Contrary to what is often disingenuously characterized as a requirement for all pilots to have 1,500 hours of flight time to be qualified to fly for an airline, the FAA’S new rules actually allow pilots with as few as 750 hours of flight time to fly for commercial airlines. More importantly, the rules constitute critical safety advancements for our industry and address long-standing training and qualification issues uncovered after several airline accidents.

Following a spate of toe-in-the-water, summer-only schedules to China, Korean low-cost carrier (LCC) JinAir has solidified plans to join the long-haul, international-LCC club with a daily service to the Pacific island destination of Guam.

Japan Airlines has discovered that a cyberattack may have led to the theft of up to 750,000 customer details from its computer systems. The carrier says that “approximately 110,000 pieces of customer data may have been compromised,” although this number could increase to 750,000 if outbound data were sent in a compressed format. The data pertain to JAL Mileage Bank members.

PEDs do not need to be in “airplane mode,” EASA said.
