Can anyone suggest or recommend an ACP or examiner on the 737NG/MAX?
Need to get a private sim check done.
TIA.

Re: Air France tailstrike
I was a passenger on the flight.
The flare was quite exaggerated and I knew just before the impact that it wasn't ops normal.
But the strike felt more like hard landing rather than a tail impact.
The captain made a PA saying they went around because of the runway being occupied.

Don’t!!!!!
The JS on the E2 is a JS from hell.
Come by for a chat. We’d love to give a short guided tour.
You have been warned.

Re: To the Airlines
Your first paragraph is spot on. The world over, air travel is still considered a luxury. It's moments like these that people realise it's an integral part of the national infrastructure. The industry is taxed to death with minimal return investment. I echo your sentiments on subsidies. Every form o...

Re: Flair off runway excursion YKF
You can paraphrase all you want, the exact wording is 'or' with respects A/G sensors and RA for TR deployment as per the FCOM.
But we veer entirely off topic at this point.
Best to await a preliminary report before we speculate further.

Re: Flair off runway excursion YKF
Is it not habit to just pull the reversers on touchdown all the time? I don’t think I even think about it anymore Yes it is under normal circumstances. However, when you read the accident reports, often there is some other mentally demanding issue going on that distracts. Such as hydroplaning and d...

Re: Flair off runway excursion YKF
Not too surprising, most overruns are the result of the long/fast landing. And or a speedbrake that wasn't armed or deployed. Even if not armed, the speedbrakes will deploy automatically once the wheels spin up and levers positioned for reverse thrust. If you're going to speculate do it grounded on...

Re: Foreign DEC
What a sad place to be for Canadian pilots. I've said it before and I'll say it again, there too many Canadian expats, including me, who would love to come back home. But the wages are not even close to international standards which makes it the only deterrent for many to make a move. I shake my hea...

Re: Sunwing Airlines Bringing Foreign Pilots This Winter
But there isn't a pilot shortage yet. There is a shortage of experienced pilots willing to work for substandard wages especially at a company with an undefined future. There are plenty of expats who would gladly come back to Canada, but it would require reevaluating the pay scale. Sunwing has falle...

Re: Sunwing Airlines Bringing Foreign Pilots This Winter
Sunwing needs to hire approximately 150 pilots to crew for the winter season. This doesn't take into account the fact that many at Sunwing are leaving for Air Canada, Flair, and other opportunities. Significantly, the recent upgrade process at Sunwing for 20 spots magically went all the way to the ...

Re: Hiring DEC's
Any plans for DEC hiring? Was checking out their careers site. Currently looking only for effoes.
Can apply for the trainer position but prefer to be in the air rather than in the box.

Re: Adding a Type Rating from a foreign Licence to a TC ATPL
I've done it. Take your logbook and your last recurrent from your former airline/CAA into any office and they will transfer the TR onto your TC ATPL. I did my paperwork at the Vancouver office. Albeit, I did it at a time when the world was a bit more normal than it is right now. Check with the offic...

Re: 737NG Booklet
The cockpit companion guide is detailed and well presented. It’s worth the money. I had the hard copy before the age of PEDs. Didn’t hesitate to get the app when it became available. The MRG caters more towards handling non normals. Another valuable addition to your toolkit. As mentioned earlier the...

Re: Skywest resuming new hire training
I think the USA is going to rebound long before Canada does. They seem to be almost business as usual. Their citizens don’t watch CBC news. Amen to that. It’s all doom and gloom every evening. Over the course of the pandemic I’ve seen absolutely nothing positive (no pun intended) out of that news c...

Re: Where is this so called shortage
Don't sell yourself short by going the way of the ramp. Those who did were just cheap whores who conveniently claim that that's just the way the cookie crumbles. I really can't differentiate between them and someone paying for their type rating. Call it tomayto or tomahto. And please don't let these...
