Re: Good Companies

Don't flatter yourself about the wife.

More likely the "locals" have sore eyes from the glare of her pasty flesh in the bright northern sun.

Best if you stay in Toronto where you will be surrounded by civilized folk like you.

Re: Any info on Transwest Air

Yes. Still here. This will be my final post on the subject. You may have missed my point. It's not just this thread it's the whole salty aviator thing. Read your own posts. By the way, you posted on March 24 that you had been at a Saskatchewan regional for about a week. You posted on May 5 that you ...

Re: Any info on Transwest Air

My "angle" is this. I do not know Dan but I am sure he is a nice fellow. It drives me nuts when novice aviators catch the AVCANADA fever and start giving advice to others and passing on second hand info. Dan probably will not answer the question and thats OK. It is not a crime to be a new guy but so...

Re: Any info on Transwest Air

Dan,

Not to defend management at TWA, because I don't work there, but you make it sound like you were Jim's best friend and you are very familiar with the other players,

Didn't you last about a week on the dock/ramp prior to quitting for greener pastures?

Re: College of Pilots?

The post 2 above is comparing apples and oranges.

The College is neither the US or Canadian government and any comparison is moot.

Re: Multi Engine-Piston PIC

Krimson Let me clarify my statement. I have never been bullied by a Captain nor have I bullied an FO. I was never a seat warmer and have never used another pilot as one. The number of times that I have found it neccessary to take control from an FO is a very small one. Of course FOs should share all...

Re: Multi Engine-Piston PIC

Though always a valued crew member, the F.O. in a light twin is there to assist the Captain. The Captains job is to run the aircraft properly. It is an added bonus that you can learn from the Captain but training you is not part of their job. They are there to provide supervision.

Just sayin'.

Re: Ground at Wasaya or Transwest?

Consider this: Upon arrival at Blackfly Air you sit down and discuss employment with the Chief Pilot. You are a "professional" pilot. Having spent $50,000. and worked hard for several years you now have MIFR and floats. You have scoured the country on your road trip and really want this job. You are...

Re: Pilot vs. Doctor Pay

I don't dispute the CMA figures but I know for sure that the doctors (GP) in our community are paid $10,000.00 per month base plus $100.00 per hour worked. They also receive a house with all utilities paid and travel allowance.

Re: Man stands throughout 7-hour flight

Flying in this case is most certainly not a "privilege" it is a service that is being provided to a customer that has paid for it.

If your lover gained 250 Lbs. for whatever reason and became a "fat lard" would you tell him that he was a "wasteful and useless member of society"?

Re: Sun Wing FO ad

Yeah, how odd that an employer would publish a comprehensive list of duties and responsibilities in a job posting!!

And they even went so far as to say that all qualified people regardless of race, creed etc. are welcome to apply!

Crazy stuff.
