Free, but you don’t you still demand a credit card?

How are they retaining such talented drivers? They aren’t. They lowered experience requirements and it’s a revolving door. Think Jazz or Encore but you get to drop stuff from airplanes. I figured a coupled ILS spoon-fed by ATC is a little different than what these folks are doing. I can’t believe t...

Air Canada watching you guys not eat your young for a contract:
“are you guys going to eat those junior pilots, because we sure would like to”

2000 hours in multi turbine helicopters is pretty impressive. Nothing in the rotary world appeals to you?

You guys know there is an ignore list, right?

If we can’t trust the fine folks at the Western Standard, who can we trust?

No. P means well. I’ll just say he doesn’t deserve ridicule and leave it at that, you guys are smart enough.

The most common response I get in social situations when asked about what I do is “I could have been a pilot but…”. don’t be that person. Finish what you started, you’ll never regret that much. If something better calls to you, no problem, but don’t give a reason to look back and wonder “what if”. Y...

They weren’t given access to their bags for two days, I understand being a bit miffed about that.

Here is very clear video from an aircraft holding short…

Finally, we’ll be able to ____ again. What did you lose to it exactly? I’m genuinely curious as it never impacted me, so I never felt threatened the way some do

This guy is going through some stuff.

Hopefully, whatever you’re going through in your life that causes you to make these posts, improves. Until then, may your catch be plentiful and your mind fulfilled.

Customer service has been phenomenal with FSI, only passable with CAE. We’re also finding quality instructors seem to stick around more at FSI whereas CAE has let some great people leave by not looking after them properly.

When my lumpsump broke, momma woke up floating around the basement on her air mattress and her favourite slippers were destroyed.

Lump sum. Communicate like you deserve a raise

Where would you like to be based? Great response from throwawaycorporate, solid insight. My warning is beware the management companies.

Reading that gives me some happy emotions and some sad ones. What a guy.

Air Canada to public:

“We want our pilots to live like JAL CEOs”

I was suspecting that. Jetstream turbulence is not really encountered much around there(try Japan). Wonder if they were not paying attention to the radar. Same question about an AC turbulence encounter near Hawaii a couple of years ago. You are dealing with a phenomena called "Dry Tops" where the m...

It's certainly been a rough week for runway incursions and as much as the topic of pilot situational awareness always bears repeating, these latest incidents reinforce that ATC is just as capable of losing the big picture. They are working in an imperfect system and are just as prone to human error ...

So schedule is 2 days call out at the least. Usually much more? Correct. But if something big happened they’d want that aircraft’s engines lit asap. Right on. Interesting! Does that mean you can't have a beer like ever? or take an afternoon trip like a 4 hour drive away or something? Just in case t...

Likewise, I’m doing 200-250 hours per year for the owner. Shortest callout has been 2 days, but very rare. I typically know my trips months ahead of time. I take vacation around the aircraft or fly the ‘missus’ out if I am somewhere fun. If I have something special going on they’ll get a decent con...
