Re: IFR in the mountains

VFR mountain procedures are hardcore...especially if you are doing off-strip work. IFR mountain flying is no different than IFR 'prairie' flying. As llong as you stick to the numbers and the published information you have no worries. Transprot Canada is ultra conservative. That being said, if you do...

Re: Did you get into this industry with or w/o the wife/gf?

WITH!!! I don't care about spelling in this post. I was a second year student (sophmore). I told my girlfriend that I didn't want to pursue a career in my academic field and I wanted to be a pilot. I straight up asked her; "Are you ready to be a pilots wife, do you know what this involves, are you r...

Re: CANJET DOING GREAT!

Tibor, Are you really holding Canjet pilots responsible for the current salary scale? That seems a little inappropriate to me...after all isn't management one half of this dance? Of course Canjet pilots held out for as much as they could, as long as they could...do you think otherwise? Ya we may hav...

Re: Canjet losing Transat flying?

Man, we are in the midst of the biggest recession since the depression and people have the gall to slag Canjetters? Hiring all but stopped at WJ and AC over the last two years. So a pilot takes a job at Canjet and all of a sudden they are 'lowering the bar' for all pilots world wide? F*** That and F...

Canjet only operates the B73C........for now. So any new hires have no choice but to be typed on th NG.

Canjet is the best company I've ever worked for.........I'd be happy to retire with them. This is a place where u r known by name, not a number.........and they treat u very well.

WANTED: YVR crash pad for commuting pilot 10-15 days/month

I'm looking for an inexpensive YVR crash pad for a commuting pilot. Maybe 5-10 days a month. Not too picky on the details or setup, just the price (after all I am just another poor pilot :) ) I think something with other pilots would be ideal, as none of us would be there all the time. But I am open...

Which Party/Candidate has most aviation friendly platform?

Anyone?

I just saw a brief blurb on CBC that the Tories want to allow 49% foreign ownership of airlines to increase cashflow to airlines...don't really know much else about the others. Is increased foreign ownership even a good thing?

I welcome all ideas and opinions.
