iheartcavs asked:


Hi I’m planning on taking a trip to San Fran in July. I’ve been there one other time and flew out of the San Jose airport. Don’t wanna do that again. My friend told me not to fly into the main SFO airport but I can’t remember why. There are several other airports listed for the San Francisco/bay area. What do you recommend? I will not have a car so I will need transportation from the airport to the hotel.
Thanks! I’d like to just fly into the main one - any reason not to?

Do you think American Airlines should definitely switch the Airbus 300-600 aircrafts for a newer kind?

Please let me know what you think about my question! I am an AA frequent traveler and I am concerned the Airbus 300-600 are getting a bit too old for such a distinguished airline to operate them!

What would be the process of going from flying Boeing to Airbus?

January 14th, 2012 | Posted in ATC   Comments Off
Pilot Mathematician Spaniard asked:


Genuine answers please :)?
I am 27, fly 737 but have spoken to pilots who fly Airbus A380 and I’ve also being in the flight deck of one and I think it is at the very top of every plane ever made.

I am willing to move long distance if needs be, even move coutry, if I was able to become an A380 pilot.

What would be the process starting from now?

Air Traffic Control: What is the best type of degree to earn at a university?

I am at a public university (on scholarship), so it is my only option.
I aspire to become an Air Traffic Controller and understand that after I earn my degree, I can apply for FAA training.

What degree(s) would (or would not) prepare me the most for ATC training/ type of job skill?

Information Technology
Accounting
Computer Science
Management
Public Administration
Radio - Television
Statistics
…or other(s)?

Thank you for your time!
Chris

Air traffic control in the US Army?

January 12th, 2012 | Posted in ATC   Comments Off
Chris asked:


My recruiter found a job for me, 15Q, air traffic control. That is what i have been wanting to do. I am a freshman in college, and would like to become an officer. The way it is though: i can do ROTC, and recieve a job as a mechanic in aviation, or join 11/10 (job closes) for active duty and do my job right away. Which is a better route? THANK YOU!
