I didn't know that pilots who are flying 705 could do their own flight planning?...

I believe it has something to do with total amount of seats at the operator and what category they are in (704 705) if you need co authority dispatch.

Apparently this issue has raised its ugly head again. Contrary to a company memo detailing the TC memo about crew deadheading being 'crew operating in the course of their employment' - was just denied access to the YUL crew checkpoint as apparently there is a 'new' memo from TC that says our ticket...

And now a video from the NY Times...

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/09/vid ... ssile.html

No doubt anymore.

Wow... tragic I cant believe this has happened again.

At $2 billion ish per launch and what 11 billion already invested and it hasn't even flown. It's a major disappointment and is hindering access to space because it is way to expensive. It's also a shame the RS-25 engine they are putting on SLS is one of the best and most capable rocket engines ever ...

So. Minimum cost as stated on the website $126k + tax Plus you already need a diploma or degree and you are paying for your own type rating. Bad precedent in my opinion, and that's a big investment to make that I cant imagine very many people would be able to afford. Smart on Jazz part if they can g...

A lot of time the detectors go off even if you don’t have any metal. It’s just a randomizer to keep the CATSA monkeys busy. I asked about this. Apparently there is a sensitivity setting some are turned up some are turned down. I had a pair of shoes that were 50/50 depending on the screening point.

I assume it's been parted out and cut up for scrap by now?

It has been parked on the ramp outside for awhile. You can see it from airport road. They put some new sheet metal on it so she doesnt look so bad.

I dunno if it's still there

I just want to mention. Millenials stopped in the early 90s. Anyone born passed 93-94 is considered Gen Z

There are things moving towards the moon and maybe Mars. Just dont depend on NASA and the US Government to fund it directly. Our best chance in my opinion of getting there soon lies with the private companies. I would not be in the slightest bit surprised to see them get us back first. It is however...

Assuming this continues with AC what would the timeline look like?

https://www.thestar.com/business/2019/06/04/newsalert-group-mach-makes-rival-offer-for-transat-worth-14-per-share.html Quebec firm Group Mach makes rival offer for Transat worth $14 per share "and convince the Quebec government to finance nearly one-quarter of the purchase." I'm wondering if that m...

On one hand I see this is as basically a metro 2 with the rosemount system.

Single AOA attached to a stick pusher.

I think every metro pilot is well versed in the drill SAS clutch off.

On the other hand I see how crews weren't aware, Boeing didnt tell anyone really till after Lion Air.

This accident has me worried. Jump seater from other airline. Reminds me of fedex in the 80’s. I really hope that my fears are wrong. The jump seater just got hired at a major (American?) and was supposed to start ground school shortly. United. They gave him his wings and left his seat empty in the...

Apparently Cayman Airways has grounded their 737 max

I hate to quote myself but.... Using the information Chorus included in the presentation on the corporate website related to the modified CPA with AC, here is the projected Express fleet circa 2025: 60 76 seat jets (SKY included) 15 50 seat jets 36 78 seat props 19 50 seat props The piece that seem...

Nothing about pay increase... must be by design? AC wins if anyone wants to stay at Jazz cause pay is so low. AC wins if anyone wants to flow over cause they’re so short pilots... and newbies go on fixed pay. It’s a win - win - win for AC. Personally I don’t necessarily want to go to AC.... if pay ...

Its not the tailwind... its 500$...

No no no

Variable tailwind on final + $500

So I'm not fully up to date on this... is Swoop still hiring OTS for the FO side? Will this be affecting them?

The RFP wants 6 twin turbine and one jet airplane. That doesnt seem like enough. When I was there a few years ago there was what about 16 planes and crews for basic transport us life flight plus the twin otters. My memory of life flight was their on call nurse and or doctor constantly pushing whate...

Gotta love when insta gets the news out faster than, the news.

I saw that this morning and figured it was from a few years ago or something. Haha. Instagram #1 news source of the north.

Interesting responses, thank you very much. I suppose I must not have had a clear understanding about what constitutes of GDO at a place like Jazz. Surely they don't reserve the right to work you to the maximum allowed in the CARS, do they? Perhaps if there are not GDO's in the sense in which I int...

I spent many many hours listening to Archie. Sad to hear it

I like to start topics with my name in the topic title to stroke my ego. LOL, I didn't pick up on that. I thought he/she really just liked TSC (Tractor Supply Company Stores) like I do. Got a great King Cutter attachment for my tractor there recently, which I am sure you guys are equally stoked abo...

If you are assigned CYYZ base and you live in YUL how much time will it take to transfer ?

Id guess less than a month.
