Region is most commonly a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region is a medium-scale area of land or water, smaller than the whole areas of interest (which could be, for example, the world, a nation, a river basin, mountain range, and so on), and larger than a specific site. A region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics. As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography. From Wikipedia under the

I saw the recent question on becoming a 747 pilot. Frankly, I don't like that sound of driving something THAT immense; it takes a lot of time to do too. Also, the hassle associated with entering another country and their regulations and the long flight time. Now what I am asking is this: What are the requirements of being a regional pilot flying 737ish aircraft in regional airlines like Southwest etc? I am really considering a job in travel and a pilot sounds good. Hows the training? How long? Is it worth it? What about your family life? I would appreciate answers from regional pilots or international alike, although anyone's helpful input would also help. Asked by m173627 - Mon Jun 11 21:07:08 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. 1) What are the requirements of being a regional pilot flying 737ish aircraft in regional airlines like Southwest etc? First off, SWA is NOT a regional. Make no mistake, they are a MAJOR U.S. carrier and one of the top paying airlines at that. Any airline that flies 737s can't really be considered a "regional". In all actuality many airlines that are called such are actually majors as they have over a billion in revenue annually (the mark of a major by the D.O.T.). The "regional" airlines like the Express & Connection carriers that feed the majors (even if they are now "majors" in their own right) generally all require: 1. A Commercial pilot certificate with instrument & multi-engine ratings 2. 1,000 hours of flight experience, 100 of… [cont.] Answered by Av8trxx - Tue Jun 12 05:57:59 2007 How do I start a regional environmental group? Q. I know nothing.Anyone with experience please tell me some steps that would create an inter-state, inter- provincial regional environmental group or agency.(hopefully with govenmental support or patronage) Asked by Tom - Tue Feb 6 04:35:59 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. First you need to have a few more like minded people who are interested. Next look out for diffrent environmental related problems in the area and their possible solutions. Your group of associates can work on these problems and try to create public awareness if required. Once people see you are doing some good, positive work and giving good results soon more people will join and you will have a good organisation soon. Keep one thing in mind - you should name your organisation keeping in mind the area of work you chose like we have named our organisation Narmada Ecology and Welfare Society (NEWS) keeping in mind our area of activities which include developmental work for forest dwellers and other conservation activities especially… [cont.] Answered by nature_luv - Tue Feb 6 05:06:41 2007 Is Associates in Aviation enough to get a job in Regional Airlines?
Q. I believe most of them do not require pilots to have any degree. Can I get Associates in Aviation and all the Pilot Ratings from Single to Multi Engine-instructor. Would that be enough to get a job in regional airlines? If I have Associates degree and more hours of flying, do I get hired first in comparison of the one who has bachelor but less hours than me? Asked by AMERICAN - Sun Aug 19 03:29:34 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. This is what they look for in the interview How many flying hours does this person have? What aircraft have they flown? How does their personality fit in with our airline? Having a degree is a bonus but it won't get you the job. There is a pilot shortage in the world at the moment so you have a good chance of getting a job without a degree but if have the time to get one. Go ahead and do it incase your aviation career falls apart you will have something else to fall back on!
