YMMV.

Damn. So close.

Used my A20 across the pond. No issues at all.

And how do you plan to achieve improved wages and conditions now that the strike card has been taken off the table? Management can just say no and all you can do is say oh, ok. They have already shown that they are hostile towards your group by hiring OTS for Swoop. They aren't going to give you mo...

Please elaborate further. Clearly. What is this bad road you speak of?

Wild speculation is what I'm reading here.

Well said.

That sums the reasons for 3000's demise nicely. You only missed 9/11, Royal's books, plus a few more...

Rumour has you’re avoiding answering questions on here.

Will you be taking the LOA, so you could be a day oner Swoopster?
It be great to see you in the non union paradise you so desire at Swoop.

At the risk of this spreading... the term I’ve heard is (ugh) “Swooperstar”.

Forums don’t bother me.. trolls (normally) don’t bother me.

I do have something against continually misleading and trying to create division for no purpose. He doesn’t have one side or the other’s interests at heart.. just himself. Nothing wrong with calling out a troll.

People! STOP FEEDING INTO THIS NONSENSE!

DO!
NOT!
FEED!
THE!
TROLL!

This is turning into 121.5...

“Guarrrrd”. Ignore these meaningless posts.

No troll here! Just trying to be funny. I guess I’m not.

Nah, wasn’t referring to you, I meant NCP.

While it's correct that there has been no internal posting there is nothing prevent current employees from applying. It has also been posted the current employees would keep the employee number and "seniority" position for vacation. Not sure if it applies to pay position, still some unknowns. ALPA ...

Most of us senior pilots don't have a preference for what you do. We're fine with our existing pay and schedules and just waiting for the 787. Good luck to you in your choices.

Ah yes. The “eat your young” mentality. Bravo.

Hold on now. Let's not re-write history to favour how you felt things went down. Step 1: WestJet declares it will set up an ULCC arm. Step 2: WJPA and WJ engaged in high level talks at determining wages for the Swoop pilots. Parity between WJ and Swoop pilots was mentioned by the WJPA. WJ leadershi...

Figure 15 on page 50 says it all. Basically the FPA mode achieves the desired descent angle in still air - works most of the time when the wind is not too strong. One would have thought that FPA would be referenced to the touchdown point with GPS or IRS providing corrections. However the aircraft w...

It was in detail in the report, and considered to be not a factor for this incident.

Gotcha. No surprise there that fatigue rules are good as they are.

Is it just me, or did anybody notice that they started the descent 0.2 (1216) back from the FAF and were 0.3 (1824) back from the published MDA? Then wind accounted for 608' farther back from the MDA.

Fatigue never mentioned at the presentation.
