nothing wrong with YXS; the old place or the new. Not a fan of YQT hotel location. The hotel is what you'd expect there. YYT property is lame; we can do better, its just going to cost us. YYZ one of the hotels there needs to change! Fav's would be getting "displaced" to a 5 star location in tropical...

Lots of ppl went to hotels last night as the 'whale' had issues leaving YYZ.
Any ideas; it looked like the nose gear was cranked from pushback or the nose steering went AWOL.
Poor buggers!!

77W, I'd agree with most of this info. To generalize, before Encore was around, you probably have another 2-3 years of experience to go...and the time frame would likely shorten up if you had some time at Jazz, Georgian, Calm Air, etc. Although it's nice to see a person focused and have a goal, don'...

To: flyer 1492, Your comments are inaccurate, and the tone of your response was very poor. WJ's last three CP's have been some of the best guys you could fly with or want to deal with in an office scenario. They have our backs, and never hesitate to reach out and help if/when needed. The crap they p...

Poor ol WJ700...sounds like they had to pack his/her bag for once and go on a "real pairing"... ...and stay in a hotel. :shock: I'm laughing with you, not at you. Same for me in Jan! Not the sked I had anticipated/hoped for, but it had been 8 or 10 months since I'd had a "less than ideal sked". WJ70...

re; "stand-ups"

uh, well yes, sometimes.
ie; during IROP recovery pairings- case in point; last week. But its been years since I've seen/heard of them.

I think you have to average around 50 hours though. and if you don't, the guy with the LuluLemon jacket comes to your house; makes you drink some koolade, slaps some wings on yeer shirt and takes you back to the hangar...where you await your next FLiCA mission. The flexibility of the system is quit...

check yerr PM's!

I like the landscape frame, and colors in the Caravan shot. It looks almost remote. Nice snap!!

CLguy; that last pic of the 415 is one of the best I've seen. Kudo's to your friend on the shot!! Publish it!

just hired someone that lives in YUL.

The commute to YYZ would be pretty easy...free beer/wine too? LOL

coast2coast, et all, Doesn't sound right at all. My guess is a technical glitch...unfortunately too common with any first round event. (Never buy a new issue car, computer, etc). Sorry...and don't take it personally. Like friendlybear, if this is really the company you want to work for, then I'd be ...

Tex North, Yes, there is at least one guy there. Don't think you'll find him on a forum...he's not into computers, he's into "the mountain". He's being doing it for a long time. The good thing about the schedule is that there is options for just about every possible scenario. Doesn't mean you'll alw...

as per "factchecker" - 'So lets say you are in your early 20,s. In your late 20's you are a very marketable guy with quality wide body time. Go home if you want. Fly for WestJet. Or stay and get the left seat in your mid 30's.' Sorry, there may be the odd guy like this that gets on at WJ, but not li...

You can't go wrong with the 206! Lots of great machines out there, doing what you are about to. If the strips are really tight or you are often full, consider getting one with either a smidge more power (ie, 550 and new prop combo), or a STOL kit, or if you are really fortunate...BOTH. If you always...

its about time! Correct machine for the job...um, you see those mts in the background? Nuff said!

Can someone tell me how to make the picture bigger?

quote - " I am wondering if I would be happier pursuing something I have always wanted to do, or if I should just stick it out in my current career in hopes that it will get better " That is sad. Life is short! Something you have always wanted to do...is certainly worth pursing. No, it won't be easy...

quote ... "and keep our stock high"

I'm pretty sure hell will freeze before I see the stock stay at a high price because we adjusted the FA scale! Perhaps if you could pull the price of oil down, that might do something significant!!

"zee"

I went to your page, in order to send you some info to try and help you out, but there is nothing listed.

PM me.

to "onspeed"- have you been to yyc and gone for a walkabout there?

DaveP - kudo's for keeping it real.

is the upgrade timeline the biggest issue, or just one of? It was, and still would be my deciding factors; 1. Most stable flying job in Canada; job security 2. Great schedule 3. Pay is pretty good; the savings program with the company's match is top in Canada 4. Management works with us to keep it a...

"All is well with the gang at TSC, just the regular aviation up and downs, no different than anywhere else. Oh yeah one last thing, had a couple of hotel changes, went from one 4 star to another 4 star." The tie clip part was quite funny too! Its always good to keep perspective, non? ...yup, sounds ...

there's some good utube of the PAC750 doing short strip work in PNG?

@ Lateralus and all; I think I see a trend in the hiring this year. Its an upward and increasing trend. But that's just a feeling wrt Jan LF numbers at both big shops. Folks, pay attention to the conference call tomorrow for more important news! It might be the begining of a new era, and then I'm pr...

there were a few tails that ended up with some type of bad primer, and they quickly developed a boeing rash and started shedding paint....long before their 10 paint warranty. It was tossed back n forth between Seattle and Cowtown until they ponied up for a corrective plan. never liked the special pa...

@M. Essaie- not very many if you are trying for 1 or 2 day pairings, or say if you live in Vancouver, you could prioritize layovers in YVR, and you'd be home...say, half of your overnights in a month. Sample trips; 1 day; LAS or PSP or MCO turn or Mexico and back (PVR, MZT etc) or alberta to BC, twi...
