In regards to DFC, Bill is a great guy with a great team. You must keep in mind here that they are not totally in the business of off the street training. If that's what you're looking for then you'll pay a little more. DFC is set up with the Western University Pilot Program which is a professional ...

I like the effort placed to put the "photo-shopped" Canada flag on the nose, while not removing the US Flag on the tail.....

If you have the day off I encourage all to attend. Just to clarify this Conference is not associated with the AME memberships such as the regional symposiums. It's an effort between the 4 major carriers and with funding from the generous sponsors. Should be a good time, plus...food and beverage will...

Heavy maintenance was dissolved and moved to several MRO's within Canada and other countries. The Line Maintenance environment still exists and through attrition are hiring again. This would be the best time to get your foot in the door. Keep in mind, when you put your transfer through, the opening ...

It is absolutely possible as Conehead mentioned. Lots of apprentice positions opened in the Windsor and Toronto area if you can make the move. Keep your options open to at least get some experience.

Cheers,

My old manager is now the Avionics Manager there and he says things are pretty good. Sorry no details but he was a great manager so if things were bad they should start to change. He was/is a fantastic leader and boss. They were looking for a new DOM a while ago so maybe change is coming.

To perform a proper 24 Month Altimeter test the Altimeter must be removed from the aircraft to follow the manufacturers recommendations for adding the vibration portion... That being said, if you're an appropriately rated AMO as CAR 571 App B requires...then that step can be avoided and signed off a...

If you're under the impression Mode C will be obsolete don't you think it would be best then to install a Mode S??

wifi is on 25 of the EMB 190's and all the A321's. A320 installation to start again this year with STC issues from gogo, however 3 have been completed (280, 282 and 415).

Also, the Wide-body wifi has been selected and will be installed on the fleet starting this fall.

Yes, It is not necessary (Although Recommended) that you complete a 2 year training course to work on aircraft. In fact you can still work towards your AME License if you complete the tasks required in a logbook and complete the exams after 5 years. The 2 year course assuming its a TC accredited fac...

Not too sure why there is so much emphasis on IAI's Drone manufacturing...? What does that have to do with Air Canada sending their B767's to IAI for Heavy Checks? Interesting read though...some inaccuracies but i guess that's expected.

Sounds like if you've been offered the job already you can ask for any money you want. I personally have never been offered a job and then the topic of salary comes up after thefact but...anything can happen.

Thats awesome! Thumbs up to them! Congrats! I'll be flying! Better then Rouge and Westjet! So Rouge and Westjet fly to Amsterdam?? I think not... Rouge doesn't but AC does... I think what you meant was AC will.... MONTREAL, Sept. 25, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - Air Canada announced today it will introduce ...

Staying with the "Airplane" movie theme.....when the FA is so called trained to read checklists to the captain does that include manually "working" the autopilot..........

They've had phones in the seatback for years now. Why would this be any different? I've made plenty of calls from the Credit Card Phones.

Put your earplugs in and enjoy the inflight movie.

Just to confuse the matter. When a Manufacturer issues a Mandatory SB it is still not Mandatory. Only AD's are mandatory. It is up to the owner of an Aircraft to comply with AD's. This may be accomplished in many ways. A MSB is just the Manufacturers suggestion on compliance. I should also add that ...

Yes we do......

We had to write an SB for a few Flight Schools in the States operating DA20 C1's to remove the ACS Switch with the turn to start style (shown in the post by the Colonel). Students were doing MAG checks but going to far and engaging the starter. it was to install the push to start style switch. One m...

We simply hand you the stuff to fill out and mail it away when you bring it back . Any delays that occur...

This has come up a few times before. I think it is best to pick a specialty as a career. You're either an AME full time or a pilot full time. I encourage everyone to expand and learn new things but as a career, Pick one or transition to one. Not both.

I had an issue like that on my Trailblazer which has an electroncally controlled throttle body. I removed the air intake and sprayed Throttle body cleaner and scrubbed with a toothbrush all around the butterfly valve. I haven't had weird revving issues since and I was seeing it almost everyday for a...
