- These procedures increase efficiency for sure, but they come at the cost of a much greater number of near-misses per movenemt compared to Canada and elsewhere, and it's often only due to the pilots being aware of the situation that disaster was averted. And sometimes, when it's impossible for pil...

For line holders in general, how many days of work are being scheduled per month? Is there the option to drop or trade shifts ? Also is it easy to have a schedule where half of the month is scheduled work and the other half is off? 12 days off are guaranteed per month (well, per bidding period tech...

You start in flight school. It used to be that by the time you are done your commercial, the instructor who signed off your solo would have been in the a 703/704. Nowdays, they are more likely to be in a regional 705, so it doesn't help as much. But you can still make useful connections that way. Th...

Wondering how reserve works at PD: - if everyone regardless of seniority does a few reserve days reserve very month, or is it a full-month for the most junior - if there is a minimum call-out time they have to give Full-month for the most junior. Minimum call-out 2 hours. Working rules for reserve ...

705. Jan-Apr turboprop CA, May-Dec NB jet CA. A bit of overtime. About 650 hours.

How about that......In golden eagles world, half the trash collectors, HVAC wiring, and electricians appear to be women now. How convenient and predictable. I must be blind to the realities of the world outside of utopia. This is not utopia, but it could actually be an example of how local culture ...

Duplicate post, apologies

In reality, it doesn't attract very many people but men are much more willing to bite the bullet and do the job than women. In other words, a lot more women will outright refuse to do that job than men when push comes to shove, even if the monetary reward is reasonable. Again, I think you are not v...

There's very little detailed data available to determine if this is a widespread gender related issue or just a generally sucky environment. Bingo! That's actually exactly what I am trying to say. I don't agree with pushing for equal representation for all demographics; it is ridiculous to suggest ...

I've also personally spoken to a female plumbing apprentice who quit because she found the professional environment extremely hostile to women. She was sad about having to quit because she really enjoyed the actual job. I would call that an irrelevant argument. The more important question would be ...

Perhaps the idea of massively sweating and freezing outdoors is actually attractive to women along with dumping cans of maggot and fly infested refuse into a stinking garbage truck. Silly me to think that this would not attract more women. In reality, it doesn't attract very many people but men are...

Well, I just typed up a response, and the forum ate it

Stand by...

They refuse to accept the reality that women are just not nearly as interested in certain jobs. They have never once seen a female garbage collector and have probably never seen a female plumber, roofer, pest control person, etc. The reason is obvious yet that can't extrapolate that to other career...

How long until we’re going to work every day using traditional navaids only because the U.S. government selectively shuts off GPS over Canadian airspace in an escalating trade war? Been a long time since I’ve done a DME Arc or the NDB A into anywhere. How exactly would they do that? The signal only...

All that being said, I am all for everybody getting the same equal fair chance. I see the BS that there are currently less women as pilots because there had less exposure to it when younger. It is just another excuse to try and reserve the glory jobs for themselves while avoiding the dirty jobs(and...

From the studies I read, this seems to be the case in general.

Males just aren't nearly as interested in doing service jobs like cabin crew. Females just are not as interested in careers as pilots nearly as much. That may be the case, but that's a different argument. I was answering the poster who said it's specifically the idea of being away from home so much...

They quite possibly are as good or better. But that doesn't change that not nearly as high a percentage want to be a pilot at all or an airline pilot. Just like guys are not interested in horses as much. But to what extent is this nature vs nurture? The horse example you bring up is particularly in...

I also don't see why not this: 1900 FO 1900 CA (possibly optional*) E2 FO E2 CA Another route for sure; but be aware the candidate would sit a number of years as a jet FO (3-5 years based on TT joining Porter) in order to meet the upgrade matrix currently in place. Yes, given the matrix, and assumi...

I think, I could be wrong but with how he worded the question, he is asking if he can go FO on a 1900, then Captain on the 1900 to the left seat of the E2. I think your take is correct. But a note to the original poster: learn to express yourself clearly. It comes in mighty handy. As for the questi...

Misread a post, deleted

Internal Dash FOs likely don't meet upgrade matrices, yet. Dash 8 has a more risky operation setup, with island operations and higher upgrade requirements. It's easier for them to just step into the jet. Not only is sidestepping to the jet easier, it likely offers a quicker progression to the left ...

- Not enough flows of Q CA to E2 CA therefore not enough flows within Q fleet The Q pipeline is packed for you to choose Q over E2. What? No, it's literally the opposite: not enough flow within the Q fleet because no one is interested in or eligible to upgrade -> not enough flow to the E2 (because ...
