Re: The person below me

False! I was working a double shift yesterday, and i'm still at work this morning. Is that even legal?

Re: accident CFAQ?

Si on prends le RAC au pieds de la lettre, Luckyboy a raison. Voir l'article 401.28. http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviationcivile/servreg/affaires/rac/partie4/401.htm#401_28 Ceci étant dit, je ne connais pas beaucoup de pilotes qui n'ont jamais utilisé cette méthode pour monter des heures de vol en vue d'une ...

The wife was understanding and all, but after a while, she g...

Re: Venez au secours de l'aviation générale à CYHU

Aux dernières nouvelles, la mesure ne passera pas au conseil le 14 juillet en raison de l'opposition de DASH-L. Nous avons donc quelques semaines de plus pour voler de nuit ou le dimanche. Espérons que les dirigeants de l'aéroport arriveront à trouver un compromis car une telle mesure pourrait faire...

Yay! 1000 Hours

I'm due to reach 1000 flight hours tomorow morning.
I fully expect to receive a call from Cathay Pacific and have some hot pilot groupies come crawling to my knees begging for my manhood.
I hope I will not be dispapointed. :mrgreen:

Re: The use of Airport identifiers

Same here, I just can't get used to saying ''Trudeau tower''. ATC corrected me the last time I used ''Dorval Tower'' (last wee...

I have to agree. I am a true Montreal Canadiens fan, but they played really bad at the end of the season. I doubt they will get very far in the playoffs.

I like to keep it simple when it comes to drinks. If you have some Cachaca (brasilian rum) at home, the Caipirinha is sure to get the ladies talking to you (if they are not turned off by your unemployed ass :mrgreen: ). Put some lime in the bottom of a short glass. Squish the lime. Fill the glass wi...

Re: Is there anything beer and cigarettes can't do?

Things are about the same here. The whole province of Quebec basically runs on cigarette and alcool taxes as well as gaming revenue. (700 millions $ for cigarette taxes, 500 millions $ for alcool taxes and 1,4 billion $ for gaming revenue.) :shock:

Re: What type of logbook do you use?

I'm aware that buying your first logbook is a big milestone in ''the pilot experience'', but a nice excel worksheet beats any paper logbook. No paperwork, no more scratches, automatic sums, no more ''wtf did I wrote here?''
