Aero Crew News

Aero Crew News ACN is your source for aviation hiring news and The Grid, the only contract comparison tool. In 2015, Aero Crew News was conceived by pilots for pilots.

In the first few years, our cover stories/ features were dedicated to airlines and charter companies seeking pilots. Since then, our scope has grown and our features now encompass everything from flight schools to our annual photo contest. The objective with our features is to educate and inform our readers on a wide variety of aviation- related topics they’ll find useful in the pursuit of their futures in aviation.

Refinancing your mortgage can be one of the most effective ways to improve your financial position as a homeowner—especially in a changing interest-rate environment. But many pilots miss the opportunity to maximize savings because they either wait too long, pay too much upfront, or don’t understand the flexible options available to them.

Single Pilot ICAO Update

A bipartisan group of 45 senators, led by Tim Sheehy and Tammy Duckworth, has sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy urging the FAA to oppose single-pilot flights for commercial aviation.

The senators argue that this move, which is being explored by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency, would undermine aviation safety by removing the redundancy of a two-pilot cockpit. They also warned that inaction by the FAA could set a global precedent that would put pressure on the U.S. to lower its own safety standards.

A trade agreement has been reached between the U.S. and the EU, which imposes a 15% tariff on most EU goods but provides an exemption for aircraft and aerospace components.

The agreement will maintain tariff-free trade for aircraft and parts, a crucial move that protects the highly integrated global aerospace supply chain from disruptions. After years of trade disputes between giants like Boeing and Airbus, their combined lobbying was a rare show of unity that ensured that jet production and deliveries could continue smoothly, avoiding potential chaos for new aircraft programs.

Aero Crew News

In this month’s combined issue, the Feature is dedicated to showcasing the background and medical services provided by MedAire. We aren’t taking too much for granted these days in the area of health, so the timeliness of this piece is notable. Another timely article is supplied by Reini Thijssen in the Fitness column. Don’t Worry! is more than an admonition, it is valuable advice on how to handle the stresses of uncertainty. As we have come to expect and appreciate from Charlie Mattingly in Money, we are provided solid advice about dealing with the uncertainties of the economy in his piece titled, Five Things You Can Do to Prepare for a Bear Market or Recession. (Afterward, it may be helpful to revisit Reini’s Don’t Worry!) Perspectives offers some great advice from Victor Vazquez about continuing to grow your career through professional development. You may be inspired to make the most of any extra downtime you find yourself trying to fill. And, if there weren’t enough beyond our control, there is always the weather! In this month’s Squall Line, Anthony Lorenti gives us more on convective weather and a cringe-worthy incident report to read that is also an opportunity for professional development. With perhaps more downtime than you are accustomed to, we suggest that you read each contribution in this valuable issue. Remember, the articles provided by Aero Crew News are published to make each of us better pilots and crew, better providers, better members of our families, our circles of friends and colleagues, and the greater society. We share with you and invite you to share with others. Always, we welcome your feedback at [email protected].
