Ugh, it hurts that i can be accurately described as the ol team. Circa 2002/2003. I was out for a long time, but I’m back in the last couple of years and made my way onto a king air 200 like my handle (which was the king air my grandfather flew)

Got my licenses in 2007 had a good job in 2008 and got laid off. Spent 4 years working various jobs and ramp positions because at 400 hrs i couldn't find anything. In 2012 I hung up my headset and became a long haul trucker. Same job basically but was killer on my personal life and health. Got marri...

This whole thing has done a very good job showing you what actually is essential. Oil is negative now but none of us are dying or starving for the lack of burning it. Yep.. masks, gloves, and face shields for all patient transfers, gowns for Influenza Like Illnesses or suspected COVID patients. Hav...

For us in Manitoba 0 covid flights. And our requests have dropped way off. It hasn’t got into the north yet and the best way to keep it that way is to not bring people down here to get exposed so im told our triage section at the provincial dispatch is leaving most people where they are these days....

Pretty similar to that for us too. Told we are getting some fancy UV light thingy to disinfect after the wipe down. Haven’t actually had a Covid patient yet though. Ambulance dispatch has slowed us right down overall trying not to move people around if they can help it.

Bonds have always been a shady way for shitty operators to push their pilots to do things they shouldn't in fear of losing their job. There are enough reputable operators out there that don't have bonds, and if EVERYONE just walked away every time they were told you need to sign a bond they would A...

It’s down from a couple of months ago yes but it’s still up over the last year and the last 5.

Saw this article on Twitter provides some context of how bad one of these could get. A quick synopsis of the 1918 "spanish" flu https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/journal-plague-year-180965222/ except the Spanish flu was literally H1n1 or Swine flu before we started calling it that. I...

Yes. I thought that Air Canada crewed heavier especially since they use RP's where Transat does not. Believe that was in fact brought up in one of the earlier merger threads.

TS is already heavier on pilot:aircraft ratio compared to AC

I was under the impression that the opposite is true.

I'm not saying Spirit or any other ULCC/Lcc Is great, in fact I've never flown on them or any other. However, it seems a lot of people's complaints (other than when you see whole plane loss stranded etc) boil down to "I didn't read the fine print and figured it was the same product as Delta"

I mean.....he's not wrong. It's IS better than a couple of old challengers and a 310 (300?). It's just no less wasteful for us than it was for them. Wrong plane for the mission.

I'm honestly thinking after all the anecdotes that they prefer the sub 1000 hr guys. Less "bush to get out of them" as someone phrased it. I'm probably wrong if we had the real figures but it sure sounds that way reading these threads

Fire patrol and pipeline aren't going to low time pilots anymore. People frown on paying for type ratings so why would renting be different. If you can find a school with the availability to let you head out on an extended trip with a plane. Times have changed considerably.

Your $400 set is just “passive” ear protection. Clamps on your head and blocks sound. Your $1000+ headsets have some form of electronic noise cancelling. Will be much quieter not clamp your head so hard (they don't have to) but will require batteries. They may have extra features like Bluetooth etc....
