Re: US debt crisis

The media has done a great job in demonizing the Tea Party. Have you ever read their principles and what they stand for? I bet most people haven't. And I would also bet most Americans would agree with the majority of those principles.

Ike, did you do this high altitude stall training in the sim or in the airplane?
In the airplane with 50 screaming passangers in the back :mrgreen:

Re: US debt crisis

It's just that I believe that the tea party may be slightly on the reactionary side, and while they may not openly say so, they still dislike people who are not their color. I can't really say anything about Obama's professional abilities or disabilities - he's just vastly popular in Europe, but we...

Re: Southwest Convertible.....

Here's a question for DP or FB: so you get an alarm in the cockpit indicating you are losing pressurization. Could you briefly describe the procedure in the cockpit? I'd imagine you put your masks on right away before you even find out if it is a faulty alarm. Then evaluate the situation...possible ...

Brazilia icing problem

Back in the mid to late 90's (if I remember correctly) there was an incident where a Brazilia airplane did a full roll in midflight over Florida due to icing. It landed
safely. Anybody remember that? Any info on the case # with the FAA?

Re: RJ Captain salary

For payscales of most US carriers, go here:

http://www.airlinepilotcentral.com
Good link. Thanks.

In average, how many hours a month do you (or an average pilot) fly per month? About 70-80? Also, how far in advance do you bid for your monthly trips?

Thanks for the answers.

RJ Captain salary

I was watching the Bachelor's finale with my better half last night. The guy is a captain for ASA (I think he's 31 years old) and it got me wonderin'...how much does your typical CRJ captain make? I know, I know, less than me. But seriously, what is the pay range?
