Looks like they had a pretty good right crosswind.  Not bad.

Ya is it just me or is that a pretty high flare in the first one? Maybe its just the angle.

yeah it looks like it has a flare too high but hey its USAIRWAYS and ERJS what do you expect

hey Mark you wont hear this in the papers
just reported to me that ALPA national raided the KPIT USAIRWAYS MEC OFFICE. Changing the locks, installing security cameras.

This seems to have been done with regard to the recent seniority award which places pilots with just a few years of experience at America West senior to pilots at USAIRWAYS who have been on the job almost 20 years...through thick and thin.

There is an effort among USAIRWAYS (*east) pilots to decertify alpa and start a new union which would redo the seniority award to actually respect date of hire.

There is speculation that if USAIRWAYS pulls out of alpa, that other major airlines just might follow suit.

Huh, that's pretty interesting.  I' haven't really been following America West or USAirways.  Why did they give seniority to the America West guys over established USAirways pilots?
