The demise of Lynx Aviation

02/05/2010 12:42 PM
itunes pic

Its sad when an airline brand dies. First because it happens too often these days. But it also means the end of something people within the company invest themselves in. After all, what is a brand other than a vision a team buys into, executes and builds? The demise of an airline, or any brand, is the end of something valuable. The demise of Lynx Aviation means communities who were served by it now have to get used to a new airline - will they be the same, better or worse? The closure of Lynx also means a special airplane whose heritage started in Denver now also goes away. The seemingly small event at Lynx does represent something bigger as Dan Webb (highly regarded blogger) and aviation industry veteran Doug Abbey explain.

ILFC's founder retires - or did he?

The world's leading airplane leasing firm, ILFC, saw its founder retire this week. It was expected but still. Here is a man who is an industry pioneer who started out in the business while he was still a student. His influence in the industry is legendary. To say he is one of the aviation world's characters is no understatement. His visions were grand and he built a portfolio of 1,000 aircraft. Taking a look at what this retirement could mean are George Hamlin from Hamlin Transportation Consulting and Scott Hamilton from Leeham Co.

The Lemming Effect

01/29/2010 10:43 AM
itunes pic
So what's with the US legacy airlines? They seem to do nothing that does not get copied overnight. There are exceptions - Continental Airlines and its meal service - scant, but there. The US legacy airlines cannot compete on price because the LCCs control this. Nowhere else do airlines not compete like they do in the US. Discussing this issue are CAPA's Ron Kuhlman and Kathryn Creedy who have written and continue to write about this matter. The behavior of the US legacy airlines is truly a remarkable thing to watch. Fascinating as it is, it remains hard to figure out.

Peter Jensen Instrument Flight Part II

I am digging in my backlog and getting motivated during the holidays to put out a podcast....finally. I must say that it feels good. I always enjoy the publishing part! This is part 2 of SPJ 22 for Peter Jensen's Instrument cross country flight. Peter has since completed his training and is an instrument rated pilot. Although he has had the rating for a while now, I still congratulate him on completing the training. I will continue to dig through my videos to see what else I have to publish while I prepare for the next podcasts.

Marathon Key Trip on YouTube

07/04/2009 06:41 AM
I have posted a short video on YouTube for the Marathon Key flight. The trip was great. We filed IFR both ways so I was able to get in the clouds a little bit....more like "around" for the most part, but it was fun and further justifies my need for an instrument rating. Flying around the storms was truly a sight to see and seeing the tops of rainbows was interesting. Be sure to subscribe to the Student Pilot Journal YouTube channel. Occasionally I will be posting quick blurbs that may not be good enough for a full podcast. Here is the video on YouTube:

What's a Podcast?

From Wikipedia:

"Podcasting" is a web-based broadcast medium. Audio files (most commonly in MP3 format) are made available online in a way that allows software to automatically detect the availability of new files (generally via RSS), and download the files for listening at the user's convenience.

The word "podcasting" is a portmanteau of the words iPod and broadcasting. A podcast is like an audio magazine subscription: a subscriber receives regular audio programs delivered via the internet, and can listen to them at their leisure.

Podcasts differ from traditional internet audio in two important ways. In the past, listeners have had to either tune in to web radio on a schedule, or they have had to search for and download individual files from webpages. Podcasts are much easier to get. They can be listened to at any time because a copy is on the listener's computer or portable music player (hence the "pod" in "podcasting"), and they are automatically delivered to subscribers, so no active downloading is required.

Podcasting is functionally similar to the use of timeshift-capable digital video recorders (DVRs), such as TiVo, which let users record and store television programs for later viewing.
