Re: Transat to use Foreign Pilots
mbav8tr : MB is that not a training facility? Are you a student pilot? You can not compare pilots to mine workers it does cost 40,000 to train a mine worker and they dont have to come with license qualifications and experiences. If I owned the airline I would not like to pay for the training and hav...

Re: Transat to use Foreign Pilots
Just a thought. Maybe Hardicourt should turn his energy into making transat a profitable company again. That way they wont flood the market with experienced jet drivers which will jump ahead of all the turbo prop guys trying to get up the ladder. Not sure who all the resume's will go to? Sunwing may...

Re: Transat to use Foreign Pilots
Leave it to Hardupacourt to selectively copy only a portion of a quote make it out of context. Fact! Summer 2013 Every single Sunwing pilot will be flying in Europe some for more than one tour of duty. All Canadian winter contract pilots were offered full time employment with Sunwing and are now on ...

Nuclear Engines
I read an article not long ago in popular mechanics about nuclear aircraft. The way it works is that the heat from a small reactor(s) is discharged through the hot section of a turbine engine. Could work well but obviously a scary prospect in the event of a crash. Does anyone know anymore about this...

FLY JETSGO AGAIN. I think its possible the public will fly it again. There is little to no brand loyalty in aviation. Its all about the price. People gamble everyday pushing red lights, buying lottery tickets, people will gamble on jetsgo again. Maybe not the ones who lost there tickets and holidays...
