Well... Holds are easy... just go line by line verbally on the FMC page and verify it's on the legs page/mfd.... and put in the EFC time.

Halifax needs to get their sh*t together. I can’t speak to this incident, however, it is not a coincidence that they have issues every year. Probably about 4 or 5 years ago, I was getting ready to depart and they were advertising 23 the active with a 4-5 knot tailwind component, and 1/4 inch slush. ...

777x has about 50 tonnes on the 350-1000 MTOW. The -8 has an even heavier MTOW.

That has pay implications.

One starts with the letter V. The other an I.

Wind was not a factor. The engines lost power, for one reason or another. The crew wouldn’t have noticed a wind shift. Especially over a massive loss of thrust.

Doing that would eventually put AC in the same spot as all the regionals. Shortage of upgradable FOs. There's a reason AC hires ATPL licensed "future captains". They don't want a roster that's 70% FOs that can't upgrade. There must be reasons why regionals won’t hire 703/704 atpl captains. Working ...

Looks like they were still able to feather the engine.

I’m curious, are you building time at all, maybe he thinks he’s helping you with that, if it were me I’d be telling my buddy he pays for the costs or I’m busy that day Nope, not time building towards anything. I've got all the hours I'd ever need. And yeah, I told him that a one way car rental is w...

When you're Step 12, then you can shit on those loser Step 1 pilots.

Rinse. Repeat.

You are an idiot.

I understand compound interest. I also understand that there are scenarios that can exist where pay increases out grow what compounding can achieve. Below is an example of a scenario I threw into ChatGPT. I am not saying this is the case or desirable for our contract. I only choose ballpark numbers ...

2% is wrong. My bad 2024 rates First Officer Year 1: AC: $87.48 WJ: $84.26 Percentage - 2.75% First Officer Year 3: AC: $118.47 WJ: $116.66 Percentage: 1.54% So in some cases LESS THAN 2% :shock: I see some talking about 787 rates and saying WJ is lower but they don't have Relief Pilots. So when yo...

Maybe it should be maybe not. However, the Canadian ATPL requirements are for co-pilot time or pic time. An RP is not defined at AC as a First Officer or co-pilot. How TC interprets that could be up to the individual you get at TC. You can still log the time as an RP, the question is can you credit...

I still don’t get doing the journey log in the climb. If it is a long leg, do it in cruise, if it is short do it at the gate at the end of the flight. As to the story; yeah, what is the purpose of VS in that situation anyway. IAS is paramount. Do it in FLCH(Vnav speed window open) or Open Climb or ...

I’m sure there is an exception somewhere in the past, but to be hired by AC you require an ATPL. So nobody is applying for a licence with RP hours, they already have it. Once you have all your licences the only requirement is to keep a personal log. So you can put it in whatever column you like. Fa...

It wasn’t AC, it was another flaky HR department lol. It was definitely very flaky because I’ve sent alot of emails to them during the recruiting process that never got answered. To answer the other guys question, it was the vibe and connection that I experienced with the pilot conducting the inter...

I decided to go overseas to probably the same international airline. On one hand, it was a great decision because hiring has come to a stop at this airline (at least for SO's) and I lucklily squeezed my way in in before that happened. Beats being stuck at a regional while the industry slows down; r...

I was flying with the FAs and they are still wearing their green lanyards. What a great crew! Whatever happened to all those World Class Contract lanyards?!

You obviously aren't in the career position that you want to be in yet as you're interviewing for other jobs. That means that you're still in the resume/experience building phase of your career trying to look better and gain the experience to get that job. With very little time at only 2500 hour an...
