I’m sure the pilots already told their MEC what’s important to achieve in this negotiation.
What do you mean “the” ? Is that on the table ?

Re: Kelowna Flight Craft

Just for your resume, Flightcraft is one word. It's a charter company that's just starting out. Word is they are busy, but untill they nail down a contract or two I'd be weary of moving there myself. As for the Convair question, the pay scale is listed in the CBA. Not sure if it works for you, but ...

Re: Could you look over my plan for studying in Harv's Air?

You shouldn’t have trouble to be hired as an instructor once your training is completed. With 100k and if your wife work money won’t be a problem.

When are you coming here ? (I live in Winnipeg).

For some it won’t. A friend just applied to Jazz and it’s written to not put centerline thrust as multi time.

Re: Mixed Up Stick and Throttle

We actually don't have the propeller control on the left side. And the panel of the Grobs used in Portage have modern avionics now with redesigned glareshield to get rid of the blind spot.

Re: Air force training syllabus

How much solo time is involved in PFT? How many hours dual instruction is the target before a first solo flight? When they go solo (2 circuits, 0.3 air time) they ideally flew 12.4 hours (air time) and received 5.9 hours of training in the simulator (which is mostly use for emergency handling). The...

You missed that they apparently use a "Piper Stinson" for float training. Or maybe its a 172? Why do schools always have the page that shows important things about their fleet, like MTOW, Cruising speed (helpfully here in both Knots and Kmph) and what brand of engine it has, yet make you search els...

Re: Heads up - I know this has been a classic, however, a refresher nonetheless

I’m studying at the PFC. For the BCIT getting priority over « standard » students, it’s something I’ve never experienced myself. For exemple when my instructor felt I was ready for the preflight test, I passed it 5 days after. The day in question, we were running out of time after the ground portion...
