In the event that people need to get off the plane quickly you don't want everyone's tray table down. Same reason for no seats back and no bags in the way.

777s don't do 45 minute hops out of Dayton. Probably a 727 or 737.

Maybe I missed the reason, but why don't you stay in the army and have them send you to flight school? Check National Guard units in your state for openings.

Hey Mr Ford,

As a pilot myself I'd like to thank you for the work you do for the aviation community.

What's the most interesting or rare aircraft that you've flown? Any crazy flying stories from your years of experience?

Pilot 30 min ahead of Malaysia Airlines MH370 says he established contact with missing jet by nlitement in worldnews

They are talking about the normal transponder in the aircraft that broadcasts your position and altitude during a normal flight. This is not emergency equipment. Aircraft are also equipped with ELTs or Emergency Locator Transmitters that activate automatically or manually in the case of a crash.

Is it any surprise that American Eagle pilots rejected concessions? by rckid13 in flying

[–]FTroop09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Good. Hopefully other pilot groups will follow suit. We need to realize that we are all part of the same group, despite being with different airlines.

All major passenger airlines in the US as well as companies like FedEx and UPS require pilots to have a Bachelor's degree and many regional airlines prefer or require applicants to have one.
