For Sale: David Clark X11 Headset & PTT switch
Hey, all. Some changes in my situation mean that I have to put my flight training on hold, so I'm looking to sell my headset, a David Clark X11. I bought it new and it's only been used for 7 flying hours, so it's in like-new condition. It comes with the case, quick reference guide and all the cell p...

Re: Flight Ops - Toronto - career development opportunity
Hopefully the OP will clarify what the arrangement here actually is, but I think it's worth pointing out that most internships in Ontario are governed by the Emoyment Standards Act, including the minimum wage requirements. More information is available on the Ministry of Labour's web site: http://ww...

Re: Faro headsets - anyone tried them?
Thanks, all.
As it turns out, I've bought a David Clark X-11. It was a bit of a fluke: I put a minimum bid in for an eBay auction not expecting to win, lucked out and got it. Looks good so far - I'll be trying it out in the plane tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

Re: RCAF Coming back??!!!!!!! :)
Is this supposed to be a structural change to the Forces? All the stories I've read on this make it sound like it's just a name change.Prairie Chicken wrote:I like it. Hopefully it happens tomorrow. Merging the branches was one of the bigger blunders of those years.

Re: How is this legal?
I suppose there's probably some act sitting around saying that they can do this, but don't you just love double standards applied to keep minority voters happy? "Some act sitting around" is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: 15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and h...

Re: Faro headsets - anyone tried them?
Performance wise, they did better than the Bose X I had at one point. Yes the battery is in one of the earcup. So if you do run out of battery power in flight, you lose the ANR. But you still have good passive noise reduction. (25db) So you realize that you lost the ANR because you hear more lower ...

Re: Faro headsets - anyone tried them?
http://www.pilot-usa.com/pa1779t.htm I've had those for more than 10 years. Other than changing ear seals and the cord once, no problems and the battery still lasts for about 40hrs of air time. And you were happy with their performance? I looked at the web page. That headset looks interesting, but ...

Re: Faro headsets - anyone tried them?
From the Faro website pictures, it seems that Faro headsets are identical to ASA and Avcomm headsets; all are made in china. Their prices are proportional to their quality. If you like the "classic" look, you should be looking for a David Clark headset (ASA, Avcomm and Faro are all cheap and inferi...

Re: Faro headsets - anyone tried them?
First off rallyjeff, there are numerious posts on headsets, just search them. I did. My search here for "Faro" only gave me results for the city in Portugal. I will say this, are you planning on being a CPL and flying for a living? If you yes, buy the BEST head set you can afford . You will be spen...

Faro headsets - anyone tried them?
I'm a brand new flight student trying to decide which headset to get. I've been looking around online and I noticed that for a given set of features, Faro tends to be quite a bit cheaper than other brands. The ads for them say "compare to David Clark...", but since I'd have to mail-order them in (I ...

Re: ALPA's Position on Training Bonds
Its actually very common in the construction industry, though you don't hear about it since the training costs are relatively small compared to the wages earned. In this case protective gear often became the property of the workers as well - since in some of the more hazardous tasks it would be cus...

Re: ALPA's Position on Training Bonds
Training bonds are used all the time in the professional world all around the globe. Sometimes when employees take further training to advance within the company, the company may sponsor them to upgrade a diploma or get a Masters degree, but wish to retain the experience they are sending their empl...
