Hi guys, Going through the handbook (which is great to see publicly), i was looking towards the benefit side of things. If I understand correct, on year 6, AS takes care of 100% of the cost of benefits for pilots, is that correct? Up to that point, guys pay a percentage? Does that percentage decrea...

When I did that exact interview for flight follower with Mr. Armstrong in around 2009, the direct answer from his mouth was no we don’t. Go and get some operational experience first and we’ll meet with you again for a pilot position. Maybe things have changed quite a bit in 10 years...

Too high or too low?

The difference between the US market and Canada is insane! Regionals giving $30k signing bonuses, and $80k salary for flying a metroliner! People here seem to have pride in being abused and pretty much demand everyone spend 2 years on the ramp insisting it's a necessary step (which only exists here...

You think you've had a bad day with an open mic, try being a police chopper with a megaphone on https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba ... -1.3123905

Can't just make a mistake anymore, learn and move on. Nope, need some internet hero to make it viral. Bingo. If you are not perfectly politically correct and never make any minor mistake EVER, you are dangerous scum here in canadastan. That pretty much makes 90% of the population inadmissable to so...

This particular fella was mid-story about some ATC guy he knew was having difficulty with the training and “had no Fn idea how he didnt wash out the program”

Knowing the frequency and general time is it possible to find it on ATC live or something like that?

Anyone else on here catch the beauty of an F-Bomb on Toronto Centre 119.37 yesterday (June 12) about 2110z made my entire day!

If captaincooll was paying for the tickets with a stolen credit card then doesn’t that mean AC isn’t out any money at all? And in fact simply sold the seats at full price?? Perhaps I am missing something?..

Can someone be kind enough to post the CBA? Much appreciated!

Has anyone interviewed on the 705 side of the house recently? I'd appreciate any info on what to expect. Thanks in advance!

First question, do you have a license? Check. Second do you have pulse? Check. Your hired!

As far as traditional corporate flight departments go there are none in YYZ that I know of that offer rotational work. Fractional or charter outfits may be different. AirSprint has been advertising a lot this last year and they seem to offer two weeks on two weeks off or something like that. At air...

Is Cathay only hiring SO or are they also hiring FOs as well?

I might suggest with your experience it may be more efficient and economical to buy porter/encore/jazz flight up to yqt. Pepper all the operators on the field and then possibly grab a Wasaya/bearskin flight up to yxl and hit up all the operators there. Could be all done in a day and head back home l...

Excel Spreadsheet. You can always add details, columns, have it tally any combination of permutations, easy to backup, almost a universal format. That's what I use. Did the Google and found one that automatically keeps track of currency on types, etc... Save it to the cloud and it's accessible wher...

Just about to finish my first logbook and definitely want to switch to a digital format. Who can point me in the direction of a good digital logbook? I prefer a non subscription logbook but all recommendations are welcome!

Also grindr is a social network not a sex app otherwise it would violate apple / google terms when you donwload.

Right 🤨 with a name like grindr definitely not a sex app

First thing, lets ignore for a moment what our opinion as pilots is regarding grooming aircraft in between turns. Let’s look at it from the perspective of John Q flying public and ask the average person on the street if they think their pilots clean the aircraft. Most ppl are surprised to learn that...

I see a new job ad up for Captains and F/O's with the Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal bases. Nothing currently mentions the secondary base structure that was supposed to be coming into place...? Is this something that is still in the works or was it an idea that was axed? I would be very interested in...

Most divorces have criminal allegations made for posturing purposes.

Since the English proficiency test is gone, shouldn't TC and NavCanada be putting more pressure on the CFIs or schools to ensure students are capable? The language proficiency test isn't gone. The mechanism for getting one is changed as of June 1, but the requirement is still there. However, it's o...

The English proficiency test is gone?

There are thousands of career choices where you wont be a potential hazard to hundreds of people. Fly for fun, by yourself. Again, terribly sorry about your situation.

Perhaps... but when they do demonstrate their skill it has to be a 4 or at least damn near it everytime.

I believe the question is to the extent of: "Have you been convicted of a crime for which a pardon has not been granted?" It's essentially as if it didn't happen once the pardon goes through. They can't ask, and you don't have to answer. Also, stay out of the USA until the pardon is granted. The Am...
