Sometimes you're just not as good as the other person, but I suppose it's easier to put on your tin foil hat and tell yourself that bad people are giving you a raw deal. I'm not going to say sexism doesn't exist in aviation, but I'm willing to bet it's largely isolated to the low-level bottom-feede...

I have, on more than 3 occasions, had to listen to the owners of the company I was working for ramble on about how they’ll never hire female pilots because all they do is get pregnant and/or run off with their captains. They then usually proceeded to shoot me a glaring look, as if to say “you’re luc...

EDITED Jesus, even I'm a bit cynical at times but.....seriously man? Sounds like a great way to introduce young women to aviation. Most of the other female pilots that I know have parents involved in aviation, maybe programs like this would help bring in those who would never have been exposed to i...

Anyone else having problems emailing their resume to Air Tindi? Mine keeps being returned

As someone who just finished their CPL in the last few years, I’d like to throw my two cents in ☺ I agree with a lot of what’s been said. For the most part, I think my practical CPL training was good. I think I turned out as a competent pilot. I don’t think I’m a super 200 hour wonder, nor do I thin...

Sometimes coming on avcanada forums turns into the most depressing part of my day. It's either you guys nattering on about us low time pilots being dumb as bricks for accepting a job where the pay is less than desirable, or you guys nattering on about the high and mighty low time pilots who won't ac...

Blackburn originally came under fire (I believe just a little over a month ago) for ignoring ATC instructions on final in St.Lucia, and as a result caused the aircraft in front of him to take emergency measures. Although I understand he's well known in the Caribbean aviation community, it's not to s...

From the business point of view, I understand that my $10,000 actually no longer existed and that they fronted me that money to keep me there. From the student point of view, I'm still extremely pissed. Regardless, I lost $1,200 and not $10,000. Actually after my ATPLs and sign off it's more like $9...

I just finished the ICPC program at MFC last week, so I can offer some insight as a student who was there before and after they went into receivership. I went there after having done my PPL in Ontario at a small flying club, and it came highly recommended to me by a few people. As far as flight trai...

I just wrote it a few months ago. I wouldn’t quite call it a breeze, but then again written exams are admittedly not my strong point. I’d recommend the aerocourse book, it’s extremely helpful and a number of the questions in the book were almost identical to the ones on my exam. Read the COM section...

I like the older planes with all their quirks and character :) I flew the older Cessnas when I did my PPL in Ontario and stuck with them when I came to Moncton, despite mostly everyone else opting for the newer Cessnas or the Diamonds. One radio, a little draft coming through the crack in the door, ...
