If you're sub 40 years old this is a fantastic opportunity. Do it, do it now.

Unless this is a bait and switch tactic to get you into an Encore or Swoosh spot.

Schedule is 5 on 2 off (sort of) or they may want you to do 10 and 4. Sort of because your weekend doesn't start till 4 am saturday morning. Pay is bad. Have a look at the Contrails requirements on here if you don't meet them it's worse than bad. There is no flow to the 705 world except for FOs, the...

If you take away the weekly Pasco, and CMA ads there's actually not much there.

There's a couple miserable people here, but that has nothing to do with flying, they'd be miserable anywhere, and I'm sure they're miserable at home. I think us commuters have a higher level of miserableness than non commuters, but again that's a choice that that technically has nothing to do with t...

funny they went with the max as Indigo purchased over 400 Neo's a few years back. I imagine right about now they might be changing their minds... MAX not back until summer now. If they still are backed by Indigo it may be an excellent time to make the move away from Boeing. According to Wiki, Indig...

... Gee, thanks alot. We diverted to Timmins and eventually went back home without the patient. We later learned that MEDCOM was well aware of the prior incident (it was their first attempt to retrieve the patient) but chose not to pass that info along when they dispatched us. Jesus...Imagine havin...

When the height of the snowbank exceeds the height of your wings, it might be time to start refusing to land there until better snow removal infrastructure is put in place.

I flew medevacs in MB but too long ago for my experience to be relevant, but I do have recent AB and BC health experience, and what I heard from medics that worked out east scares me. Specifically that your company doesn't get paid unless you get in. If you turn down a flight due to wx, the dispatch...

It's shocking to me that any crew (of a 705 operation no less) would depart with a headcount that didn't match the manifest.

Me too, they'd never do that where I work. We've actually rechecked every single boarding pass and ID for this exact reason. Oh well we're close enough lets go?

Sounds like at least one thing in common with the Jazz Q write off wrt a bounced landing recovery although this report doesn't actually say that. I'm assuming the aircraft’s weight on wheels sensor indicated that the aircraft had briefly returned to air mode. that "air mode" means no weight on wheel...

But, flying helicopters is cool.

They had to fly on the peanut gyro because of a low battery voltage? That doesn't sound right to me. No, they flew VMC. Luckily, but the ramifications of ending up in IMC are there. I have experience on both the 4 dual fed bus system as well as the 1 triple fed bus system and losing both gens due t...

Wow and I thought we were slummin it with the KLN 89's in the 1900 at my last job.

You guys are so quick to make attack personal here. aux gave opinion. He doesn't know what the 738 FCOM or FCTM say. Attack what he says but going after the guy personally, is rude, albeit pretty typical Avcan behaviour. FYI this is what Boeing says: "WARNING: After the reverse thrust levers are mov...

I was told of a scary scenario with a Beech 200 and a new G1000 installation. There's a prop RPM red arc and it's something weird like 1750-1800 RPM, if you accidentally set the props there it sets up a harmonic that causes the screens all to shut down. Not sure the 300 has such a limitation, are th...

Did he have any good bannock recipes?

Judgement call. It was a stressful day, and I believe what I saw was a panic attack, but I left it up to him to deal with. If it was a CVA, or an MI, or a loss of consciousness, I'd have had not choice but to report it. He's gone on to have a very successful career so I can only assume he's figured ...

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate... in that order, always.

It certainly sounds like this crew mixed the order of that rule up a bit.

I had this happen to me, and I just covered for the guy, flew single pilot and didn't tell anybody. Maybe not the smartest thing to do but it's what I would want someone to do for me. He was just violently sick and needed both hands for the barf bag though, if he'd gorked out on me, or had a heart a...

Keeping one hand on the thrust levers and one on the control column below 10 000' seems to be expected of the PF unless actively using that hand to manipulate the MCP here. I do remember having a throttle roll back on me on the 1900, and the prop sync masked it quite well. The first indication I had...

This post intentionally left blank.

Seems like this wasn't an isolated incident. Happened the very next day as well.... December 17 A Swoop Inc. Boeing 737-8CT (C-FYBK/WSW107) on a flight from Hamilton, ON (CYHM) to Abbotsford, BC (CYXX) checked in on the HOPE 3 Arrival and was cleared for the area navigation (RNAV) 25 approach. The ...

CAP GEN stuff is very popular in IFR interviews and also on your initial IFR. Get comfortable with alternate wx, take off alternate, aircraft category, approach ban, what governs takeoff?, approach? and landing? People used to love asking about what to do if an IFR departure is "not assessed", not s...

Looks like inadvertent TOGA activation and the FO thinking they were about to stall. He then pushed to a 40 degree nose down attitude. ...

Iv'e stalled one or two aircraft, never heard of one where 40 degrees nose down was required. What's the normal stall recovery pitch in the 767?
