Airborne-Flight Training 07.07.22: AA Pay Increases, Elektra Trainer, Skyborne

Also: Record Keeping Regulation, Electric Aircraft Symposium, Drone/UAV Rule, FedEx Pilots

In a move certain to foment increased informational picketing outside the hubs and headquarters of its competitors, American Airlines has offered its pilots pay increases of up to $64,000.

The move sets a new benchmark in the cash-grab into which the post-COVID airline industry has descended. American Airlines CEO Robert Isom has outlined a proposal entailing a 16.9% pay-raise for the carrier’s fourteen-thousand pilots. This could be your next trainer... Elektra Solar has successfully test-flown the Elektra Trainer, the company’s two-seat, electric, ultralight aircraft. With test-pilot Uwe Nortmann at the controls, the Elektra Trainer prototype departed Memmingen International Airport in southern Germany on 29 June. The aircraft rose, silently and sans-emissions, after an impressively brief, one-hundred-meter takeoff roll, and climbed at a brisk, eight-meters per second and remained aloft for twenty minutes. The Airline Pilot Club and Skyborne Airline Academy have formed a partnership with the goal of providing aspiring airline pilots professional guidance and high-quality, theoretical, and practical training. The Airline Pilot Club (APC) is a community of aspiring pilots, newly qualified pilots, flying schools and airlines about the noble endeavor of increasing accessibility to flight training and pilot careers.
