Re: long wait for ADB
On the bright side, I received an invoice for the first time in roughly 15 years for processing my medical. It’s a step in the right direction! No way, you too? Did you happen to do your renewal via telemedicine? Because that's the only change for me and I never got charged before either. I did not...

Re: long wait for ADB
I tried to find up an email from TC regarding a follow up on my renewal. It basically outlined that regardless of how much in advanced you submit, they will not even begin to process your renewal until 90 days prior to expiration. My company informed me a while back that they were something in the t...

Re: Incorrectly logging instrument time
We have previously agreed that if a plane is hopping over from Hamilton to Kitchener on a VFR itinerary and joining the circuit for landing on a clear day and just eyeballing it, that's not valid instrument time. But! If you are the aircraft behind them and you have the ILS dialed in and you are us...

Re: Airline radio procedures
I went from an Air Tractor to a Q400 when I made the transition to airlines a while ago. You're many steps ahead of where I was, if you have experience transmitting on a VHF radio. :lol: There is some good information above, but I think it's important to brush up on ICAO standard radio phraseology. ...

Re: Do you think Flair is a stable career choice?
The goldilocks balance of lifestyle, compensation, and work satisfaction. The 737 has the perfect-sized fuel tanks. It goes far enough that you get good credit and lots of days off and not so far that you have to worry about the back of the clock and time zones. Does that mean the red eye turns whe...

Re: Grass strip winter maintenance options
My local strip owner uses a blower too. Only blows 2/3's of the runway which leaves about 2000'. More then enough and we run 8.00x6 tires on our 170. I haven't heard him bitching about shear pins mind you.

Re: Your flashlight in your flight bag?
I nerded out and picked up a Fenix TK20R half a dozen years ago. Zero issues. I think I have charged it once? Looks like v2.0 is out. After having 1000 lumens, I wouldn't buy anything less. The variable lumens is nice. 10 is much better than 1000 inside the flight deck :lol: https://www.fenixlightin...

Re: YTZ FOs! Where do you live? Jk I’m not fbi.
When I worked for Porter, I lived (and still live) in London. Reserve was short lived. I think it was a few months if I recall? It was easy to hold the long 4 day pairings, but there were only a small percentage of them. I used to run 3 (4) day pairings + 1 split a month. Lots of nights on the road,...

Re: Know Your Worth & Ask For It
Has anyone asked for $500? I have. $525/day. I got relatively close to it on a "total compensation" package. I have also been paid well above that. Know your worth and stick to it is very sound advise. Total compensation is key as I have taken jobs north of 1k per day. Some times HR just plunks you...

I am under the impression a base bid was run and upgrades were exhausted. The company is under rapid expansion plans. Do you have information to state otherwise?
