I'd say that if this is the worst thing that happened in your career to the point of launching a lawsuit, you've led a pretty good life... I'm sure that hypothetical suit would garner a lot of sympathy :roll: 58 I expect a few lawsuits as well. And really, there should be. You can't fraud people fo...

I hate how everyone gets caught up on the example and not the concept. You may well get screwed when a good person in management leaves, maybe porter or flair or whoever go bust and suddenly we have a glut of 3000+ hour guys looking for jobs, and the low end of the industry doesn't move. All true, ...

Also, I was never a big fan of those complicated acronyms. I'd rather ask myself the following question : what do I need next ? This! All those stupid acronyms just to make a turn. Unnecessary stress. Just asking myself "what's next" created a lot of mental peace and quiet. "Next turn in 20 seconds...

You should all leave the same note and then when you get called either:
1) Have them restart your rest as it got interrupted
2) Report them to TC

Whichever option, or both, suits you best at the time

I have not looked into this in detail, but CKK3 shows in the CFS to literally be on the 49th parallel. CFS shows customs numbers for the US and Canada which seems to solve your problem exactly. Almost like it was designed for this purpose. It is grass though. Thanks! The grass isn't an issue but th...

Yup. Been slow for months. Intermittently unusable for the past 3 weeks I'd say. Very sad.

It still seems silly if the candidate needs to provide the letter(s). If you think they are capable of faking a license, then faking a letter is even easier. It's different if governments communicate directly with the companies, then there's an additional check. It's certainly true that anything ca...

Lol. Doesn't it completely defeat the purpose if the candidate has to provide the letter? :D Just for info - a verification letter is a normal part of overseas hiring. I've been asked to provide one as part of the application. Overseas companies may not have the resources to do background checks. Y...

I contacted Bose USA earlier this year and they said as long as you can provide a US address (can be a friend), you can ship your headset with the prepaid label they provide and they’ll return it to that same US address. It worked great for me and it was worth the $225 USD refurb price (they just d...

FWIW

When was that? Were you still under warranty?

4 months outside of the 5 year warranty, my Bose A20 decided to crap out. I believe I need a new cord as the sound cuts in and out when I wiggle it. Really annoying. I contacted Bose USA and after a little haggling they were willing to do a full refurbishment for a flat $165 US. That is until they ...

Yes of course it is. So why make it harder for people who are already hiding it to get professional help, or for people on the edge to scare them away from getting professional help because an overzealous government might dig into their medical history at some point? It is not harder to get profess...

I think the reality is that it is already being hidden. Yes of course it is. So why make it harder for people who are already hiding it to get professional help, or for people on the edge to scare them away from getting professional help because an overzealous government might dig into their medica...

Having to flick through iPad apps to find a checklist during an emergency descent would cost significantly more time than the old-fashioned paper one. Doesn't matter if iPads or paper is being used imho. Crews need to be familiar with whatever is being used and know where information can be found. ...

The report focuses a lot on workload, which makes sense. I am wondering if Perimeter is still using emergency checklists on ipads or did they revert back to an easily accessible emergency checklist on the dashboard? Having to flick through iPad apps to find a checklist during an emergency descent wo...

Sunscreen uses a benzene derivative as one of it's main sun protection "active ingredients" Benzene is a known human carcinogen Ergo wearing sunscreen to ward off melanoma is silly at best. Just stop eating seed oils that make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. As mentioned above, there are suns...

Probably best that TC can see all the records. Too many intentional crashes due to mental cases. From memory: 737 in China a couple of years ago ATR in Botswana ATR in Morocco Silk Air 737 EgyptAir 767 The European A320 JAL DC-8 Air India 787 MAS 777 Fedex DC-10 where the crew had to fight off the ...

I think you're being pretty pessimistic with these timelines. Going further off the beaten path (outside of Ontario) will reduce your time in a ground position to closer to one year. Is Tindi still giving PPCs and a part time flying schedule to every new hire right off the bat? It's up to you to de...

Many thanks!

1. Final TA will get voted down 2. Legal strike position 3. Some government intervention in some new fashion that prohibits a strike 4. FA will strike anyway and not recognize the new government attempt of intervention 5. Lots of public discussion if the attempted intervention is legal 6. FA strike ...

rudder wrote: ↑Fri Jul 31, 2026 5:44 am The ‘issue’ here will be whether the fact that the crew landed below RSV fuel (and in fact below emergency fuel) was within their control.

With the information currently known, is there even a remotely likely scenario that would put this outside of their control?

Thank you for the detailed review!

How does Garmin pilot deal with ifr routes?

What tablet are you using to run it on?

Sure, the Captain is "legally responsible," but the FO shares the responsibility also. At the end of the day, if they run out of fuel and crash, the FO dies too. If you don't think you took enough fuel, then as FO you can also refuse to fly until you upload more fuel. Captain can't take off single ...

What about converting your TC CPL to FAA, attaining the FAA ATP (which would require an ATP-CTP course and a ride), after which you convert the FAA ATP back to a TC ATPL? That may be a potential workaround. Why would TC issue an ATPL if you don't meet the requirements? Because the requirements for ...

Another one with issues.... C-IINZ, a privately operated Zenair Zodiac 601 XL advanced ultralight, was conducting a flight at Collingwood Aerodrome (CNY3), ON. While in the circuit, the canopy reportedly opened in flight, and an engine malfunction occurred while the aircraft was downwind at circuit...
