Cathay boss: "Young pilots don't think about pensions or medical care,
just want 777"

For the first time since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, all major U.S.
airlines are hiring pilots or recalling those laid off during the
industry's five-year downturn.

But the airlines are discovering that many of the 10,000 pilots who
lost their jobs during those bleak years aren't interested in
returning to their old lives.

Many pilots, faced with salary cuts of 35 percent or more, moved to
overseas carriers, such as Emirates Airline and Cathay Pacific Airways
Ltd. Others took higher-paying jobs with overnight carriers such as
FedEx Corp. and United Parcel Service Inc.

If Airlines Were Run Like Computer Operating Systems...
UNIX Airways
Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the
airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together
piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are
supposed to be building.

Air DOS
Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and
let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push
again, jump on again, and so on...

FAA: Airports must upgrade runways
The Federal Aviation Administration is requiring two Bay Area airports
to make safety changes to their runways so planes can stop in case of
an emergency.

Some of the runway safety areas -- which are extensions at the end of
runways that provide space for planes to stop in event of an emergency
-- are not long enough at San Francisco and Oakland international
airports. The FAA is requiring the upgrades to be made by 2012.

Air Windows
Always late, always crashes, everybody says they hate it, but it's still the
most popular airline out there.

Beautiful airplanes, never crash, but none of the terminal gates fit
their doors.
