  1. Well put Huggy! Truth is to fly part 121 for a major or regional airline you have to have to hold a current ATP certificate with a first class medical. That being said, you only really need to have the minimum qualifications (per the FAA, restricted or unrestricted) complete before you take your type rating checkride for the airline. The requirements that the general public see that airlines require are set up by an HR department. You're always going to hear of someone that "jumped the line" and got an interview because the knew someone in management without having an ATP. They still will have to meet the min FAA requirements for ATP. In the coming year the only way that all part 121 carriers are going to be able to get guys with ATPs are those who got them while at another airline. Not that I don't agree with Huggy about the ATP being a great professional credential. Those same HR people are going to be looking at guys with 3,000hr+ mil guys and no ATP next year if they haven't already. It's all kinda like getting a pilot slot in the Air Force. There are guys that have zero hrs and ratings while some are seasoned airlines guys with 2,000hrs+. Both get hired and are Lieutenants in the beginning.
  2. OK, that's a start. I was looking for a more specific reg or anyone that may have experience with this.
  3. When does the clock start for ACP eligibility? Case being a former NAV turned Pilot. Would it begin with NAV wings or Pilot?
  4. Someone needs to go document all the "Cadillac Artwork" to share before its gone forever!
  5. Rick D'Angelo Designated Pilot Examiner DPE SW-LIT-09 dpe.dangelo@gmail.com $50 For Commercial and all the type ratings $75 For Mil Comp CFI
  6. Would a fractured coronoid process keep someone off of flying status? My friend has seen two dentists and an oral surgeon with regard to this, they all said there is really nothing you can do except let it heal on its own. Which should take about 6 months. I know that he has trouble eating foods that require a lot of tearing, but other than that he still gets along with no other physical issues. But again is this something that would cause him to be placed DNIF and if so for how long?
  7. OK, besides the obvious that they really don't serve a practical use. Is there any regulation that says they can't be worn for moral? I would think that we would have more pride and bring back a tradition that has been put aside in our current generation?! We still wear leather jackets and the fighter community seems to think that its necessary to remove the "tampon pocket" on their flight suits.
  8. I know AFI 36-2903 leaves the wearing of scarves up to MAJCOM. By why are they no more? I think It was back in 2008 AETC brought the hammer down but I can't find any other restrictions that apply to ground duties?!
  9. So is there talk of hiring guys off the streets for this new sqd/wing?
  10. I know they are doing the school house thing now but what about an operational combat mission?!
  11. Does anyone know if there is any truth to the rumor of a combat coded reserve sqd being stood up at LRF? Possible a Reserve super squadron/Wing?
  12. Again this video is MIA, does anyone still have it? A Vimeo upload might allow it to stay alive!
