Who was the pilot on for AA who,without authorization, drove to a gate after 9 hours on the ground?
Saturday, September 20th, 2008Dan M asked:
Just recently, an American Airlines plane, bound for Dallas, was diverted to Austin because of weather in Dallas. The air traffic controllers, rather than giving them a gate, kept them on the tarmac for 9 hours in order to keep other planes landing and taking off. Toilets overflowing, water and food gone, passengers complaining, the pilot decided to go to a gate without authorization. What a great move. Who is that pilot? Do you know anything about him or her?

When filing an IFR flight plan, what is the final point a pilot files to?
Monday, September 15th, 2008labockja asked:
In the route of flight section of a flight plan, what is typically the final point the pilot requests and are there a specific reasons for choosing certain points? Does the pilot file to an initial approach fix of the instrument procedure he hopes to use?
In the route of flight section of a flight plan, what is typically the final point the pilot requests and are there a specific reasons for choosing certain points? Does the pilot file to an initial approach fix of the instrument procedure he hopes to use? Also, this also applies to the first point listed in the “route of flight” block of the flight plan. Assuming there is no DP, would I choose the closest fix in my direction of flight as my first waypoint? Also, assuming I have no GPS (no “direct” capabilities), can an intersection be my first waypoint if I would like radar vectors immediately after takeoff to that intersection? I know these are a lot of questions, but I’d rather just make it one subject.

Becoming an airline pilot is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m 18 and about to graduate from HS. I’m confused about how to get started with my career as a pilot. I’ve talked to my parents about the military but they strongly suggest i took the civilian route. Any help or advice will be very helpful. Thank You.
