Here's an idea, AC. Offer a lifetime unlimited -- or even with max miles per year -- flight pass, with fair upgrade options to business class. It's been done before. The right price, people might bite. American Airlines did this back in the day. It was a financial disaster, AC would know this.

Booked my Aerocoruse for January in YYC. My plan was to study from December till the seminar which starts Jan 16. Once the class is over I would head home and write both exams a few days after. Just wondering if this seems reasonable to those who have done it before. Yes, write the exams before eve...

We have a full load of students at my FTU. Honestly aside from being closed for 5 weeks at the beginning of all this nothing has changed. We still have easily over 75% of our students wanting to go all the way (CPL MIFR etc) and about 25% just for the PPL

The other issue with battery's I imagine would be the weight. A full and empty battery weighs the same. Hydrogen is probably the future. Once they can figure out to make it economically viable as others here pointed out.

I think so. There is nothing in the CARs I see saying the rides got to be within x amount of time.

Is there a period of time you must be a class 2 before going for a class 1? Or could you do a class II ride then a 1 ride a few days after if you were ready?

Sent you a PM Minister31. And yea my TC guys I should only log hood when in IMC. Then the DPE we use says they can't prove it and to just log less .3 if you file IFR.

Just my opinion but I don’t think aviation really ever recovered from 9/11. By recovery, I mean a return to original wage and working conditions prior to the crisis. Aviation just came out of an unprecedented hiring spree.. contracts were signed during this period that denuded wage and working cond...

Not much information. Anyone have any news on it yet?

The federal government supporting airlines FINALLY. One can hope. Only regional flights or operators it seems so AC and WJA are SOL still for the most part. Really who do you think operate the regional flights they are referring to? I don't think they are talking about flights out of Pickell Lake o...

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/throne-speech-highlights-1.5735874 The Liberals say they will work with partners to support regional routes for airlines. "It is essential that Canadians have access to reliable and affordable regional air services," says the speech. "This is an issue of equity, of j...

I want to renew mine but also don't want to spend 1000$ + (I got quoted 600 for just the ride...) and not have a gig lined up. But I also emailed several places and got told no. There's no a surplus of instructors, how things change Yea. A buddy of mine did the math, he was better off staying on EI...

I can't even get FTUs to call me back when I want to book recurrent Instructor training. Business must be good. I know almost a dozen instructors in the YEG area that are either current and want a job or not current and wanna get back into it. Unless you are buddy buddy with a Class 1 good luck fin...

The shaper edge and use of the FIG and Flight Test guides, your good to go.

Looks pretty sweet! I know people who fly the Challenger 605 and say its an amazing jet to fly. Hopefully in a year or so they got some job postings.

Everything has been done in PDF format, I've never sent any paper at all and never walked in a TC office.

How many pages of your log book did you have to send in?

Last I heard you send in everything.

When they say zero tolerance its ZERO tolerance. For some reason people seem to forget this. The passenger is probably lying through his teeth about how it all came to be. Id bet the crew has a much different view of the incident then what the news is reporting from the passengers perspective. Hes s...

As others have said not at all. Learn from it and keep going. I know tons of people who partial TC exams especially the CPL.

Congrats. Ya thats what my instructor told me to do. I know a TC guy is telling me this but there is zero info about it in writing. SO annoying.
