroit, DesMoines, Duluth, and Washington.

If your audience is the people of Dayton, you can call it DIA or DTN or DAY or any cute little nickname you want. I get that.

However, we are not on Weatherman Central, this is Airline Pilot Central.

Maybe it's just me, but if you want to save time by using three letters to signify an airport when talking to a bunch of pilots, consider using the three letter code that a pilot would use.

As pilots, we put DEN into the FMS if we wish to navigate to or from Denver Int'l Airport. We put DEN in our logbook if we don't want funny looks when we get furloughed and go for an interview. We pull out the DEN approach plate when we want to land in Denver. We bid for DEN if we want to overnight in Denver.

Similarly, OIA is not Orlando Int'l Airport. Nor is it O'hare Int'l Airport, Oakland Int'l Airport, Ontario Int'l Airport, or Ottawa Int'l Airport.

As it turns out, OIA and DIA are both in Brazil. Comair and Compass do not fly there, but SuperPilotJesse probably has.

 

True

The only part of your post that was important...

 

Hey, "Saxman" congrats on the Eagle interview! No doubt you'll get the job, but won't you miss OH?

Was just on a Colgan thread, and can't seem to find what their mins. are (some complete tool keeps hijacking Colgan threads).

 

And if we want to fly from SAN (San Diego) to MSP (Minneapolis/St. Paul) via RCX (Rusk County, WI...150 miles east of MSP), we put all those in the FMS and take a nap

 

...or you could wind up landing on the taxi-way!

 

Wind Check?
