Re: Police cars at Fast Air

I ask this question in a general sense, and not as it pertains to Fast Air specifically, but what is the benefit (legal or otherwise) of an operator voluntarily surrendering it's OC? Is it purely to save face?

Also, who are the other five operators providing medevac services in MB?

Do yourself a favor and focus all of your efforts on finding a PILOT job, not a ramp job. I know it can be difficult finding that first job, but I d...

Re: Emirates profit soars 62pc to $1.36bn

Great. Too bad you have to live in a cultureless melting pot. No thanks. Enjoy your 19K. I'll enjoy life in Canada. As a side note, I find it so entertaining that ex-pats feel like they have to post and thread like this as though to justify and peacock to the rest of the industry about how great th...

Re: why ATC should have a aviation back ground

Kafufo - you're being somewhat ignorant with your comments. As someone else pointed out, just as you (I presume) don't know the first thing about the systems and procedures used by controllers, we cannot expect them to understand the trivialities of a "vacuum failure". I don't think the link you pos...

Re: NACair OPERATIONS HAVE CEASED AT THIS TIME.

So other than Sprint, Bravo, Wasaya (?) looking - who else might be looking for experienced PC12 drivers? Lets help these guys/gals out. Times sure are good right now though, I'm sure most, if not everyone will be able to find something. Now might be your chance to get that job closer to home/friend...

Not a bad deal if that is the case. Anyone know what sort of time they want other than an ATPL?

Adlair job posting.

In their job posting, they state that they do three week rotations to Canadian "cities". Just wondering which city/cities?

Re: SARON

I agree; the version that I received for the SARON was quite a bit different than the Aerocourse workbook, however there was still much in common. I would still recommend the aerocourse (especially for the SAMRA), but be sure to back it up by going through the study and reference guide on the TC web...

U.S. Notams

Anyone know of a site/online tutorial where I could get information on how to read coded U.S. Notams. Some of them can be a little confusing. :rolleyes:

Thanks!
