Only one US carrier will grant pilots time off from their work schedule to attend the training. All the rest require the pilots to do it in their time off which can be hard to do considering the length of the training.

It seems that the TSA may have ticked off it’s last politician recently. Here’s an article about it.

It will be interesting to see what results of this.

FFDO is the title of a pilot trained to carry a firearm.

We got a goofy vector our of Newark that took us over Manhattan island. It was just dark enough to blur the pictures due to the low light and the aircraft movement. Here’s the best of the lot looking south with the Empire State Building in the lower right.

Here’s my attempt at including the wing in a picture. Plenty of reflection from the cockpit interior.

Ok then. Here are some from 2 days ago. The first is the western mountains on the Vermont/New York border. Lake Placid, the home to the 1980 Olympics, is somewhere in there. 🙂

nice stuff, just another thing i’ve noticed about your Embraers as opposed to the UK versions that i usually see it the differant swing door and its associated lack of airstairs.

The airstairs came on the first 30 or so jets but then all subsequent deliveries had the plug door at my company. Those original jets with the airstairs were retrofitted with plug doors in a matter of a few months. Since then all the operators of the ERJ family in the US seems to have the plug doors.

Excellent pics WD! All of them are very interesting indeed, nice to see some of these kinda shots. I know that those Embraers can get into fairly small airports, is there any chance of you being able to get some shots from some of the smaller places? Sorry but I have this kinda obsession for smaller aircraft and smaller airports 😀

By smaller do you mean CRJ/ERJ/AVRO/Bizjets or really small like GA stuff? I come across both in my travels.

I don’t know which model you have, but a lot of digi cameras have manual over-rides and you should be able to ride the exposure level a little in either direction. It’s worth reading the picture information on the display that you got with the shots you’ve already done and experiment with the exposure readings manually. Look for the f-number and try adjusting by let’s say half stop increments. The higher the f-number the darker it gets and the lower the f-number the brighter it gets.
If you can’t do this with your camera then try keeping the snow out of frame to let the auto exposure work more closely on the subject matter.

Thanks for the tip. My camera does have a Manual mode but I’m still pretty new to that aspect of photography so I’ll have to play with it a bit. Rather nice that it doesn’t cost anything to play around with a digital camera. 🙂

Great shots WD, those whiteout shots aren’t bad at all, if your camera has auto iris then it’ll underexpose the rest of the picture a little to try and compensate for what it thinks is a big over-exposed area.

Is there a way of adjusting for that when you’re taking the picture?

After we get blasted with another 4-6″ of snow tonight it’s finally going to warm up into the mid-30’s (F) at least for a day. I can’t remember the last day above 15F let alone the 30’s. Heat Wave!!

Snow? It’s natures version of that white stuff you spray on windows for decoration during the Christmas holiday. 🙂

This group of pictures seemed to suffer from my inexperience shooting in such all white conditions as well as taking pictures through the cockpit glass. Between the scratches and deicing fluid streaks it was a miricle they aren’t any worse. Definately not A.net quality but more real world. 🙂

I hope you enjoyed them.

Not airline related but still deals with aviation. Here’s the C-130 unit based in MSP.

I much prefer the 757 in the old livery.
