This is the attitude of a beaten down wife, stand up for yourselves.

If you think it is a fair deal vote yes
If you don’t like it vote no

Just don’t vote out of fear because then you play right into managements hand.

Re: IATRA questions

Re: Harbour Air FO qualifications?

First of all congratulations on your CPL progress, it is one of the first few steps to getting into this industry and definitely an exciting time. You seem to have the right attitude, but remember you had an interview for a dock position. I would not let the lure of a right seat spot distract you fr...

Re: Orca Airways

Heard another rumour recently about this outfit. Really seems ridiculous but you never know...

Pilots are taking another paycut so that the company can afford to buy some Metros for the fleet.

Re: Orca Airways

I'm quite suprised to be seeing things turn so sour for this operation. Especially after growing consistently from such a small outfit to one that has 15+ aircraft. Anyone have any info as to why they have lost these routes?

Hey everyone, Instead of making a new thread I figured I would just add this here. Does anyone on the inside/in-the-know know anything more about their latest job posting for an Operations Manager?

Re: Vancouver VTA procedures

Heres is some input from my experiences, hope it helps! 1) I would say it mostly depends on the time of day and traffic in the vicinity as well as the amount of staff available at the control centre. 2) I would generally take a look at the VTA routes and compare them to your intended route and possi...

Re: CRJ200 Nav Canada ILS Inspection Cockpit & Tower View

Very cool videos, thanks for sharing.

Does anyone know what is involved with the calibration process and how it works? I tried googling but not much explanation there.

This was a cool read regarding how it was done back in the day
