Corporate Pilots who have made the switch
Looking for some input from those who have made the transition from the corp side of aviation. Starting to reconsider the options as life is changing. Trying to figure out if I would fit in, as I have no airline experience and have been flying corp for the majority of my career. Wouldn't want to ini...

Re: Profile Locked?
888, and tech support seemed to be the only option. FYI, I heard from the gent on the other end of the phone at website support that they have been having problems with this. From what I understand the usual quick fix is to delete your cookies, close your browser and then relaunch. Thanks for all yo...

Does anyone have any contact info for whom I should get a hold of to "unlock" my profile on the website? I have gone to Taleo's site and it directs me to contact AC, and AC FAQ directs me to Taleo. I'm guessing I need to contact HR? Would anyone care to forward the contact info. Called the triple 8 ...

Bus Emg Lgd at YYZ?
Anyone have the info as to what took place on Thursday morning (approx 0940), as an AC Airbus (320 I think) landed 15L with the trucks out. I was doing a pre-flight at the time, and heard someone comment on the black exhaust coming out of the No. 2 engine while it was on the roll. Any how, I did cat...

Life Insurance....what is everyone doing?
Looking into Life insurance for myself, and having a hard time finding out that most insurance companies will not cover Disability insurance when I'm at work ("while in the airraft").

Northwings, To answer your question, the Faclon 900 and Citation Excel are based and maintained in London. The rest of the fleet has maintenance done in Buttonville (Cheyenne's, King Air, Piaggio, Falcon 10/100's). From what I hear they are looking for people in the Buttonville base. Major Intersect...

Here is the video from CTV's site, just scroll down to the Title " BC Plane Forced to make emrg. Ldg", and click on the video icon. Them boys done good. I wonder if that had anything to do with the new AD that came out for the nose gear on the 200?
