Rekinom posted:Congrats, man. Any idea who's next? According to my e-mails, the Spirit guys are going through some issues. Pretty sure envoy is going to take a swing at it. The contract is good for a few years but if all the new hires suddenly start going to Edeavor the company will probably play ball. Of course with things being the way they are who knows what's going to happen. In the meantime congrats to Endeavor. You guys deserve it.

LOL at regional FO’s making more than a widebody FO in certain airlines who sue their pilot group so they can stall and delay contract negotiations I had my first “bad” landing in a 767, firm enough that two oxygen masks dropped. It was a complete surprise as speed and flare were on point and I have only had awesome ego boosting landings for the past two years. But going into the NAP airport is a steep approach into a sloping runway, with a heavy jet downward momentum is a bitch. Next time I fly there I’ll add an extra 5kts to VRef and shallow it out before the flare. Animal fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Nov 24, 2017 |

[quote="E4C85D38" post="478843981"] Huh. The Ryanair excuse I see... I was off on a weeks annual leave last week. First day back the captain fucks up the report time and is an hour late. Set everything up just have him jump on board and by some miracle we push nearly on time. Door light goes off on the overhead on the takeoff roll so we reject just after 80 knots and taxy in, it gets "fixed" and off we go. The loving thing goes off again on finals at the destination and I get to land in an 18 knot crosswind in blowing snow worrying about that. Two days later working with a different guy he has a low low go around because we hit wake turbulence. I'm sure it wasn't but it felt like we were pushed practically over the grass. Nice welcome back to work!

A flight school's turboprop crashed on approach to SFB. Sounds like it's Delta Connection Academy (whatever they're called now)'s King Air 90 they used for Chinese students to get turbo time: http://www.wesh.com/article/authorities-investigating-reports-of-plane-crash-on-lake-harney/14391075 E- poo poo.

Here's an instrument approach procedure question (again). If an IAP has been NOTAM'd "NA," like this VOR approach, why do they still publish plate updates for it? !FDC 7/5759 VGC IAP HAMILTON MUNI, Hamilton, NY. VOR-A, AMDT 4A... PROCEDURE NA. 1708191116-1803311116EST http://aeronav.faa.gov/d-tpp/1713/05788va.pdf#nameddest=(VGC)

1708191116-1803311116EST There's a end time to the NOTAM so unless they extended it the approach will be valid again next April. Based on this NOTAM it looks like the VOR is currently out of service. They may authorize the approach again once it's fixed. !BUF 11/183 GGT NAV TACAN AZM OUT OF SERVICE 1711291527-1712152000EST

I'm guessing it's also partially bureaucratic in nature, i.e. if you remove a published approach entirely it's a pain in the rear end to add it again if you ever want to or need to. I know the non-GNSS approaches into CYCG were NOTAM'd unavailable for months, maybe even years, before finally being removed a few months ago. It's a shame because, while they were comically awful compared to the now-available GNSS approach (which is, itself, still extremely dodgy), they were good for training purposes in the sim because where else are you going to have to understand and brief an NDB/LOC/DME-to-circling approach? EDIT: I misremembered, it was LOC/NDB/NDB or LOC/DME. Still a bit tricky compared to the average non-precision approach. PT6A fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Dec 11, 2017 |

That aside, if it was important enough they could have offset the ILS course up to 3 degrees (or more if they renamed it to LDA/GS) but that would make no difference to how you fly the approach. It's "fly the NDB course till you cross the lead radial off TUS, then start intercepting the localizer" and whether you ever reach the NDB wouldn't effect that.

I agree that "VFR only" is the easiest solution to this problem. e.pilot posted:Or how about a DME arc to an inbound NDB course? This seems like an airport a CFII or, more likely, FAA Examiner sends you to when he really wants to be a dick on a lesson/checkride. I wonder if controllers find ways to vector pilots to make it as painless as possible, though I guess the IAF is necessary and just happens to be basically right next to the NDB.

Alaskan airports are kinda cheating in this regard, but how about "Successful go-around improbable if initiated past the MAP". Why is it improbable? Well, the airport is on the side of a mountain look at the difference between THRE and field elevation and you're flying directly at the mountain as your final approach course. Also there's no MAP specifically marked. e: bonus- HOPE YOU LIKE DME ARCS! a patagonian cavy fucked around with this message at 19:41 on Dec 13, 2017 |

I swear, if I can find the next pilot that calls field in sight, or reports the IF/IAF for an approach, waits for me to puke the incredibly elaborate approach clearance/radar service termination/closure of flight plan/frequency change phraseology all over my frequency, and then IMMEDIATELY requests to cancel IFR, I’m going to hunt him down and piss in his mouth.

NYC Pilots: does your pay reflect the insane cost of living there? I’ve been in the area for a few days and have always loved the idea of moving to New York City. How unreal would it be for a 2000 total 1500 jet 500 jet PIC pilot to actually be able to live there and not die a poor husk?

It doesn't matter where you live, pay is the same. You'll benefit in increased relative seniority because NYC is not a desirable place for pilots to be based. Many senior pilot choose to be based elsewhere. That means better schedules and quicker upgrades than at other bases. Regional pay has changed a lot in the past couple years. You'll make 60k+ at Endeavor your first year. Just do what everyone else does in New York and get a roommate. Live in Brooklyn or Queens. If you're in your 20's or early 30's you'll have a good time. Plus you'll be easily be able to pick up overtime at 150 or 200 percent basically anytime you want.

It’s worth noting that New York has a state income tax, which is a rarity in the south, and New York City also has a municipal income tax. Random internet search shows an additional 8% combined tax hike for a single individual with a $60k gross income. About 5% if you live in the state, but outside of NYC.

Anyone have any strong opinions on living in MIA vs PHL? I do like Florida's no state income tax... but drat it is pricey. I like that PHL has the ability to take public transportation to the airport, but I'm leaving the midwest... I'd rather not go straight to the same weather.
