Re: New hire bids
Fact: Jazz is losing more pilots than we can hire. Fact, Jazz can't find ATPL pilots, and is mostly hiring low time CPL pilots. Fact, our training department is slowly eroding. The above are facts, what you are saying is spin. And all it does is piss off the pilots at Jazz that know we are in deep ...

Re: New hire bids
What a load of nonesense! You mean that is all you could find. We are about to lose 40 pilots in the next month, and you are claiming we only wanted to hire 16. Just like Colin saying in the earnings call Jazz has no trouble hiring "qualified" candidates. Apprently that means anyone with a CPL, bec...

Re: Mis-set Cruise power
Yes. When parking the airplane, you put the condition levers to "start feather" before shutting the engines down, as well as when starting the engines. When in flight, the props would self destruct under such high torque loads, so the airplane won't allow the props to actually go into feather, at l...

Re: A bush flying legend has passed
Sorry for your loss NWONT. I flew in and out of YPL a bunch, spent many hours droning around the area in a turboprop doing medevacs so very likely heard Pete on the radio at some point. Still, not lost on me the fact that guys like Pete were the forerunners and trailblazers to what I loved (love) do...

Someone mentioned King City Airport... The buildings are all gone now. Beamish and the following company no longer seen anywhere.

Re: Potential Airline Bailout
The difference is, regardless of the mistakes or ill-advised decisions that the Pearsons, Mulroneys, Clarks, Chrétiens and Harpers (...even the original Trudeau) made in the past, they at least had the best intentions of the country at heart. They were "Statesmen". Justin Trudeau is not. This guy is...

Re: TSB Investigation - Canadian Approach Minimums
So you will eventually see a few SA CATII approaches pop up across the country. It will get the job done. Until some airplane ends up off the edge because they lost the centerline (no lighting). It's 2021. WTF do we do everything so mickey mouse in Canada? It's embarrassing. Back to reading about o...

Re: CYNJ CADORS
It appears there are lots of pilots who don't know the rules? Almost all seem like valid write-ups to me. So what's more likely? That Langley has a massively above-average fleet of idiots and somehow every other airport in the lower mainland has managed to avoid them? Or that there's something else...

Re: CYNJ CADORS
The other thing to keep in mind is that Nav Canada is in the process of reducing service where they can (and really they've always been about saving money) so it stands to reason that Controllers and FSS Specialists would be wanting to "justify" their jobs in any and every possible way, including CA...

Re: Motion in flight simulator
I will add that this is my 31st year training experienced training pilots for initial Approved Check Pilot delegation. I actually created the ACP course training standard for TCCA in 1989. I think it qualifies as descent experience. Last point that was intended in the paragraph you didn't like: I'm...

Re: Preventing Double Flameouts
Air Nova had a couple with the Dash 8 years ago. One out of YQY and I thought there was another out of YYT or YDF but I can't find it right now. There's been a mod done to the intakes to help prevent this as well as new SOPs for the Dash 8 in terms of checking intakes. To my knowledge there's been n...

I have no idea worldwide, I can only speak for my operation. Your generalization about little effort being put in to ensure instructor quality seems to be quite blunt and rather broad.

Re: B1-B Lancer
Back in the good old days, I remember the B1-B at the Shearwater Air Show. The Americans used to bring a ton of hardware there, and they flew several machines too. I will never forget the B1-B entering stage left from behind the hill (spectators sat on a great hill for viewing), wings swept back at ...
