I saw another picture at the gate, you can see the goose carcass half out of the window, the other half presumably inside with the Captain, scary situation for sure! I wonder what the collision altitude and indicated airspeed was to do that. Not sure of the source, but: On Thursday 24 October tail ...

Flair birdstrike yesterday in YYZ. The fuselage appears to be damaged.

Any of the boroscopes I looked at, don't have the temperature range needed. These cowls are a PIA.

Have you thought of getting a sleep study done? A sleep study and CPAP machine has worked wonders for me.

Boeing 737-800 was conducting flight FLE501 from Vancouver International Airport (CYVR), BC, to the Region of Waterloo International Airport (CYKF), ON, with 6 crew and 134 passengers on board.

That's great news!

$42/hr is almost 30% higher than the Canadian average hourly rate - Canadian average hourly earnings 2020 $42/hr x 2000 hr/yr is roughly $84K a year. Is everyone supposed to make over $100k a year? Or maybe $150K? And how would Canada/the world work if they did? What's your point? 2 years of colleg...

What would you like to know? I'm airline, so that's what I can relate to. I started as an apprentice in the late 80's. Pay was ok, I moved up quickly to a licensed mechanic, because I had my AME shortly after getting out of school. Once you are licensed, you will start getting offered courses. Depen...

They have a rental agreement for a hangar in YYZ.

No AMM, no OC, interior not complete, but mechanics tools left on board from Ireland.

We've had several avionics guys get their 'M' license. A lot more overtime available at the time.

This incident was during the winter storm in the GTA. A direct quote from the captain, a friend, "the engines were at idle for 2 hours in 2 feet of snow" The core of the engine was full of ice. After all inspections from the company and RR were completed, the airplane returned to service. It was ins...

Part of the problem is the rules got changed. 1 day over 6 months with no recorded security use renders the RAIC and AVOP inactive. That cannot be correct, please tell me that is not correct. Our flight department carries them only for identification and in case we get checked on the ramp so they a...

Part of the problem is the rules got changed. 1 day over 6 months with no recorded security use renders the RAIC and AVOP inactive. Driving now requires training, test, and driven test. Wait times are disgusting, and forcing people to line up for hours. This third world airport doesn't have extended...

Does anybody know, and I'm asking legitimate question, if law enforcement have to a apply for a SFOC, or get NAV CANADA approval for their flights? I know it's used for commercial requests, but I can see where law enforcement might not have the same time frame for a request.

Thanks.

Hello guys, I have been working in the industrial for M1 aircraft for almost 5 years. With my M1 logbook signed 130+ tasks, somehow, TC officials still think that I am only under 50% completion. I am really frustrated by the situation that many of the tasks in the logbook my company wont even do. I...

I like this map. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/us-map

That's great news. I was talking to another A330 captain, via email, and he had been recalled as well.

Take care.

Gilles,

who flew C-GTQF this week? I saw a IG post with it leaving the hangar.

Can https://www.tico.ca/ help?

Air Transat in YYZ lost over 100 people. 21 remain with 1 manager. That is all trades. Supposedly the same number remaining in YUL. Letters went out Friday.

Hopefully it has improved...

Went thru there last fall. Female security lost her mind when my replacement hip set off the alarm.

We've had lots of guys start out as tow crew, interior and interior avionic mechanics, and hangar cleaners, before getting hired as maintenance. They were trade school grads, they just needed to get their foot in the door. They worked OT A checks, to get some logbook time, and experience, then when ...
