    Which ipad has the best GPS receiver?

    Is there any reason to get cellular service added to the ipad if it has a cellular/gps chip already, and you have a Stratus? Asking for a friend (me)..

    Need some help choosing an online ground school

    I really enjoyed the king courses. Just make sure you print off all the materials at the beginning. I spent a couple lessons frustrated that I was supposed to mark figures on a digital chart, then realized that the expectation was that I print and use a pencil. Whoops.. I'm not very smart.

    Android or IPad

    Yeah.. it is seriously impressive stuff. The display and responsiveness are unreal. I just need to actually buy foreflight, buy a case, buy a battery pack, buy a stratus.. it seems like the hunt for accessories never ends!

    I also got engaged at Lake Placid- in the little area in front of mirror lake with the gazebo/stage. Next to EMS.

    What's Your Job Like?

    I'm trying to figure out what you do from this post and I can't. How do you like living in the city? If you don't, do you live in Jersey??

    My brother-in-law's wife's brother in law (how's that for a relation to me) works for Southwest as a ticket agent. Says he works "in the industry". Is that the way ticket agents usually refer to it?

    American Airlines scheduling problems

    did they really?? Wow- good for the union actually. They are right about that- too easy for the company to not honor that arrangement.

    Video: Lake Placid flight.

    Agreed- thanks for the information! I didn't know they offered a shuttle, or if there were good taxis/uber around. I have been using the ability to fly to lake placid to sell my wife on the PPL- so the gouge is helpful!

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    I had another lesson this morning. Was informed that the DPE we were planning on using is going to be going south for the winter. I am moving to South Carolina for a few months, so I was given the option to either 1. Do my checkride with a "harder" DPE, 2. Take a checkride with a different...

    Is the time away from family as bad as people say?

    Did you have good VFR weather the whole time? Nice!

    So, student pilots.. Who are we and where do we stand?

    It will only continue to become an issue, my friend. Suggest taking out a loan/new credit card. Other alternative is to delay, but lets be honest- none of us want to do that. It sucks..

    American Airlines scheduling problems

    yeah- I think it got out via the union, when AA asked the union to assist. Instead of quietly assisting, I'm betting they sent out a mass notice and somebody (upset) leaked. Only speculative though.

    I can't believe they let this get to the press. What were they thinking? Just quietly fix it..

    Well you're right. It's actually pretty hideous. But I would think looking ugly is a pre requisite for cargo aircraft. I'm sure it makes people think "must have been designed by engineers".

    Unusual Attitudes by Martha Lunken

    Hi POA team. A couple of months ago I read through Martha Lunken's book, "Unusual attitudes". Although this book is really just a combination of all Martha's columns (and those of us who read flying mag have read many of them already), I still thought that this book was particularly good (and...

    Question for the Airline Pilots

    Airline pilots: Do you see this industry still being good to get into for the next 10 years? I won't be able to start getting the majority of my ratings until 2020.. I'm worried about missing the boat.
