    Southwest "delays" ???

    If the Union says it was their pilots, they get sued for an “ illegal” work stoppage by management. So even if it is the pilots, the Union will still say it wasn’t, because THEY did not organize it.

    Bullish…. Story I am getting is that WN employees are hopping mad about the mandate. Remember where most of thier crews are from, and the HQ is, it isn’t the northeast. Pilot’s Union filed suit Friday Claiming this to be a violation of the CBA and the RLA. Employees who intend to retire...

    How hot is too hot to fly?

Besides engine temps, we try to baby the voltage regulator. I am told there may be a solution for that...

    affordable airplane storage
