Re: New yyz slots..this is gonna hurt!

It is intended as sarcastic humour, not passive aggressive but regardless, I'm happy to explain. Anybody can look up their GDP time at the link below, but keep in mind, it doesn't apply to the apreq delays which I mentioned earlier. https://www.fly.faa.gov/edct/jsp/edctLookUp.jsp You can find FAA GD...

Re: New yyz slots..this is gonna hurt!

ATC flow delays are a result of the airport capacity being reduced to roughly 30 arrivals per hour from 60+ due to the 05/23 closure. When demand exceeds capacity on a routine basis, obviously halving the acceptance rate will lead to delays. The situation is no different than a restaurant with 30 ta...

Re: Changing from IFR to VFR

You must wait 8 years after qualification to to be eligible to "downbid" from the acc or a complex tower like pearson to another vfr site, and you can only do it once in your career. Once eligible, there is a process to get a spot which takes time and then a release from your current position and th...

Re: Requesting a Visual after being Cleared for Approach

Wrong....at the very least it provided information and eliminates the requirement for a monitor controller.

Re: Requesting a Visual after being Cleared for Approach

Did you read the initial post? The OP stated he was third on final already cleared the approach. He asked what benefit it gave to ATC. He didn't state that it was in a high density terminal with parallel rwy ops in effect. Yes, and I thought I'd elaborate on the topic. I stated 3 reasons to show wh...

Re: Requesting a Visual after being Cleared for Approach

Where are you people getting your false information? Reporting the airport or preceding traffic is one of the most important things a pilot can do in a high density terminal environment particularly where parallel approaches are in operation and has these advantages: 1. IFR separation (3 miles or 10...

Re: Recruiting process for ATC

Vince,

I have green circles both with completion dates of 2008-10-11.

IFR was my preference, but I think they decide what stream you end up in based on testing results.

Sean,

Any rumors around yyz as to when the next course is?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys. Where do most controllers and trainees live then? White Rock, Richmond, Surrey itself? I take it people aren't into that long public transit commute, and I don't imagine driving is any better.

Cancelling IFR

What's the deal with everybody "continuing on a company itin" when landing somewhere with a tower or FSS.

From my understanding cancelling IFR DOES NOT cancel the alerting services.
