Coast Flight Training facilities expand to Texas, Transitioning military pilots for a civilian career at Envoy Air/American Airlines

Envoy Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines, is happy to announce that our partner school, Coast Flight Training, has opened a new

facility in San Marcos, Texas. As part of its Rotor Transition Program, Envoy has teamed with Coast Flight Training to help train military helicopter pilots for a transition to an airline career.

Envoy’s Rotor Transition Program is designed to help helicopter pilots gain fixed-wing training and ratings to meet FAA requirements by using funds from VA benefits and Envoy financial contributions. Coast Flight Training will train pilots for approximately 90 days before they officially begin First Officer training with Envoy.

Now that Coast Flight Training has expanded to Texas, more military helicopter pilots will have the opportunity to begin a fulfilling career as a civilian airline pilot.

“We are very pleased to be opening a Coast location in San Marcos, where we have been welcomed with open arms by the City, Greater San Marcos Partnership, and in particular Texas Aviation Partners,” said Bryan Simmons, President of Coast Flight Training. “They created a very positive business environment for us to invest here,

At 265,000-square-feet, the new $277 million space is more than 100,000 square feet larger than the already existing Terminal C, offering a more

comfortable and lavish concourse-to-gate experience for United’s customers. Aircraft enthusiasts will enjoy the sweeping tarmac views courtesy of the floor-to-ceiling concourse windows, and all travelers will relish the expansive gate-lounge areas, world-class retail shops and fresh, locally inspired dining options.

“This new terminal is truly befitting Houston’s hometown airline,” United president Scott Kirby said, “and just like Houston, we’re proud to call this gorgeous new space home. Everywhere you look in Terminal C – from the food choices to the modern designs to the relaxed surroundings – you’ll notice the attention to detail and the innovative thinking that went into creating this facility.”

United has served Houston for more than 70 years. From its hub at George Bush Intercontinental Airport, United and United Express offer nearly 500 daily flights to more than 170 destinations around the world, including top business and leisure markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas. The Houston hub is United’s premier gateway to Latin America, serving 52 nonstop destinations across Latin America and the Caribbean. United is also one of Houston’s largest employers, with more than 14,000

Houston-based employees.

OTG will oversee the culinary and retail operations in the new terminal (as well as those in Terminal B South and Terminal E), introducing an array of sophisticated and contemporary amenities. United’s Terminal C North will be home to several unique eateries created by some of the region’s most renowned chefs, including a taqueria by Chef Roland Laurenzo, a Neapolitan-style pizza concept imagined by Chef Ryan Pera, Chef John Nguyen’s Vietnamese-Cajun fusion eatery, a Panini bar designed by Chef Monica Pope and a Houston-centric tavern by the James Beard Award-winning Chef Chris Shepherd. Aside from taste and quality, OTG’s concepts are also known for their tech-enhanced hospitality, driven by OTG’s award-winning and iPad based flo® tech, and OTG’s focus on locally sourced farm-to-table ingredients.

“We couldn’t be more proud of this partnership with United and the program we’ve developed for C-North,” said Rick Blatstein, OTG CEO. “In sourcing some of Houston’s most celebrated culinary talent, designing fully immersive spaces and implementing leading-edge tech, we’ve ensured a world-class airport experience, built for the United traveler.”

Geographic breakdown:

• About $62 million in annual bonuses — more than 60 percent of the total — is being paid to Alaska and Horizon employees in the Puget Sound area

• $14 million is being paid to employees in the Portland, Oregon area

• $9 million is going to employees throughout the state of Alaska

• $9 million is going to employees throughout the state of California

Starting this year, Virgin America employees are included in Alaska’s PBP program. Alaska closed its acquisition of Virgin America in December 2016, with the goal of creating a national footprint and an unparalleled capability to serve the traveling needs of people living on the West Coast. Together, the airlines offer more flights to more destinations from the West Coast than any other airline.

Employees of Alaska Air Group companies Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air are receiving $100 million in bonuses today, following Wednesday’s record fourth

quarter and record full-year earnings announcement. For most employees, this equates to more than 8 percent of their annual pay in 2016.

The company’s annual bonus, called Performance Based Pay (PBP), is determined by meeting or exceeding specific company-wide goals for safety, customer satisfaction, cost control and profit. For the eighth year in a row, employees will enjoy a payout of about an additional month’s pay.

“We know it is our incredibly hard-working employees who truly make our airline the best in the industry, and we’re thrilled to be able to say thank you with a bonus for outstanding performance,” said Alaska Airlines CEO Brad Tilden.

The PBP bonus is in addition to the approximately $15 million in 2016 operational bonuses that employees earned for achieving monthly on-time and customer satisfaction goals. The combined monthly and annual 2016 bonuses paid to employees totals $115 million.

Telluride’s Main Street features Victorian architecture and colorful storefronts while Mountain Village, a pedestrian-friendly alpine enclave, is home to a variety of boutiques, restaurants, and lodging options including Lumière, Colorado’s most intimate and luxury boutique property with ski-in/ski-out access.

“The Jet Linx cornerstone is about offering a personalized private jet experience with added value at every turn,” said Jamie Walker, President & CEO of Jet Linx. “Through the Elevated Lifestyle program, we’re able to provide our members and aircraft owners with exclusive

benefits and highly curated experiences that reflect the same level of customization that is at the core of our business.”

Jet Linx also increased its fleet by three additional aircraft in January, bringing the total from 82 to 85 aircraft under management, up 39 aircraft from the previous year.

Donnelly, a dedicated Jet Linx team member of seven years and previous the Director of Fleet Management for Jet Linx, has been promoted to lead the new department as its Vice President.

The newly formed Revenue Management Department will lead the Charter and Fleet Optimization departments and focus on expanding both teams to ensure the best revenue management practices for the two departments. “Our commitment to growth in 2017 is underscored by this reorganization of our executive management.

Mesa Airlines, Inc. announced on Feb. 10, 2017 plans to expand its partnership with United Airlines with the addition of 12 new Embraer 175

aircraft. These aircraft will bring Mesa’s E175 fleet count to 60 and the Company’s total number of large regional jets to 145. Mesa’s United Express fleet will now total 80 aircraft, including 20 CRJ700s.

“We are delighted, once again, to extend and expand our partnership with United Airlines with the addition of 12 new Embraer 175 aircraft,” said Chairman and CEO Jonathan Ornstein. “We appreciate United’s confidence and will continue our focus on providing the highest levels of customer service and reliability in the industry.”

Since United’s E175 program launched in June 2014, Mesa added 48 E-Jets to its United Express hub in Houston, with every aircraft in service on time or ahead of schedule.

“We have grown our E-Jet fleet from 0 to 60 in record time and understand the importance of both top-notch performance and low cost operations,” said Mesa’s Chief Operating Officer John Selvaggio. “Combining the two, Mesa has become the fastest growing U.S. air carrier and the airline of choice for growth in the regional industry.”

Mesa has created more than 2,000 jobs over the past three years, and believes there are significant opportunities to continue this growth and provide thousands of additional careers for some of our country’s most promising pilots, flight attendants and mechanics. Unfortunately, regional airlines face new, burdensome federal regulations threatening both the

industry itself and small U.S. cities and towns, most of which have seen reduced service levels or have lost air service altogether. Mesa is hopeful changes will soon

Despite these restrictive policies, Mesa’s steady growth, building on the Company’s partnerships with both United and American Airlines, has helped Mesa create and provide opportunities for advancement and job security for its employees in hubs across the United States.

The delivery of the 12 additional aircraft is scheduled to begin in May 2017 and will create more than 500 new commercial aviation career opportunities. For more information and to apply, go to www.mesa-air.com.

Additionally, Mesa pilot candidates are eligible for up to $42,100 in incentive compensation during the first 4 years of employment as a First Officer.

• $10,000 paid after the completion of training if you choose the E-Jet Aircraft

MILLION-AIR Written by: Andy Garrison, MBA, CFP®

To survive and live the life you want, you need to do two things: build significant wealth and manage the unique risks you face as a professional pilot.

The good news is that building significant wealth is a science, which means that everyone – including you – can do it! 5 proven principles that lead to significant wealth

There are proven principles that, when followed, lead you to build significant wealth. Each of these principles has stood the test of time and has been used by the most financially successful people. The five principles are:

1. Believe you can do it2. Think exponentially3. Increase your value and your income4. Get to where you can save 30%5. Save and invest wisely

Let’s break each one down.Principle 1 – believe you can do it

If you don’t believe you can do something, you won’t take the required actions to accomplish what you set out to do, sabotaging yourself in the process. This principle holds true whether you are getting ready to land at a new airfield or you are trying to build wealth.

When you believe it’s possible, you start seeing solutions and opportunities everywhere you look. Once you believe that you can build significant wealth, your mind will start to notice and create opportunities to turn it into a reality. Principle 2 – think exponentially

Thinking exponentially refers to multiplying the results you think you need by 10. Most people fall short of their goals because they take either too little action or the wrong types of action. Thinking exponentially makes sure you’re taking the action required to build the wealth you need.

For example, if you think you need to build up $1,000,000, multiply it by 10 and set your goal at $10,000,000. Doing so opens a whole new world of thinking and solutions.

You begin to come up with opportunities and actions that you simply wouldn’t have come up with by thinking smaller. When you realize that you are targeting 10 times the result, you find different answers that propel you further.

Will you hit your exponential goal? Maybe or maybe not. Either way, you will be a lot further along than if you just aimed for your “normal goal.”Principle 3 – increase your value and your income

Income is the foundation to building significant wealth, and the greater your income, the shorter your “leg” to financial freedom and millionaire status.

March 2017 | 17

How do you increase your income in a heavily regulated and seniority-based career track? You develop your value and income streams outside of flying.

Focus on increasing your value, skills, knowledge, and ability to serve the markets you’re passionate about. The more value you provide to the market, the more income you can command.

When your income starts far exceeding your expenses, you’re not only better protected financially, you’re accelerating your journey to being a millionaire. Principle 4 – get to where you can save 30% of your income

The average savings rate in America (among those that are actually saving) has hovered around 5% for many years. If you want to build significant wealth, you need to save far above average and target putting away 30% of your income.

For most, getting to where you can save 30% of your income will require you to think bigger. Waiting on seniority to increase or a transition to the left seat or the majors doesn’t put you in control. Take control and find ways to increase the income you can save. Principle 5 – save and invest wisely

Once you’re saving 30% of your income, you’ll quickly realize you need that money to start earning money for you. You do this by saving and investing wisely.

First, build up a cash “reserve” to protect you for when things go wrong. After you have a comfortable reserve in place, begin investing your money to generate growth and income for you.

When you begin saving and investing, it is not the time to “hit it big.” You want to keep it simple, low cost, and broad-based. If you are not confident in your investing ability, either learn what you need to know or get help from an expert.

Over time, you’ll see that your money is earning income itself. When your money is earning more than you are, you’ve reached financial freedom!Wrapping up

Building wealth is a science, and everyone, including you, can follow proven principles to build the wealth you need to survive and live the life you want.

These principles work for everyone that follows them. In addition, they build on each other. You can’t save and invest wisely if you’re not saving, and you can’t save 30% of your income if you’re not focused on bringing more income in. To bring more income in, you need to think exponentially and believe that you can.

Follow these principles and you’ll be on your way to millionaire status! Have questions? Write in to Aero Crew News or email me and I’ll make sure to answer each.

Food Bites

The Ultimate Chicken and Waffle Sandwich!

Written by: Craig Pieper

Les 3 Brasseurs, Montreal

www.3brasseurs.ca514-788-9788

Chicken and Waffles. Photo taken by Craig Pieper

I recently had the pleasure of staying downtown in Montreal and my First Officer, Ryan, guided me to this great place called Les 3 Brasseurs. 3 Brasseurs is at the corner of Rue Saint-Catherine and Rue Crescent and it was about a 10-minute walk from our hotel. While the temperature was -12 degrees Celsius (10* F) we still wanted to venture out for a cold beer and some good food.

The streets and sidewalks were covered with a dirty slush mix and my only thought was, these shoes need to go back in my bag later, not cool. Regardless, we trekked on to this destination that Ryan had insisted we go to. We got to the restaurant around 4:30 PM and the evening crowd had not yet rolled in. We took two empty seats at the bar and immediately were handed newspaper like menus.

After a couple of onsite made craft brews I decided to order some food. Being the adventures food eater that I am, I asked the very friendly and attractive bartender, Claudia, what is the best thing on the menu here. She immediately went to the Chicken and Waffles. The menu describes it as, “Buttermilk marinated chicken dusted with seasoned flour and fried, crisp smoked bacon, tomato, lettuce, red onion & mayo sandwiched between two sweet Belgian waffles.” Seeing that it was new to the menu and it was created by one of the employees there, I figured it was worth a try.

Before I ordered this monster of a sandwich, Ryan chimed in and mentioned the last time he was here, his Captain almost ordered it, but didn’t. Instead he found a Thai food restaurant and was sorely disappointed. With that I quickly order one for myself. Danny if you are reading this, next time, order the Chicken and Waffles!

This beast of a sandwich looks as good as it taste. There’s a very distinct taste of maple syrup in the Belgian waffle sandwich that holds the perfectly breaded and seasoned fried chicken breast. The mayo provided is also mixed on site with mustard that added a perfect mix to this already tasty sandwich. Of course, there’s nothing better than a great sandwich and a good beer to wash it down. I went with their Stanley Stout.

As always, please enjoy any type of alcoholic beverage responsibly.

Safety Matters

A.S.A.P.

Written by: Scott Stahl

“Email Your Safety Thoughts To [email protected]

In the last issue we discussed the NASA ASRS reporting system in detail and discussed how it allowed, for the first time, data collection regarding potential safety issues and

trends that didn’t necessarily result in an accident and require an investigation to figure out what happened in the accident; so that regulations or accepted practices could be updated accordingly.

The ASRS tool proved to be very effective for the FAA because it allowed them to analyze trends and identify problems using standard statistical methods, but more importantly, it allowed them to see potential trends before they resulted in an accident rather than the historical norm, which was after the fact.

Since one of the common realities of accidents is that most of the causal factors in any accident have occurred many times before, but not all at the same time, which allowed the previous accidents to be avoided; this analysis of factors became critical to moving aviation safety to the next level. However, due to its very widespread implementation (covering anybody who might file an ASRS) and a potential lack of participation if the event was undetected by other parties (as in the case of no ATC involvement), it was soon realized that there might be a better way to implement the same concept at a more specific level.

After seeing the effectiveness of ASRS, the FAA quickly set to work on a more formal reporting system specifically designed for operators in an effort to enhance the identification of trends that might lead to a major aviation disaster. A good example of this type of disaster might be a runway over-run as a result of an unstable approach caused by excessive speed, and in fact, there were several of this type of incident in the years preceding the release of the ASAP program. The thought process of the safety teams at the time was that if there was one accident as a result of an unstable approach, there must me many other such incidents that didn’t result in an accident and thus went undetected. Indeed, after ASAP’s implementation, it was found that this was in fact true and that for every incident that occurred there were usually hundreds of similar events that occurred prior but didn’t result in an accident or incident.

On January 8th, 1997 the FAA released Advisory Circular 120-66 laying the foundation for what would become the modern ASAP system. The actual implementation of the system was fairly complex for the air carriers, but was functionally very straight forward and easy to understand for the people who would be using it on a daily basis.

ASAP formally became a program that was outlined by the operator (an airline for instance) and then was agreed upon by the FAA through a Memorandum of Understanding or MOU.

Once the MOU was codified with the FAA, the specific ASAP program for that operator became operational and ASAP became a formal part of the way the operator conducted business.

The premise of ASAP is very similar to ASRS, in that it is a formal data collection system used to identify problems and trends and pro-actively address issues prior to them becoming an accident in order to improve the level of safety.

Also similar to ASRS, data tracking and classification tools had to be developed in order to track and catalogue the reported data so that it could be used effectively, although this doesn’t necessarily affect the people reporting to ASAP.

Also similar to ASRS, ASAP provides some level of protection for those reporting issues in order to encourage widespread participation, which maximizes the level of effectiveness of an ASAP program.

So how does an ASAP program work? Most people who have reported through ASRS or ASAP know that whenever something happens that should be reported, they file a report and they get a series of letters and responses back either telling them they need to do something (remedial training, testing, or other assigned work) to close the case, or in most cases, the case is simply closed with some feedback on how it could have been prevented. In very rare cases, there is some enforcement action on the part of the FAA, but that will be discussed later in the article. While this seems simple enough, many people probably wonder what is behind the ASAP curtain and what happens to that report when they file it.

First, ASAP will have guidelines for reporting. In order to encourage maximum participation and in exchange for the FAA’s agreement of protection under the ASAP program, there is a window that is considered for “timely reporting” of events. This will vary by program, but will often resemble a 24-hour period after the end of a trip in the case of a pilot, for instance. If any reports are filed within this defined window, then the reports will not be excluded from ASAP on the basis of timeliness. There are some allowances for filing outside of this window, but it should be noted that if it is determined that the person had knowledge of the event and it was not filed in a timely manner, it may be excluded from ASAP protection. It is always best to file reports as soon as practical and within the time-line prescribed for inclusion.

Once the report is filed it will become either a sole-source report, or a non-sole source report. Sole-source just means that it was the only report filed on the event and there is no other evidence available regarding the event. Non-sole-source means that there is other information on the event, such as an

Aviation Safety Action Plan

Safety Matters

altitude deviation where an ATC controller may have also filed a report, and the FAA subsequently followed up on the report by pulling ATC tapes, logs, and got a statement from the controller regarding the event.

In the event of a sole-source report, they reports will typically be included regardless of the time-line, but it is still advisable to file them within the time limit specified in the program’s MOU. If the report was not sole source, and was not filed in a timely manner, then the ASAP Event Review Committee will determine if the person who did not report in a timely manner had a reasonable expectation of being aware of the event and being able to report it in a timely manner. This will then be considered when determining if the event should be included in ASAP or not.

Once the event is reported, it proceeds to the ASAP Event Review Committee, which will typically consist of 1 member from each represented group. There will typically be an FAA ERC representative who is specifically trained for that function, a member representing the company, and a member representing the employee group that is being reviewed.

This committee will sit down and review the events submitted to them and will then use all evidence to weigh the outcome of the event and whether any further action is necessary. It should be noted that the ERC must come to a consensus on the event and in the cases where consensus isn’t reached, the FAA ERC member has the final say in what the outcome will be.

The reports protected by ASAP will be those reports that:

1. Those non-sole-source reports submitted that have “sufficient evidence” for violation under 14 CFR will be closed with administrative action. Those non-sole source reports without sufficient evidence for violation will be closed with a FAA Letter of No Action.

2. Sole-source reports included in ASAP will be closed with no action.

3. Reports that demonstrate a lack of qualification or raise questions of lack of qualification will be addressed by the ERC and have appropriate action recommended.

If an event is excluded from ASAP, then it will be referred to the FAA for appropriate enforcement action, but it should be noted that the majority of reports are included as long as they are submitted in a timely fashion to the ASAP ERC.

Of course, since the intent of ASAP is to gather data on human error, mistakes, unintentional violations, and other events that need to be understood in order to further aviation safety and not to protect people from willful non-compliance, there is a list of things that will automatically be excluded from ASAP protection if encountered by the ERC:

They include:

1. Willful disregard for safety or willful violation of regulation.

2. Any event which appears to include:

a. Criminal activity

b. Substance Abuse

c. Controlled Substances

d. Alcohol

e. Intentional falsification

3. Any report which was not filed in a timely manner and the ERC couldn’t reach consensus on whether or not to include it in the ASAP program.

4. Reports of events that occurred while not acting as an employee of the Certificate Holder covered under the ASAP program. This means that reporting of events when not working (such as flying a private airplane) is not allowed.

If a sole-source report is not excluded due to these conditions, it will be included in ASAP.

Also, if it is later determined that a report was not filed in a timely manner by an employee that should be included in the ASAP event, the ERC will attempt to determine if the non-reporting employee should have or could have known about the event and if it is determined that they didn’t, or couldn’t and the event has been accepted into ASAP, they will be given a 24-hour window within which to make their report.

The final step of the ASAP program after everything has been collected, included or excluded, reviewed, and a determination made, is to take the data that is included in these reports to identify areas of concern, trends, and problems in the operation to attempt to correct them. This is done through policy review, training, recurrent training, news-letters and any other means a company may have available to communicate with the employee group. This typically forms the basis for issues covered in recurrent, CBT’s, upgrade training, etc. and is a primary system for the correction of problem trends in an operation, which has helped move air safety to the level we are seeing today.

illness when they phone in, each company has guidelines to ensure pilots do not abuse the sick call policy. Airlines have a set number of times pilots can call in sick in a rolling 12 months, varying between three to six sick calls in such time span. Any sick call over that will be looked into by the chief pilot, where disciplinary action may result.

Providing a doctor’s note will minimize the disciplinary action that may be taken against the pilot. If the pilot calls in sick numerous times, but with doctor’s notes, the pilot may be required to go on a leave, such as the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Not providing doctor’s notes can lead to questioning by the airline, and some degree of disciplinary action. If no doctor’s note is provided and the pilot has many occurrences, the pilot may ultimately be terminated.

Vacation time and pay will generally be unaffected by a pilot’s sick bank. Having said that, there are a couple of airlines that combine both vacation pay bank and paid time off bank. Depending on how much paid-time off time the pilot has accrued, the pilot may have to choose between getting paid for calling in sick or an upcoming vacation. In most cases, any accrued sick time, paid time off, and vacation time not used by the pilot is paid out by the airline.

Being confined to a metal tube for hours at a time, it should come to no surprise that crew-members occasionally become sick. Although pilots and flight attendants

develop different strategies to cope with health issues they come in contact with, there may be times where they are simply too sick to show up to fly. To alleviate some headaches, airlines provide different methods of compensating pilots calling in sick, as well as different policies to abide by. The differences offered by all the airlines dictate how likely a pilot is to call in sick, as well as how the pilot is compensated.

Most airlines generally have a sick bank accessible to pilots to be used whenever he/she is not feeling fit for duty. Each month, pilots accrue a certain amount of hours toward their sick bank. When a pilot needs to call in sick prior to or during a trip, the pilots will still be compensated for what they were scheduled for. Hours that are not flown are then deducted from the pilot’s sick bank.

In this day and age, U.S. airlines generally do not offer resistance to pilots calling in sick. Crew Scheduling phone lines are recorded and, due to accidents over the years, airlines have come under more scrutiny to ensure their pilots are fit for duty. While pilots will not be questioned regarding their

Pilot’s Office is required. An extreme measure some pilots take is ultimately calling in sick from work to have those days off.

Ultimately, sick time and paid time off may have a significant effect on quality of life. Depending on the airline’s contract and policy, the amount of times a pilot can call in sick and how that pilot is compensated can alter how much the pilot calls in sick. The long term effect of this may compromise quality of life if a pilot does not feel comfortable calling in sick, or cannot afford to do so due to financial reasons.

There may be times where a pilot needs certain days off. Most airlines will allow pilots to make such requests in advance, usually prior to bidding for that month. The number of days granted vary from as little as three days to as many as twelve per year. These days are traditionally called “Golden Days” and are made at the discretion of Crew Scheduling, depending on staffing for that month. Some airlines have a bank of golden days for pilots to use from, whereas other airlines require the pilot to trade those days from the pilot’s vacation time of that year. If the airline does not provide any “Golden Days,” coordination with the Chief

On the Cover: Horizon Air’s ERJ-175

The past five years have been some of the industry’s best. Flying has never been safer or more affordable, and customer satisfaction is on the rise.

Airlines across the industry are growing. Together, Alaska and Virgin America have added 118 new city pairs since 2010 – 34 in just the past two years. It’s a great time for Alaska Air Group, which includes the Pacific Northwest’s favorite regional airline - Horizon Air. For pilots who want to enjoy the challenges of flying our route structure using the latest in avionics and technology, we offer a distinct alternative to flying in many other parts of the country.

This marks an exciting year for Horizon Air as we prepare for the addition of 33 new Embraer E175 jets, which it will fly exclusively for Alaska Airlines. With the first of the new three-class Embraer E175 jets scheduled to arrive in one month and another 30 options to come, our employees are thrilled for what the future holds for our36-year-old airline.

But parallel to the recent successes is a growing challenge. There may simply not be enough new pilots entering the pipeline to keep up with our growth and customer demand. Last summer, Boeing released its “2016 Boeing Pilot & Technician Outlook” study, and the numbers are forecasting a great demand for pilots. In the next 20 years, it predicts that 112,000 new commercial airline pilots will be needed in North America. Horizon Air believes we have positioned ourselves to meet this challenge.

Regional carriers like Horizon perform a critical role feeding pilots to major U.S. carriers. While we recognize this potential issue, it also is creating opportunities for new pilots entering the field. In fact, about a third of new Alaska pilots transfer from Horizon, and many of the Horizon pilots recruited today will have every opportunity to fly Boeing 737 jets some day in the future.

Pilot Shortage Is Challenging But Creates New Opportunit ies

How did we get here?

The path to becoming a commercial airline pilot can be long and costly. The men and women who choose to become pilots do it because they live and breathe flying. I know, because I love it too, and have worked alongside these professionals since my first airline job in 1991.

For students, civilian flight training costs can be upwards of $100,000 – and that’s after paying tuition, room and board for a four-year university degree. Young pilots are incurring debt loads as undergraduates that you would typically only find after medical or law school. This is a high hurdle to clear for both students and their parents.

Additionally, thousands of commercial airline pilots who came on-line during big hiring waves in the 1970s and 1980s are retiring as they approach the age of 65, the mandatory retirement age for U.S. pilots.

We are pleased to see the market beginning to react to the pilot shortage, as vastly improved starting salaries for regional pilots seem to be resulting in improved flight school enrollment.

So, what are we doing?

Horizon Air recently announced an initiative to invest in the education of future pilots. We’re actively recruiting at flight schools and aviation events and have partnered with Central Washington University and Hillsboro Aero Academy in Oregon, to assist students in obtaining their instructor licenses and guarantee an entry point with an interview at Horizon Air following the completion of flight school. We’re in negotiations with other schools to expand this program to other flight programs in the coming year.

On a positive note, the airline is continually evaluating starting salaries for new pilots, to ensure they are competitive and livable for students graduating with substantial debt loads.

“In the next 20 years, Boeing predicts that 112,000 new

commercial airline pilots will be needed in North America.”

In addition, we are offering pre-employment bonuses for new hires in order to attract the pilots needed to address our anticipated growth with the introduction of the Embraer E175 aircraft. Additionally, our Captains are among the highest paid in the industry, and we want to keep those who want to spend a career with us.

And finally, we’re targeting future aviators before they ever step foot on a college campus, with the support of Raisbeck Aviation High School and events like Aviation Day. Our goal with this outreach is to show young people with an interest in aviation that however daunting the process may sound, there are pathways to fulfilling their dreams of becoming commercial airline pilots. One day, you might just see one of them welcome you aboard an Alaska Airlines flight.

Interview with Ali Donway, Managing Director, Chief Pilot

Pre Interview:Craig: How do you select applicants to be brought in for an interview?Ali: Horizon pilots are passionate about flying and the customer experience. When we look for pilots to join our team, we evaluate their online application, and resume, to ensure the candidate possess the requirements needed for this position. Additionally, Horizon is people-focused, for employees and candidates, so we contact each application personally by phone to discuss their unique situation.

C: What can an applicant do to increase their chances of being called for an interview?A: Applicants can increase their chances of being called for an interview by meeting, or exceeding, the R-ATP or ATP minimums for total flight time. Additionally, we like to see applicants have experience flying in a 135 environment. We know that every applicants situation is different, so even if they do not meet this experience-level, we’d love to talk with them to see how Horizon could be a good fit for them.

C: What is the best way to prepare for an interview with your company?A: We look for aviation experts that will carry out our award-winning customer service. This includes a personable demeanor and professional presence. Additionally, interviewees can prepare for their meeting with us by reading up on our company and showing up ready to showcase their passion for flying.

Interview: C: Do you recommend that applicants get to your headquarters city the day before and get a hotel room for the night?A: Horizon Air will provide all Pilot interviewees with positive space travel and hotel room, as well as transportation to/from the hotel or airport. We want this experience to be an extension of our company culture.

C: Can you walk me through a typical day of interviews?A: The interview process begins at 8am with a tour of our flight operations center in Portland, OR, including the hangar and ground training classrooms. Each candidate will also meet with someone from our Chief Pilot office, Human Resources, and have an oral/technical interview. This is a great way for interviewees to see our operation in-person and ask questions about our company.

C: What kind of questions can an applicant expect to be asked?A: Our goal is to get to know you. We are always interested to know what attracts you to Horizon Air, what your longer term goals are (i.e. upgrade, guaranteed interview at Alaska Airlines, and choice of base) and why you love to fly.

Post Interview:C: Do you tell applicants they are hired in person that day? A: At Horizon Air, we are committed to operational excellence, and that includes during the interview process. Our goal is for successful candidates to walk away from the interview day with an offer in hand. So, yes, in most cases we are extending offers on the same day.

C: How soon can an applicant expect a class date after being hired?A: Once we extend an offer on the interview day, we discuss and assign a class date, so successfully candidates are walking away with the peace of mind knowing when training will start, this beginning their seniority. We realize that pilots have families, friends and personal obligations and we will work with the applicant to ensure it meets their schedule, but aim to schedule the first available date. There may be an occasion when a class assignment comes after the interview date, but that is not the norm. For pilots needing the ATP-CTP class, we attempt to schedule that at the same time.

General:C: Can you explain the ATP-CTP class that your company offers? A: At Horizon Air, we are focused on our people, and a large part of that includes the training and education opportunities that we offer. For pilots that need to take the ATP-CTP class, we will cover the cost of the course (currently offered in Florida and Nevada), hotel, and transportation to/from this course.

C: Do you have a hiring bonus? Is there any specific criterion to qualify for the bonus?A: There has never been a better time to join Horizon Air. We are currently offering a pre-employment bonus of $10,000. This is given as a lump sum, prior to training and is our way of saying “welcome to the team.”

C: Does Horizon Air have a Pilot Development Program?A: Yes! We currently have agreements established with several aviation programs throughout the country. We offer between $7,500 - $10,000 stipend to help with the cost of flight training. We interview and select future Horizon Air Pilots to be assigned training classes when they meet minimums.

C: Can you describe the career path program that Horizon Air has with Alaska Airlines?A: Horizon Air provides the best way to the Pilot position at Alaska Airlines. All Horizon Air Pilots are offered the opportunity to participate in the guaranteed interview program, which provides a guaranteed interview at Alaska Airlines. As part of the program, Alaska Airlines commits to filling at least 30% of their classes with Horizon pilots.

How to Fly Airplanes

Defining the Problem

Written by: Robert Reser

It is time to reconsider how we teach flight. For years the accident statistics have consistently shown results of too many fatalities in General Aviation accidents. There have been

numbers of articles and suggestions about the risks involved in all flight. However, I have yet to see definition of the problems.

Loss of Control is noted as a leading cause of accidents. The aircraft is designed and built to essentially fly by itself, so what is loss of control? What causes loss of control? How do you prevent loss of control?

Control is steering of the machine to direct it in a desired manner for completion of flight. Steering is done by the pilot through use of flight controls. Loss of control then is caused by the pilot. To prevent loss of control, it requires the pilot be trained how to allow the aircraft to fly as designed.

This is an attempt to define what is missing and suggest how to improve your training.

In addition to some unintended consequences of regulation, there are errors and missing information in all aviation texts.

Thrust Lifting

The major missing information is consideration of lift occurring at the engine attachment. In the tractor aircraft operation, any angle of attack that directs the thrust slightly above the direction of motion creates a small lift force. This lifting adds to the total lift acting on the aircraft and is used for most level and climb maneuvering rather than elevator control.

Engine lifting causes climb angle when thrust is increased above level flight sustaining thrust. In a banked attitude, the maneuver becomes a horizontal climb with coordinated thrust causing added total lift for constant vertical lift and level turning flight.

Level turn maneuvering with added thrust can be done to

a bank angle at which thrust has been increased to maximum. Any further bank increase for level turn requires aft elevator with accepting slowed flight.

Turn Maneuvering

All texts say for turn, the attitude is banked and aft elevator applied to maintain level. The emphasis needs to be made that elevator input always causes change of angle-of-attack and a related indicated-airspeed change. That is all it ever does! Any resulting altitude control requires coordinating thrust to the new indicated-airspeed. Most level turns can be made with coordinated thrust.

Stalls

Stalling the aircraft is caused by holding aft elevator input. No text emphasizes that it is the Pilot that causes stall! That is the only way it can happen. If the control wheel is released, the aircraft will immediately resume the current elevator trimmed setting and continue to fly. We spend lots of time teaching how to stall and recover but little to no emphasis on the only way the stall can occur in the first place.

Loss of Control

Inadvertent IMC is a common loss of control situation. The immediate onset of vertigo is extremely difficult to resist without prior training. Some early model Cessna 150 and 172’s had recovery as a published emergency procedure.

Turn loose of the control wheel and concentrating on the turn and bank instrument, with rudder only control establish a standard rate turn for one minute then level the wings and fly out of the conditions. Adding thrust will cause climb if needed to help reestablish visual.

“Hands-off Flight Control”!

The aircraft was designed to fly and in fact will fly all by itself if released with applied power. The Pilot only controls. It

Page 33: Anniversary Issue Aero Crew News Your Source for Pilot ... · said Rick Blatstein, OTG CEO. “In sourcing some of Houston’s most celebrated culinary talent, designing fully immersive

March 2017 | 33

is possible to fly a complete flight from start of taxi to takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and approach without touching the control wheel. Just maneuver with thrust for altitude and direction with rudder. Setting the elevator trim for a desired indicated-airspeed the aircraft will maintain that indicated-airspeed throughout.

An excellent article published in the 2014 Mar/Apr FAA Safety-Brief discusses how manual control is applied and the physiological implications of doing so. All Pilots should be able to safely control an aircraft without the use of elevator control.

Emergency Landings

No matter the cause requiring an emergency landing, it is the flight control to the touchdown area that leads to an accident...and the accident does not occur until at or after touchdown and only then if there is damage or injury.

According to 2001 FAA statistics, seventy-five percent of off field emergency landings touchdown mid-field or beyond on the chosen site. Fifty percent of the fatalities from these landings come from overrunning the site.

An unintended consequence of regulation calling for extended landing approaches eliminated the common practice of idle-thrust landings. The result is for over forty years there has been no requirement for Private Pilot proficiency in this type landing…which just happens to be the equivalent procedure for engine-out landings. Additionally, the extended approaches have resulted in much wasted training time in the traffic pattern. Proficiency in idle-power landings makes extended approaches seem simple.

When landing in emergency conditions, at touchdown the pilot will immediately become aware when no longer in control. At that time the pilot and passengers must be protecting

themselves as best as possible... especially protecting the head to be conscious when stopped.

Inadvertent IMC

Another emergency situation which relies on hands-off minimum elevator control is inadvertent flight into IMC or dark night loss of visual orientation. In this case, it is imperative the pilot understand to release the control wheel and using the turn and bank or attitude indicator for reference, steer with rudder into a standard rate turn (approx. 20-25 degree bank) for one minute, then reverse to zero bank and fly out of the situation.

If continuing into the situation, keep a zero bank indication on the turn and bank with rudder steering and crosscheck of heading with the compass. Adding power to increase altitude, climbing will possibly regain visual references.

These situations normally cause feelings of vertigo and must be minimized by sitting upright with little if any movement of the head. Believe the instruments, not how you feel.

Low Air-Density Operation

The idea that an aircraft does not fly well in “thin air” has been promoted forever. It just happens the aircraft doesn’t know the air is thin. It just increases velocity in the current conditions, continuing to operate normally at the same indicated-airspeeds as in dense air…so what is wrong? It’s available thrust. That is the only change. Engines just don’t provide the same power in low density air. Operation is at higher velocities relative the ground for landing and takeoff so require longer runways. For takeoff there will be minimum total thrust for acceleration and when becoming airborne most becomes sustaining thrust with minimum excess for maneuvering.

A typical light aircraft approximately 2,000 lbs. with fixed propeller requires about 200 lbs. of thrust to sustain itself around an indicated-airspeed of Vy. This aircraft at sea level can produce approximately 600 lbs. of thrust, so when becoming airborne, will have 400 lbs. excess thrust for climb and maneuvering.

As the aircraft climbs the air density reduces approximately linearly, so if it can climb only to 15,000 feet, at that time it is producing 200 lbs of thrust. That means at 5,000 feet, it had 275 lbs excess thrust for maneuvering and at 10,000 feet, 150 lbs. excess thrust. Maneuvering is very limited with reduced excess thrust. It is imperative the Pilot understand how much the performance degrades when operating in low air-density conditions.

These methods have been proven to enable Students to be proficient to solo within five hours and proficient in all PPL maneuvering within thirty hours. It is important to see the difference between basic procedure and development of technique that makes it work.

He flew USAF and Air National Guard transport (C-123), observer (O-2), and jet fighter (RF-84, F-89, F102) aircraft for 20 years while flying the commercial airline very large transports for 30 years. Bob also holds USAF Navigator and Radar Observer ratings.

For several years after airline retirement, he worked as Vice-President of Safety for a large flight school. The later years when working at the flight school, with ongoing review of Instructors, Students, and Examiners, the ideas professed of how to control flight were formed, there began an idea that something is missing in the general knowledge of aircraft control.

The past few years Bob has been working on his book while professing the need for a changed approach to basic flight training. You can request a complimentary e-book by emailing Bob at [email protected].

Fitness Corner Written by: Max Wettstein

As I sit in the left seat looking over at the First Officer, I’m quickly reminded to stop slouching and to be hyper-vigilant of my own posture. I can see their upper-backs

rounding forward more and more (Thoracic-spine kyphosis), and their Cervical spine craning forward more and more, the older they get, (Forward Head Posture), and not using any lumbar support for their Lumbar spine, loading up pressure on their discs.

The point of this article is two-fold:

1. To raise awareness on the latest research on the occupational health hazards associated with careers that require long-term sitting/sedentary lifestyle, and,

2. To make you hyper-vigilant of your sitting-posture in the flight-deck, always.

Regarding the latter, even though there is allegedly an ideal or optimal ‘sitting posture’ that supposedly aligns your spine neutrally, in reality, the healthiest strategy to combat the spinal risks of long-term sitting is to continually adjust your posture into different positions. Don’t just sit in one position even if you think you are sitting ‘properly’ – always change it up and shift your weight around, taking turns utilizing the foot-rests if your flight-deck offers them, various reclining angles, various lumbar-support levels, and even varying your armrest position. Even vary crossing each leg to the left or right. Mixing up your sitting position is the best strategy.

Most of us pilots are familiar with the most common health risks associated with long-term sitting such as back strain & pain, disc bulge & herniation, forward-head posture, blood pooling & clotting in our lower legs, constipation, hemorrhoids, and abdominal distention & bloating (the latter, especially when your uniform requires you to wear a constrictive belt…I say bring back the flight-suit even for commercial pilots so our abdomens can naturally morph into a proper seated position). But a clinical study published by the American Cancer Society states that long-term sitting even contributes to early-death & colon cancer.

Their published study of 120,000 Americans between 1992 & 2006 specifically stated that men who (cumulatively) sit for more than 6 hours per day had a 20% higher overall death rate than those who sat for 3 hours or less per day. For women the overall death rate was 40% greater. Dr. Levine from the Mayo Clinic further adds that “excessive sitting is a lethal activity…of an independent pathology”, meaning that in and of itself the act of long-term sitting directly, negatively affects your health, regardless and independent of other lifestyle factors. The critical span of time seemed to be cumulatively sitting for 6 hours or more each day – which most of us pilots regularly do on a typical day of flying the line, especially if you factor in additional sitting while commuting to work.

These additional health risks of long-term sitting discovered by the American Cancer Society and the Mayo Clinic are more complicated than simply being sedentary & potential weight gain. Obviously our muscles become inactive and our metabolism immediately slows down, but it appears once we’re stagnant for several hours a cascade of harmful, metabolic effects sets off, largely driven by rapid onset of ‘insulin-resistance’, or the body’s inability to efficiently uptake glucose (blood-sugar) into the liver and muscles for energy, thus requiring more insulin secretion. This results in chronic, elevated insulin and sugar levels in the bloodstream, and turbo-charges internal, Omentum-fat. Insulin-resistance normally is a precursor to type-2 or Adult-Onset Diabetes, and is bio-marker for obesity, Metabolic-Syndrome and systemic inflammation. Long-term sitting also seems to shut down the enzymes responsible for breaking down lipids & triglycerides – for vacuuming up fat out of the bloodstream, and our leg muscles lose more than 75% of their ability to remove harmful lipo-proteins from the blood. Simply put a single day of flying the line, and our insulin-effectiveness drops by 40% or more. We

become insulin-resistant and glucose inefficient. Tight pants and/or belts can also further compound systemic inflammation by squeezing our internal bell-fat and omentum-fat, and, interfere with digestion if we are eating while in the flight deck.

So enough bad news, what can we do save our health? Plenty! And once you’re armed with education and awareness, half the battle is won: Stand up more in the flight deck. Fidget more – yes adjusting your seating position many times not only aides your lumbar spine and gets blood circulating, but it also seems to rev up your metabolism a notch, keeping it out of total hibernation. Take those lavatory breaks when they’re offered, every time. Modify your diet to go low-carbohydrate during your trips. At home you can resume your well-balanced, carb-abundant diet, but on the road, just assume you’re ‘insulin-resistant’ and stick to proteins, healthy fats and high-fiber complex carbs like vegetables. Whole-fruit is still welcome but absolutely no juices and if you must drink soda, make it ‘diet’. Lastly, exercise once you get to the layover hotel! As little as 30 minutes of intense of exercise, especially cardio, can potentially fire up your metabolism for up to 12 hours post-exercise! Take advantage of this before meeting the crew for happy-hour, and you will be literally adding years to your life! Maybe even consider purchasing looser pants, until the commercial airlines allow us to wear more naturally fitting flight-suits. There’s a reason why military pilots wear flight-suits, and it is not because they’re always pulling Gs.
