IFR Simulator is an amazing Android App. Its by maihoffapps, version 0.2.4 There is a free version that comes with ads, and I think the paid version was $6. Worth every penny. If you spent the time to master this app you could save yourself a lot of money in training. There's some quirks with it, li...

For sure they were more fortunate than that Air Tindi crew a few months ago.

And the Sowind Bandit crew/ pax over 20 years ago at the same airport.

I just do that $7 a day thing from Telus but I'm not south of the order enough to justify a monthly plan. Catch is flying over the US if your phone picks up a tower you get the bill just for the electronic handshake...aeroplane mode yeah.

So Vanguard Air Care is running around telling everyone they have the RFP Ambulance contract (however it has not been announced). They are making a concerted effort to poach AMS medic staff from other carriers using this statement even though it is not true - real greasy! They even have their rampi...

That seems like a really dumb design to me.

What was the deal with the fish nets on the wing tips?

Wait till you want to apply for a job there, and they ask how much electric time on floats you have. Oh we need 500 hours for our insurance...

Station 60?

Do you guys think the max will stay on the NG type rating when the dust settles, or will it require its own simulator and type designation?

R1 should sell billboard space on that Beech 300 that lives permanently on the corner of Palmer Rd and McCall way. It hasn't moved in years.

You'd probably qualify for a DEC on the Dash with BE20 pic time. Be advised, the 200 where you are pays better.

Must say I have to agree with the above post. Money and greed are nothing new; you would need to be off the clock psychotic to knowingly, and I say knowingly, put out a faulty product that is guaranteed to attract worldwide media coverage in case things went wrong. Same goes for a regulator that wo...

Why does WJ mainline even hire OTS? I mean, I know a handful of Encore Captains who have been there several years and still havent had the opportunity to flow up. Why not make the hires 100% from encore? It must be a little frustrating seeing waiting for the call when half the 737 classes are outsi...

How do you even apply for a job at Sunwing? On their web site they aren't hiring pilots. Snail mail I guess?

The more I read about this MCAS system the more I wonder why it isn’t handled as a stab trim runaway by disabling it with the stab trim cut off switches. Or does this come down to crew training in other parts of the world on this jet that isn’t adequate compared to the US and Canada? I wonder that ...

Is there a case where MCAS has caused an undesirable trim that the crew recovered from successfully that anyone is aware of?

And this is why an economic model based on exponential growth only favours the rich in the end.

While I think 200 hour pilots do pose a potential risk to aviation safety, I don't think it's reasonable to let speculation on this incident drift in that direction. There are statements out there stating the pilots declared a control issue and the plane went down in conditions a 5 hour ppl student...

So hypothetically then, should I try and parlay my light twin time into a decent seat at Georgian as fast as I can then hope to be the last one through the PML to AC as they shut off the lights and lock the doors? Inquiring minds want to know... According to another thread I'm way too lazy to refer...

I find this stupid. 11 people now in total have died in the 206 because they couldn't get out of the airframe while inverted and submerged. We have to look like we're doing something...ok everyone has to wear life jackets now. WTF? Now we'll have dead people wearing life jackets in inverted submerge...

Pretty sure it's 80K for the BE3B captain. Fine for YLW, but no so much for YVR, which is why we haven't seen a YLW captain job come up in the past year but the YVR one seems to go unfilled. I haven't talked to anyone in the FW medevac world there for a few years but it used to be a 4 on 4 off job, ...

Not trying to start anything, but today someone told me that there's only currently a 10% flow from Encore to WS. Is that real? 90% OTS hiring?

Can you still sneak in through the door everyone goes through to smoke? That's what I did 20 years ago. I just stood there smoking and when someone walked out I put mine out and walked in through the door like I worked there. I guess it's airside though so you could get arrested.

If Cx wants Canadians, it's probably because they know we're suckers who will work for no money, will always accept worse wawcon, and won't complain.
