So You Want to Get Free Airline Tickets: Should You Choose a Reward or Cash Back Credit Card?
If you want to use a reward credit card for getting free airline tickets, you have a choice of choosing a dedicated airline credit card, a travel reward credit card or a cash back credit card. However, with a regular reward program credit card, you only need to spend $25,000 to earn your 25,000 points. In that case, use $220 or 22,000 points as your guide when you are choosing between a travel or cash back credit card. However, if you fly long distance (New York to LA for example) and your airline ticket tends to cost over $300, then using a reward credit card makes more sense. Choose a travel credit card if your airline ticket cost more than $250.

Electronic newsgathering is another major area of thrust for helicopter use these days. As our society becomes media savvy everyday, new agencies and media groups need to get news faster and crispier.

A Look at Fractional Jet Ownership
The card offers the convenience of chartering an aircraft, with the peace of mind that you get from NetJets's safety standards. With the Marquis Jet Card, required notice jumps up to 10 hours, which is still much better than anything the airlines can offer. The Marquis Jet Card starts at $109,900 for 25 hours in a Cessna Citation V. An exciting concept in private aviation, however, is allowing private jet travel to make more sense for those who have seriously considered it as a possibility. Other fractional carriers also have prepaid jet cards, so this is a [somewhat] affordable solution for those who don't want to deal with the monthly or upfront costs of ownership.

Boeing is Really Flying Now
Commercial Aviation has taken quite a hit in the last five years and things did not look so great for Boeing after having massive layoffs, orders for new aircraft cut and lackluster sales.

Entering Business Aviation, Part II: Pay Rates for Flight Attendants
Companies should reward you based on your business flying background, safety and security training, culinary expertise, world languages if flying internationally, management skills, people skills, etc. Contract rates vary widely and depend, again, on your location, responsibilities, experience, etc. I have heard of flight attendants flying for $0 just to get the experience and hours [how could a company conscientiously allow that to happen? Okay, stupid question!] I've also heard of a flight attendant making $600 per day flying internationally. If the company insists on paying 35K, guess what? You won't make anything near 60K, you'll be crossed off their list and the person settling for 35K will get the job. Generally, never expect anyone to reveal their salary to you.
