Re: United Airlines among the latest to charge overwieght Pax
Yes, they’ve up’d the standard weights, but I wonder if it is enough. I’d like to see airlines using actual weights. Stand on the pad to check in ... computer logs you in & invisibly sends your weight off to W&B world. In a perfect world using pax actual weights would not only be choice and the bes...

Re: United Airlines among the latest to charge overwieght Pax
agreed...its about time... I travel to the U.S. a lot... I'm 120 lbs, and on most airlines if my luggage weighs over 50 lbs I am charged an extra 50 dollars (that's the minimum charge)...

Re: I think i studied myself stupid...
But again, that's just a possibility so never take the excuse of the instructor to cover up an event that you're not proud of. I know it stings ! Of course it stings...but it was a practice exam...and the only real bummer is feeling as though you are ready, then not getting the mark needed to get t...

Re: I think i studied myself stupid...
Doing questions and sample exams isn't studying, in case you misunderstood the purpose of studying. I realize that the cpl wants you to know everything in more depth than the ppl...hence why i studied and studied and studied, i know how to study... i only started to do the mock exams a week ago jus...

Re: That English Proficiency test...
Having just done the proficiency test, i can honestly say the questions asked really have nothing to do with talking to atc...there were two questions were the examiner "pretended" to be ATC however the majority of the exam contained questions such as... "sooo you are taking a friend on a trip...the...

Re: Inglish Proficcincey Exam???
Has there been a fee associated with this exam? If so, what is it?? It just seems like a potential for a "cash grab"... As a very new pilot (just passed my checkride on sunday) I have been informed that I need to pass this english proficiency exam tomorrow morning before my school can issue my lice...
