Is he running for Captain rep? I haven't seen a list of nominations yet. How do you know who is running?

Now he calls for censorship... definitely a Liberal.

Quit whining. Nobody cares and nobody is coming to help you. It’s up to you, not your instructor, not your examiner, and not us nobody’s on the internet. You are not special and neither am I. Thousands have walked the path before and thousands more have given up. So what you have failed before, so ...

Not really used to Flying something with this much momentum so even if I change the power, it takes a while to notice a difference! My last failure was in May and I had two flights recently, one of them fully hand flown but both had shaky but slightly better approaches Stop making excuses. You're n...

I generalized a bit much there. I suppose those types would be the same if anywhere else. It's just that the previous post there really pointed to it. Maybe it's the posters perspective. Did I say I was launching a lawsuit? No. But I won't be surprised when someone does. I'm sure there is someone w...

"when you hand fly" - that's all you should be doing at your level, I can't believe they would allow AP use for initial IFR training. Chasing g/s with pitch will do it... pitch for speed, power for slope... How far out are you now from your last failure? You know what you're problem is, are you goin...

If giving up is what you got from that then maybe that's what you want to hear... The road isn't easy, it's not like sitting in an office, it takes enormous dedication. 10 years ago I don't think it was an easy path to follow either... Better than 20 years ago, but I had very qualified friends that ...

I'm waiting to hear about the law suit against him... 20 years of taking someone else's upgrade, someone else's pay cheque and the trickle effect down the list as he went up all the way to the 787...

Sounds like a lot of questions and realisations you should have been coming up with before you dropped cash on pursuing a job/career where success is unlikely for most... If you aren't all in, your chance of success is lower. If you aren't willing to sacrifice, you chance if success is even lower ye...

The "examiner" shouldn't be telling you anything like "turn now" while you're still tuning a navaid or fix. I'd chalk that up to his problem or insecurity. How can you turn when you aren't configured to navigate yet. Don't rush, slow it down, it's your aircraft, you control the pace. If you are inte...

20.15.02 For a period of 30 months from the date of the first CRB on which new equipment appears at a Base, or 24 months from the first planned pairing for the new equipment at that Base, whichever is longer, the Company will inform ALPA of the number of A11.02 Pilots required that will be trained ...

FO, held the base well out of seniority while others unable to get back but can only recently What base? What position?

There are ways for FIs to get captain upgrade out of seniority. Probably what he is talking about. Which ways are those? Contract article please. The only way to really get a position "out of seniority" and get paid for it is go to management. FO, held the base well out of seniority while others un...

It's weak for sure. But don't let one guy and his lack of integrity break your unity and resolve to support this group to get better. Fock him. Eye on the ball, elected reps aren't ALPA, the membership is, critical year ahead, we need unity and to support each other - otherwise AC is going to run us...

Absolutely. Stalk at the sun West bound for 5 or 6 hours ages you.

I find long turns, South in the morning / North in the afternoon pretty rough too - leaves you getting blasted through the left side window all day long.

Not sure why you’d think that. Are you sure that your actually seeing a bonafide “dermatologist”? Mine would beg to differ… But while we are at it the Canadian Cancer Society would also recommends it. https://cancer.ca/en/cancer-information/reduce-your-risk/be-safe-at-work/sun-and-uv#:~:text=Wear%2...

My dermatologist told me. UVA isn't blocked by the windscreens, only UVB. UVAC causes cancer, UVB sunburns. And I still don't wearing long sleeves.

You're still grasping at that covid shit? Jesus, covidiots are still going to covidiot apparently.

Wear a long sleeve shirt and keep put the shade up if there's direct sunlight. The cockpit windows block most UV light, so you should be fine. I wouldn't listen to a guy advocating for long sleeves. Tells you everything you need to know. "block most UV" So you won't get a sunburn, just skin cancer.

I use Neutrogena SPF 50 moisturizer. They have multi packs at Costco. I don't always wear it, but I try. I don't reapply, but I'm not doing long haul.

Dermatologist I saw several years back says we all should be wearing max SPF at work.

Sorry.

Maybe they did you a favour though..

Their school isn't for you, I wouldn't want to fit in around a bunch of kid cadets... Do you really have to go across the country though? What about Pro IFR in ZBB? Are they still around? Did you call them? Same problem?

OT is a bad look for any unionist. I never understand why any of us would go for more work when we are already dealing with such shitty scheduling. If the company gets desperate enough they will drop your flying and pay you premium too, but someone always seems to step up... But I looked back a coup...
