I remember seeing Wasaya advertising a job labelled as "Pilot Apprentice" the other week...Duties included hangar work, loading aircraft and office work etc. I lol'd pretty hard

Now add to the list making sure the door is properly secured...

What does it matter what we think a good company is for a newbe. What I think would be a good place for a newbe may be different for someone else. You took a job on the ramp so you must have thought it was a good place for a newbe if you accepted it. Sounds like you are a ship jumper in the making t...

500

rrrriiiight.

Well if you take that 500 and invrst it wisely, you might be able to make a career out of it.

BPF: To some extend I agree with you. But the second someone posts something that may hurt a feeling, it gets deleted, threD blocked ect ect. Exemple beeing the RCAF CF-18 thread. There was a good discussion going on there and BAM blocked.... This is getting boring. There is no place for personal at...

President's choice..... Yes, Political correctness

This forum has become incredibly PC and is quite boring now.

No wonder we lost a lot of good posters and we-re lacking good topics...

Off to Tim's I go..

That's why those 1900 have so much power right?

If a 777 can fly below radar, I'm sure a handful of f-18's can!!

Bezerker: Thank you for your constructive comment. I guess you are a true seasoned northern flyer!! I suppose the get er done me tality is still aive and well in the north. if you have to fly to a destination where u have no equipment to de-ice with. If there is forcasted icing you don't HAVE to go....

I guess some pilots here think it's okay to break the law and fly with impact ice instead of de-icing, anti-icing and cancelling if you can't make your holdover time. Do you guys let your PAYING pax know that you are about to break the law before you depart so they can decide if they want to deplane...

I would be curious to know what de-ice strategies are in place for de-icing/anti-icing in remote destinations. Equipment, personel, ect.

Not specifically aimed at Calm air but everyone who flybin these parts.

Pretty hard to do that when they are the only show in the north doing scheduled flights

Gotta get 'er done right??

At least we now know how much you value your life....

So you have been a pilot for 30 years and flew on Calm Air all winter when you knew they would fly with contaminated wings 50% of the time? I would like to see the good decision you take when you are flying as a pilot. Here's a hint: GET OFF THE AIRPLANE AND STOP FLYING WITH THEM!!!! Some ppl's kids...

Having someone very close to me that works in the north and has to fly on the northern airlines sometimes, I wish the northern standards would get tighter and things like that and Resolute wouldn't happen anymore. I have heard some horror stories also from another northern airline that flies the dir...

I heard that Jazz recently hired some guys with less than 300 hrs.

Is First Air becoming the Keystone of the north?

I was looking at the winds website and saw nothing about Variable tailwinds?

Have I been lied to all my life?

Once those steady tailwinds start to vary, turn off your transponder and inflate your swimaids!!

yes

I would like to know how much fuel they had left in the tank and if they still could hold their alternate when they landed in YFB.

Maybe the FO told the Capt. they were off course and the Capt told him to pound sand.

So you never had to pay any money to work at VAL? Even if the money doesn't go to voyageur's pocket and in escrow?

You never took out a loan that VAL would pay for inuding interests?

Just don't forget your checkbook you slut!!!!
