ATC Staffing Crisis Averted By High Fuel Prices Well, it looks as though the current record increase in fuel prices, due to petroleum being used as a safe haven against US$ inflationary pressure by financial investors and speculators, has a silver lining. Now there is no longer a need for the FAA,...

I just read that Capt. Sullenberger is retiring at the age of 59. I don't blame him, as all the BS airline pilots have to endure probably makes the job not so much fun now. He could stick around until he's 65 but his decision was probably helped by the $3.2M deal he signed for two books. Good for...

Hi all: I have a question about cost splitting for a flight by me, with only a private certificate (in a rented plane).
