It was challenging conditions; snowy runway, gusts, crosswind. Poor landing technique led to an overload of the gear and wing spar. Occam’s Razor view, and I agree. I don’t agree that “mistakes happen”, randomly, to otherwise trained, experienced and qualified flight crew. Sure it wasn’t a blue sky...

GM and Ford have now said that if Trump goes ahead with a 25% increase in tariffs on steel that cars made in the USA and sold to Americans will go up on average by $3000. That’s just the start of things to come for Americans… So how is that helping the American people?

If you're 65+, please enjoy your retirement and hopefully you made good choices during your career that allow you to be financially independent and not rely on working into your golden years. Skills degrade rapidly, and in a new and unfamiliar environment like you would be experiencing, where you a...

Damn, they almost made it... What a shame, RIP guys.

I guess it's Merry Christmas from Transport Canada.

Pilot's medical fee from TC and what an odd charge.

Could not agree more... one of the worst airports in the world.

Shit happens!

No one here that has been flying for many years can say they never fucked up before.

Yes, that was one rough landing but without further info who knows what lead to it.

I’d cut the pilots some slack on this incident.

Guaranteed they find one. Retired Airline dude who makes 80-100k a year retirement salary from the airline plus 130gs from this outfit. An old fart who can’t stay away from flying yet taking a job opportunity from a younger individual. That old fart will show up on their first day, squeeze themselv...

LMAO... Calgary, what did you expect? It seems the salaries out in Alberta are sub what is paid in Toronto or Montreal, why? My best guess is on housing being a lot more affordable than yyz, more desirable than yul with a better tax rate than the both of them. Younger guys want to stay in that area...

How early before expiry can you renew? If I remember correctly you can submit your paperwork renewal for it up to 3 months in advance. The way I was told is that 3 months prior to its expiry is the latest you should wait before you submit your renewal documents due to possible delays in processing....

My Aviation Document Booklet was due for renewal by October 01st 2023. On Friday July 07th, I brought all that is required to my local regional office at CYUL to have it renewed for the next 10 years. To my surprise, I was told by the security guard on duty at the building's entrance that no one wor...

It looks like the right prop contacted the runway on the second bounce.

The 441 has a trailing link type main gear and can take a lot of punishment but hell that was a really bad landing.

But that would only allow a professional pilot to fly past 65 on commercial flights in the USA.

I just love the airlines... Keep it up folks because it is the best guaranty I will always have a job as a corporate pilot.

I'm above the "high" salary (in CAD $) for the type of aircraft I fly and would not move to the USA to get their USD salary.

As alluded by others, there is way more then the salary that counts in life.

Fvck Boeing! If the Global Express variant does the job (several countries have them including the USA), why not buy a Canadian product? The Global can takeoff and land in shorter fields, fly further, faster and higher than that the B737 variant and burn less jet fuel in the process which should be ...

Just got word...

My basic pay for 2023 will be increased $245,586.

This does not include a bonus, overtime and RRSP contribution.

Is that a typo? You grossed 210k in 4.5 months.

No, not a typo. It was a good year.

I'm assuming AG flying is very seasonal.

My numbers are in...

297 hours flown.

$262K includes some overtime and a bonus.

5 weeks vacation.

Since some include per diems, my total was just under $20K.

My point is, after reading through the memo, that it is going to be complicated to follow all directives/conditions in how to apply what and when to be able to schedule a crew to a flight.

Hopefully the 604 operations won't be affected by these new rules.

New duty day restrictions for a 704 operation... It will be somewhat complicated at first to understand and track all the info and hours to keep within the new rules.
