Re: Jet stream down

I don’t read in there ‘weather ruled out’ ... My information is that at 6:30, in the town, there was wet snow falling with very large flakes. That is odd at -15, other than with an inversion….. IMO it might be worth checking out what are ‘low level inversion eddies’ … (ie saw somewhere NVU Lyndon C...

Re: Swoop Pilot Open House & Info Session

Funny thing is for shits and gigs when Swoop first came out and had a recruiting link on their website I put my name in the hat with more than ample captain/TT time on jets, etc and didn't even get a call or email...Good Karma I guess lol

Re: Do people aspire to be corporate pilots?

Never set out to be either, I liked flying up north the freedom to be my own boss so to speak and it was always something different. When I started at a small scheduled carrier I was bored as hell, same thing everyday. I didn't know it then, but airlines weren't for me. I perhaps like many young pi...

Re: Do people aspire to be corporate pilots?

To the original question do pilots aspire to become corporate pilots? Yes they do. I, from a very young age grew up in a small town with large industry. I cut grass,swept hangar floors, and watched big corporate jets fly in with the big wigs. After the big wigs left to head to their meetings I watch...

Re: Encore - Not Worth It

I can tell you that WJ pilots were very upset with the work conditions offered to Encore people when the airline started. We warned management that they would not get the people they needed to operate those Q400's if they were going to pay such low wages and poor conditions. We were right. Encore s...

Re: TSA fingerprint agencies

I know some Flight Safety campuses have an approved finger print person on site. As long as you get them done and approved by TSA before you start in the sim you're good to go. Although if you don't get approved you (or your employer) have wasted a butt load of money.

Re: Discovery air fire services

So there you go, if anyone else is in my shoes and is curious how strict the 100 multi-PIC requirement is, there is possibly some wiggle room I know for a fact that "wiggle room" to the MNR is having 98 hrs MPIC at start of employment. MIFR is 500 MPIC which they will only budge 10hrs on this case ...

There will be no tender on this, it'll stay In Ornge and continue to do so. Another question comes up then, should operators make a profit fr...
