Does wasaya still do ground to flight?
I see on PCC the ground to flight link redirects to their careers home page. If you work for them in YQT or YXL as a CSA does that still "count" for consideration?

Re: Superior Airways
Does anyone have a recent experience with them? Wondering what is the chance of living in Red Lake vs one of the more remote bases? Remote bases?? I am pretty sure the only base they have is in Red Lake. I believe the King Air crews sometimes get hotels if they have flying that is somewhat far away...

Re: Jazz CRJ crash at LaGuardia
My condolences to everyone. It's a small community and with how stretched the industry is, it could've been any CRJ driver potentially.
Hopefully the ZOO that is the FAA finally makes some changes!

Re: Any tips on getting a first job in 2026?
Above posters gave solid advice. Road trip is your best bet at picking something up. I will say, in this current hiring climate people, more often than not you have people with 600/700/800+ TT going on these road trips looking for a gig. So that may be your competition for the direct entry jobs, bu...

Any tips on getting a first job in 2026?
From the outside looking in it seems all movement has stopped, I keep hearing about road trips but only from people who did it 10+ years ago.
Shotgunning resumes doesn't seem to be working, but it seems like the tried and true method. Any tips on things I might be missing out on?

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
The ‘fix’ is to update to the 21st century and recognize or require an ‘airline transport’ component. So an aircraft type that requires two pilot operations. That will typically mean Part 703/704/705, corporate, or military experience. That is the good part. But the licence is not an ‘Airline Trans...

Re: How will the ATPL changes affect the industry?
Leave it to TC to mess up something that should otherwise be straightforward. The existing problem is that experience requirements for ATPL were leftovers from the 1940’s/1950’s/1960’s. So a flight instructor who met the experience requirements and did a multi-IFR ride in a Beech Duchess could be i...

I heard that to get your A's you'll now need to be left seat certified for a 2 crew airplane with 2 engines. Doesn't that mean any captain on a kingair or pc12 is now SOL if they want to go to AC or any other airline that requires an ATPL? Does that mean everyone flying cargo/charter/medevac is now ...

Delta, UAL etc didn't take 16 years to get where they are. They have had massive gains from 2018-2019 onwards, and in two bargaining cycles saw essentially a 100% increase in pay.

Re: Pilot Shortage Solved! Thank you Carney!
I find it impossible to believe they went from the old flight test requirement to needing a PIC PPC on a two crew airplane just to get an ATPL. That wouldn't make any sense. It must be just a 703/4/5 PPC. How would a person even achieve the requirement for a captain ride apart from coming from anot...

The issue is, it's hard to take about any of this stuff without examining basically every aspect of how man are treated differently from women (and vice versa) in society from childhood to adults.
