That is good info. Thanks for sharing.

I would not be surprised if the ignition system stayed the same. Sparks a spark.

Wow!! Must be negotiation time soon.

Go for it, great experience. Pay may be a bit less but so are the taxes. Don't worry about your AME Lic. Just show up before expiry and pay your dough. I have never been questioned.

PRM (Person Responsible for Maintenance) aka DOM (Director of Maintenance) Your are the one that carries all responsibilities for maintenance and will held accountable for answers if and when the shit hits the fan, so hopefully you have broad shoulders. Not a job for the faint of heart, but then aga...

I remember, a long time ago, a friend took a job looking after the phones on aircraft in YYC. All night and boring. Needless to say, he got out as soon as he found work else ware.

CdnNorth and CFM....?? Must have bought a new A/C type.

Sorry, this is definately not the occupation for you. The job is 24/7 anytime, anywhere and who pays the most.

Happy New Year, Whitehorse, Yukon.

Buy a Snap-on ratchiting screwdriver, and thats all from Snap-on. Get a SK 72 tooth 1/4 ratchet ( I just replaced mine from E-bay) lost it. A set of 1/4 " 12 point sockets, again SK. 12 point are hard to find but if you do any brand would be OK. Deep 12 point are also helpfull. Wire strippers, if ca...

I'm curious to know how much of the wing area consists of spoiler panels. It comes down to some thoughts on de-iceing. Back in the bad old days we didn't de-ice enough. Seems like nowadays we do too much of it. A case in point is when you have some very "minor" frost on the spoiler panels and the r...
