Re: Any Vancouver pilots around?
I stay NOT suggest Boundary Bay unless you enjoy spending most of your time going back and forth between the practice area near pitt meadows and waiting to get into the circuit while the air is filled with ppl that have NO idea what they are doing.... Your best bet is pitt meadows plus BB is in the ...

What If I dont want to work for Air Canada....
Hi, I love this forum and it has pretty much scared me off my dream of getting my commercial rating, but everyone bitching seems to be gunning for the hardest jobs to get, that make the most money. I would be perfectly happy making $30,000 flying around some dinky plane. Why is everyone so hell bent...

Re: Texting and Flying??
Actually Tim, you might be closer to the truth than I would normally admit, but.. What IS with the damn kids and their texting and tweeting?

Re: Career in Canada Vs. USA
Really no contest. More opportunities and better pay in Canada. But since you have dual citizenship, why limit yourself to one or the other? Nothing stopping you from going back and forth for a good job. I would think due to the small amount of airlines in Canada there would be less opportunities a...

Career in Canada Vs. USA
If you were starting your Aviation Career at age 21, and had a dual citizenship, where would you look to start, Canada or the USA? It seems to me that there are many more opportunities in the America if I am not mistaken. Any insight would help!

Wow you people are so brainwashed it is hilarious. Weed is completely harmless from a physical point of view, and has many positive effects. Mentally yes it can have negative effects but that is like anything else if you over do it. What is worse, someone smoking weed during their off time in the ev...

AC stock
Is this a good investment with their recent "success". I keep hearing it is a stock to watch from reuters and other places. Do you feel their load factors will continue to grow? Thanks!
