Re: Grand Manan Medevac Accident

Depends upon where you get your information. Aviation reports or public reports. This is Canada.

Where's the mystery?

Illya
Cutting corners? Too close in and low and slow on base, stalled turning final?
Head of Company should be able to fly better than that? Wonder what kind
of SOPs they got?

Re: Skycare Navajo Gear up YRL Fri May 23rd

Examples abound of pilots with accidents on their record going on to have long, safe careers. I'd be careful with blanket statements. +1 :prayer: Illya ( Doc ), but people keep repeating rumors of studies that cannot be backed up. Pilots need their egos, but lets not do it at the expense of other P...

Re: Temporary foreign pilots in 2013

Perhaps all TFW applications should be accompanied by an advertisement for the job opening on a government-run website, and all responses from potential Canadian employees should go through said website. It would be pretty hard to argue that no one had applied when the government could pull up the ...

Re: Renegotiating with Air Canada

Supply and Demand. Employees aren't worth whatever they think, but rather what the free market dictates. There is no accounting for peoples sense of self worth, depending on their vanity. TFWs will displace us all eventually if the program were allowed to continue to expand.

Re: Temporary foreign pilots in 2013

Okie...are all TFWs Ag Pilots coming from there though. Equivalent qualifications may be acceptable, but doesn't justify the TFW program. I guess what I'm wondering is do all TFW Pilots have equivalent qualifications to those required here for Canadians. AND, how do we - displaced Canadians - know t...

Re: 406.03 - Requirement to Hold a FTUOC

Generally, the Ops Manual is either a copy of someone else's - or, as most outfits do, they hire an Aviation Consultant to put something together and send it in.

I got to stay out of this, time has tarnished my memory. ( But..not too much. )

To the fellow who started this thread. I have been through the process of getting an FTUOC at Port Albernie many years ago. There is a list of publications which you must show at your business location. They will send a Civil Aviation Inspector to check out your location and if alls well give you a ...

Re: Temporary foreign pilots in 2013

Federal Government just released preliminary plans for the changes to the Foreign Workers Program. The Alberta spokesman for the labour federation said it is just more of the same rhetoric. And..it really is, just the same promise for more enforcement - with basically the same rules which have been ...

Re: 406.03 - Requirement to Hold a FTUOC

I worked for Associated Flying School at Boundary Bay years ago, and a guy in street cloths came in and showed R.C.M.P. I.D. He demaded to see our Operating Certificate. I gave it to him and he left with it. ( Ruined the bookings for a couple days.) Actually, you get these young guys who have done n...

They will forever be broke or going broke. We all know the entire history of Air Canada.
One would expect their employees, and families, to rise to their defense. ( Nobody wants to bite the hand that feeds them. )

Re: Cirrus CAPS deployed - aircraft had crossed Pacific in F

It might be because the Pilot has too much talent, e.g.: when Ken Griffey Jr. was with the Yankees I heard he bought an Airplane - but, due to the huge insurance required for loss of Income the insurance company dictated his plane must have a chute. Josh Koscheck also has a Cirrus. I would prefer th...
