Re: The end of Flair?

Website seems to work fine now. No "worldticket" redirect.

I think Flair used Worldticket before they expanded and had the 777 investment.

Re: Flight test report after PPC

I asked for one when I applied for my ATP as proof of the multi engine flight test. Otherwise, transport or the company will surely provide one to you.

Re: Stateside on route freq

I suggest asking any conflicting traffic to please advise on the approach control frequency.

But for real there is no widely used "en route" frequency. Get flight following or look out the window.

Is it really that hard to provide a plastic card like the Americans (or even AMEs)?

Re: Ferry Flight Legality

If money or other consideration changes hands, you need at least a Commercial Pilots License. If your good friend says hey, I bought a plane in Vancouver, would you like to fly it back for me, I'm very busy with work, and he doesn't pay you for your time, then you would only need a Private Pilots Li...

Re: Flying into USA

When you make first contact with ground (or if they have clearance delivery, call them), tell them VFR flight following to Cxxx and an altitude. If it's a non-primary airport without a tracon, they will call flight data, make you a strip, and get you a code. the assumed departure time works well, bu...

Re: Article on Porter's expansion and pilot supply in general

Y'all forget how recently Porter cut your pay (after COVID). Don't think it couldn't happen again.

You would be smart to organize now while times are good and solidify a strong collective agreement.

Re: Has anyone here worked (pilot) in the Carribean?

Im curious why a foreign airline (PAL), operating under a Canadian AOC, with C-registered planes, would need an EASA license to operate there?

Re: Google flight emission estimates

There are more seats on a WestJet 787-9, so fewer emissions per mile.

I agree it's silly though, and I seriously doubt anyone chooses their flight based on carbon emissions.

Re: New pay scales

This is probably trying to keep a union out (they hired a lot of guys to the jet from outside Porter that would be used to a union, and they pissed off basically all the dash 8 people with pay cuts and equipment "freeze").

I hope their employees see through this and organize regardless.

Re: Flying to US with Nexus card only

Yes you can and no you don't need a passport to have a Nexus card. You can get one with a birth certificate or citizenship certificate.

Some gate agents may be unfamiliar (doubtful at YYZ), ask for a supervisor if necessary.

Re: Crossing the the border as an intl student!!!

When you fill out EAPIS, you can add your Visa number. If it won't let you, just let the officer on the phone know when you call for landing rights. It's not a big deal, I've done with ESTA eligible people, who since they're going by private aircraft, actually need a visa. Painless.
