For sure it's a Viscount base, I saw one. I'm bidding for the DC-8 though.

They're just minima, as long as you meet the minimum standard in each category, you don't need meet them within those proportions. Business jet jobs have required odd minima for many years. I don't think they're looking for ex-military fighter types but they don't want to exclude them either. Realis...

Captains I flew with on 705 aircraft could be seen with a butt hanging out of the DV window while freight was being unloaded and pax were de-planing, I think even while fuelling in the north. That was over 20 years ago, but just a blink of an eye on a geological time scale.

I would leave aviation entirely before taking on that job again, even for twice the money. Maybe it's just me.

No wonder the governing party repealed the Taxpayer Transparency Act. If that contract value provided by Babcock is true, then that's roughly $16.9 million per year CAD for the Tanker Program Alone. That's more than the entire cost for MGAS in a single year. The total cost for MGAS needs to include ...

Maybe the "Big Announcement" is a Scent Free Workplace.

A State Operator or Government Air Service as applicable is not a business in pursuit of an income or profit by operating the aircraft. Any money that changes hands is simply between government agencies for cost recovery. Patients are not charged for the transport, the taxpayer is. Employees of othe...

704 requires jets of any size to demonstrate landings within 60% of available LDA before dispatch, accounting for all conditions present etc. 604 and its equivalent in the US, FAR part 91, requires landings within the LDA. The AFM will require further factoring for gravel, wet, or contamination, so ...

digits There is no 604 "loophole". The jet meets Transport Category performance requirements for every departure, gravel or pavement wet or dry, one engine inoperative. If it can't, the trip is a no go. Regarding Winnipeg-Churchill, the time advantage over turbo props is nearly one hour one way, tha...

Digits, the response time from Winnipeg is a necessary metric for critical care trips because all of the doctors and neonatal teams etc. are based there where the big hospitals are. Any aircraft repositioning to Winnipeg would only add to the delays before taking the medical expertise to the communi...

The jet in the RFP is for "out of province work". The loss of jet service will be "in the province" due to the inability to dispatch a jet to short runways under CAR 704 requirements. That's a loss of service for the province.

I'm wondering how the current level of performance and safety can be maintained, as thegovernment claims, if the jet service is lost? (Considering critical care trips)

M'Kay, I need those TPS reports this afternoon.

I'm looking for an FO who can "Angle the deflector shields while I make the calculations for the jump to hyperspace." You seem qualified for that. Are you interested?

Privatization is rarely about costs, although the idea is sold to the public more easily if they believe that.

Heavy maintenance in house.

To be brief and to the point: 1) Interviewer was very welcoming, to the point, informal in a formal way. A positive experience. 2) The video interview is a half decent tutorial for the face to face interview. 3) Psych test is a real gem. 4) After close to 25 years in the industry, no matter what hap...

I read works by Noam Chomsky, Carl Sagan, Peter D Ward, and Tony Kern to name a few. The Economist was productive reading for a business newspaper. Keep the mind working and stereotypes challenged. BTW, if you have a degree, don't include it on your resume for entry level jobs in this business, it'l...

I mean, he will be missed.
