Did Delta also end an era of luxurious "management pay" by 32.5 percent? I tend to think not..... "n+e+w+s" wrote in message news:pqg9p019nhi2h9ugk3in97plpga0ipan5n@news... November 12, 2004 http://www.nytimes.com Delta Pilots Vote to Accept 32.5% Pay Cut

Okay, all this nonsense about preflight briefers not knowing about TFRs -- well, it's not nonsense! I thought everybody on this group was just being, well, you know, "piloty," and complaining about how the FAA is lame. But I learned this weekend that it's true. I was taking a friend up for a Bay...

Thanks to advice from several people, I sold the Garmin Streetpilot that was given to me as a gift and now wish to 'convert' it into an aviation GPS. I'm debating a Lowrance Airmap 1000 (or possibly a 500) and am curious to hear opinions of happy/sad pilots who own it... I have read as many...

If the weather's good I'll be flying for business to look at a project in Bethany Beach, DE from wings, LOM this Friday. The only public airport nearby is Sussex Co, GED. There are a few private strips that are a little closer. I never flown into a private strip that wasn't listed for public...

Connect These Dots, Now Complete article at: http://www.humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=5792 "We should have secured the Mexican border." That could be the pitiful lament we hear from negligent U.S. officials if al Qaeda pulls off an attack on the United States using weapons of mass...

Did I hear correctly that there are age restrictions, for getting into Air Traffic Control? Max age? to get started? Thanks

I may need to ferry a J-3 this week. I need some specs: What's the fuel capacity, fuel burn rate and cruise settings? Thx VL

8:00 on FOX Last week a few very cool aviation stunts !!

Yesterday I saw a cargo jet (a major air express company) come to what seemed like a dead stop in midair as it was making its ascent. After about 20 - 30 seconds of hanging without dropping out of the sky, it continued climbing and apparently did not crash. There's been nothing about it in the...

Well, MP3 to be specific in the archives section of liveatc.net. http://www.liveatc.net/archive.php. go to KFRG on Nov 15 and choose the 1200-1230 file. A Mooney 84U is cleared to take-off at about 2 min 20 sec into the file. At 3 min 45 sec he says he has a problem with the engine and is "going...

My friend just became a 1/3 owner of a new Cirrus SR22-G2 and took another friend and I for a short hop down to Novato (Gnoss) from Santa Rosa (KSTS). What a "sport scar" compared to the old 172 M that I normally fly. I know that you all have your own opinions of the Cirrus, so I don't feel a need...

Anybody know of a "box", which I could you use to hook my iPod to my Headset? Earbuds plus Headset is too much cable hanging around... ;-) Cheers, jens PS: I've checked out those cellphone adapters, but they are just too expensive... --

Is it not possible to have buttons inside the cockpit that perform a set of checklist actions that pilots normally do at various phases of flight and save pilots that bother? I'd have thought it nice for a button to activate an electronic pre-flight check and report an...

Greetings everyone, Our club is looking into expanding its fleet. Most of the fixed costs associated with an airplane can be obtained from the insurance company and your favorite A&P. I seem to remember a website that published the operating costs associated with a great number of GA airplanes. ...

Any idea how much it might cost to build a simulator at home - say of a 747? Also, how good is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 for use on a desktop PC? What additional hardware would I require to act as a control column, rudder pedal, etc.? Inputs welcome, thank you. Ramapriya

My 12 year old daughter and I went up yesterday. There was a little confusion on the taxiway between a bonanza and an archer that we heard while departing. Nothing unusual. Both pilots were polite and both offered to get out of the other guy's way. My daugher heard the exchange differently. She...

As we were flying along yesterday, en route to a good lunch in a nearby town, it happened again. There I was, sitting comfortably at 3500 feet, as rock solid as I am right now, gazing down upon freshly harvested fields and newly barren trees. The sun was warm on my face, but the air was cool. ...

Not too far from layovers of which I have first hand knowlege. :-) Bob Moore PanAm (retired) The following letter is from the Qantas Flight Operations Newsletter. The letter is from a Captain answering his Chief Pilot's "request for further information". Sir,
