Woohoo! Looks like today is officially the first day of summer, according to the FAA.

2 AFPs in effect out there. Looks like the Chicago one isn't across a route that we fly very regularly. Unfortunately the link to the Kansas City FCA doesn't work.

I heard that in class today...but was told it will not take effect until after I have to take my EP/Limitations test. Lucky me.

what are the reserve times for JFK and CVG? And do they only fly the 1/200s out of jfk? I would imagine that they would be way shorter at JFK but would it be worth it to have a lower standard of living to get a line sooner? I have a class date of july 14 and when Art asked me and I told him JFK cause I have family in the area and also a few friends.

Reserve times are about the same for JFK/CVG, at least a year at this point. Who knows if that will change with all this hiring. Yes, only the 50 seater out of JFK.

ASA does this procedure as well, flaps ' encouraged ' not to be dropped before 200 kias to try and stem the tide of all the ' flap fail ' events. The 215 Limitations still exist, and can be used where operational neccessary.

Hi everyone! I just got hired by Comair. I have my memory items & limitations test this week (I’m so nervous, so wish me luck). I will be CVG based, so how long is reserve in CVG? Anyway, I am having problems getting to CVG airport and the training center, and was wondering if some of the Comair pilots could tell me how to get there. The I-75/I-275 split is really confusing for me and I always end up going the wrong way. I’m almost thinking about being JFK based, so I wouldn’t get lost, but how long is reserve in JFK? Can I just fly the CRJ-900 out of JFK? That would be cool. Thanks. Oh, I should have probably started a new thread. Sorry. LOL.

Blow up an engine and have a lot of brown paint for your nose.
