Didn't realize flying planes was suffering.Turboprops wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 8:58 am Also, isn’t the whole point of Jazz approach so that you don’t have to instruct/ go up North and suffer like the rest of the poor guys? If you’re going to instruct/ go North anyways, why would you spend 2x the money to get to the exact same place?

Re: Is it realistic to work as a pilot in BC for your whole career?
Canada is a big country, it's not all bad. Don't be afraid to leave your little bubble. To answer your question; yes. Do your training, get a job instructing, get on with pasco/carson, then go airlines. Or go straight from instructing to the airlines. You may have to commute a bit if you get a base ...

Re: Air North
Not much turnover. If you can get in I'd go for it. Cost of living is pretty high, your biggest cost is rent and internet, gas is $1.80'ish currently. The housing market has dropped about 10-15% currently and will go down a bit more I think so if you're in a position to buy you could do alright. Thi...

After landing, while taxiing the aircraft to a nearby shore, the aircraft was caught in a river current and grounded ...

Re: Tyax emergency landing
I'm wondering if anyone has any information about this. The news said the Beaver had to do an emergency landing, and the six occupants are injured but recovering. I'm not interested in the mechanical details or who-did-what: it's just that it's possible one of my friends was the pilot. We haven't s...

May want to reconsider your source for decision making. 90 pilots of which 1/4 have been there longer than 20 years. Or stick with your "I knew this guy once". Better still tell us about the person who opted out and why. I will confirm the accuracy of their claim for you. No need to get uppity. Tho...

Re: First RCAF C-295 makes Maiden Flight
Payload and range is what my friends in the service said. Herc would have been a better choice in many peoples' opinion.
But my DeHavilland fanboy'ism would've loved a revamped Buffalo.

You'll be flying the same routes, every day, with Summit. But you'll be home every night.

No different than the Toronto yahoos going 100 km/hr on 401. Cut speed to 50 and be less accidents and lower insurance premiums.
