Some airlines in China pay captains extra to sign the tech log in stations where there aren’t company engineers getting paid to do it. One of my previous companies used to pay an allowance for laundry. I know people in non aviation jobs in Toronto that get an allowance for using the 407 to get to wo...

Regal airport hotel is sometimes reasonably priced. No transport required. Just walk through the terminal. Nothing much else nearby unless you get in a taxi or take the airport express train. Novotel is nearby and connected to a small mall. It would be my first choice although maybe not the cheapest.

Depends what kind of stay you’re looking for. Silvermine resort in Mui Wo usually has much cheaper prices than the hotels closer to the airport. Cheap beer and a beach to hang out at. Ferry from there to the city about 30 mins.

i also wonder why training captains got pfo'd too after few days. The same has happened to my colleagues last year.... i have no bad records, no failures, got my upgrade within a year...i do not want to sound egotist but i have passed qatar (which i am going to accept now) and cathay interviews.......

Due to the pilot shortage which actually exists outside Canada, everyone is flat out all the time. In Singa...

Anybody that asks why people with lots if experience are applying to AC haven't worked/lived in the hole that is everything from Beijing to Istanbul. There's a reason people immigrate to canada and not the other way around! #expatforlife #getmeouttahere Absolutely right! I actually love Beijing but...

I also got the pfo email. A little frustrating as I currently have over 7000 hours and over 2000 hours A320 PIC. No degree I graduated high school with a CPL so I wasn't eligible to attend a College program for aviation. I was an instructor at Seneca College when I was 21. Some of my old students ar...

Total time 7000 + Airbus 5000+ Airbus PIC 2000 + Post Secondary Diploma but no University Degree. 30 years old. I applied early in March and nothing yet. The application window just closed so I'm assuming they will start sorting through the applications now. Seems there will be plenty of interview s...
