Nah, I'll go a step further and just call him out right now as BS, and I do fly the PC12 Check the numbers out, at 1k shy of gross, which is his most... "optimistic" weight mentioned, shot field takeoff, he couldn't make it out of that 1,000' strip, and these numbers are for PAVED strips, so it wou...

Pc12 we had to do it sometimes on the short strips wasn't really a big deal yeah the afm says not do it but when the alternative is going off the runway. I know what I'll pick I find it highly doubtful (to the point of being a virtual impossibility) that if the pertinent performance charts indicate...

Who cares.

Instead of trying to tear others towers down, work on building your own.

Demand a wage fitting your responsibilities, take it or leave it and let the free market decide.


I really don't give a crap what the CEO or the janitor makes.

So having a 250hr FO, how's that any diffent than just being single pilot?

Frankly might be safer, just fly the plane vs baby sit Jr. in the right seat plus fly the plane.

Also I am a professional... ,l I'll still protect the skin, tin and ticket If you are a professionnal then you ought to have integrity. Having integrity is doing the right thing even when the bosses aren't looking. This includes following rules and limitations. If you really want to keep your ticke...

Being Capt obvious here, but vastly depends on the corp.

Some make crap, some make VERY good money.

I don't mean a "oh chit" last minute climb, I'm talking picking a cruise altitude that worked for the real estate he was planning on flying over and climbing to that altitude on his INITIAL takeoff and climb. And I don't believe for a second that beaver was hitting its service ceiling at a few thous...

I'm working in the US right now, so there really isn't any shortage of qualified pilots down here, just a lack interest to work for crap pay, I've seen more than a few companies raise their pay closer to an approaote level based on the job/responsibility of a working pilot, but they still have a goo...

Ahh

Just be sure to recalculate your performance numbers over there, due to the larger amount of freedom in the air you will find your plane and also your brain will preform better in AK.

What was your weight on landing?

You had to go into beta range, wheels down, 40 flaps, in a PC12??

What the heck were you landing on?

He actually has a rather formidable education, and has made enough money that ether he is the luckiest man alive or might have a few neurons to rub together.

I'm not a huge Trump fan, but gotta also give credit where credit is due

I'm calling bullshit on that. Trump University maybe. I am surprised at the low number of four year aviation degrees. I'd have though there would be a lot of those. Not surprised at the high number of non aviation bachelor degrees though. I have a graduate degree from a good university. It contribu...

So, instead of saying "no" when something cannot be done within the sandbox given to a pilot (within what is in the AFM and regulations), pilots will just, off the cuff, execute expressely prohibited maneuvers without proper airworthiness authority? We want to be called "Professionnals" but we can'...

I'm in the outskirts and a long ways from a major city, though I do often fly people in need from my area to some of the biggest cities out there. BTW the natives get way more than they should, by "helping them" they no longer need to fend for them selves and ultimately they are the architects of th...

Thinking a communist third world country with MAJOR human rights issues is Mecca for anything is laughable. I mean there are plenty of other chit holes where you can make more money, take the Middle East for example, and at least over there's it's honest enough to not pretend to be anything differe...

That's be fun if you have some friends to bring with you.

Yeah me too. People will still love us in spite of our lack of liberal arts degrees.
