Not many 777/787 RP spots going to new hires going forward, read none. Too many mat leave returns coming back to work part time in the back seat. You can expect to join as a NB FO with a 30 month freeze before you will be allowed to bid down in position. A down bid to RP after that will penalize yo...

I’m looking at making the switch to big red in the near future, hoping to get a RP gig. Whats the lifestyle difference between 777 and 787? I’ll have a decent military pension so a couple bucks in year 3 doesn’t make a difference to me but if I can bid a schedule sooner or one has less working days ...

Do they ever hire direct 777?

ForeFlight. Takes a bit to get used to but once you figure out the features it’s pretty slick.

Thanks for the insight!

Every time a plane crashes near a terrorist group they try to claim responsibility. I don't buy it without more evidence.

Push the head, pull the tail

Provides an attitude indicator.

Most C130H fact sheets that I've seen list max takeoff and max landing as both 155K, which is for normal ops, but you can takeoff up to 175, so I would take a fact sheet as gospel. That said I'm not going to dump 20 k of fuel for no apparent reason.

It drifts oceanic. So when you get to the other side you hope that the radar picture resembles what you expect.

The buff can't be pressurized, Viking hasn't built one so they aren't eligible to bid.

Trenton used to have Buff's but they ran out of airframes.

I pick up pop up IFR clearances almost daily, I've never had a problem.

It used to close for the winter, haven't been there in a couple years so I'm not sure if that's the case. Why don't you call the airfield operator and ask?

I was around Dryden today, most lakes were clear but a couple of the large lakes still had ice.

Sympathetic puker?

Upgrade at AC/Jazz is strictly govern on your senority, command time has nothing to do with it. I promise you, by the time you get the senority to hold command you will have the required experience for the job. Only if you have an ATPL. The posts above are talking about going from no PIC to a 705 j...

regulations aside, it can be done now but it's difficult to sell the pax on the idea that the pilot has no skin in the game.

Just took me 3 months to get mine.

To update, YWG is 3 months for an ATPL processing; to the day. They counted all of my dual time.

I think the most important point here is that if you are still in the clouds when you get to minimums, go around. Every time, every approach type. If you are flying a constant decent profile, sure, but if you are doing a dive and drive you can still break out horizontally. :rolleyes: Dive and drive...

Transport Canada has an interesting article on this. https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/civilaviation/publications/tp185-4-09-winter-757.htm Conclusion: Takeoff into known freezing drizzle and/or light freezing rain is outside of the flight envelope for which any airplane currently operating today is certific...

I think the most important point here is that if you are still in the clouds when you get to minimums, go around. Every time, every approach type. Strongly disagree.
