Is this going to digress into a dick measuring contest? I'd rather show you pictures of my successful kids and happy chihuahuas than my T4 any day. I am happy with my Jazz situation pre MOS4 and I like now knowing what my final payday before retirement might look like. And that's a minimum without a...

Fort Frances Ontario to International Falls Minnesota. PA31-350 six miles in a straight line.

Once upon a time not so long ago we had 40 minutes between flights at our hub. That allowed some time to help out at the back. Now maybe (if we are on time) it’s 20. Somewhere in that 20 I need to get a release, reload the printer when it fails, maybe chat with dispatch about the MEL item due to the...

So this morning I find the story to show it to someone, and I see it has been edited slightly to downplay the non-event somewhat. Interesting is that the story is originally posted September 3 and says "last updated" September 3 as well. Not true. It was updated at least a day or two later. Minor po...

So what's the over/under betting line on how many responses went out her door with that same first paragraph cut and pasted?

"Thanks for your email. We published the story because a member of the public came forward and felt unsafe. Regardless of how common an occurrence is, we believed it was worthy of publication due to the man's perspective. I contacted the airport, TSB and WestJet, two of which are in the story. " Hoo...

Her email address is at the bottom of the article.
Assuming she was able to get that part right at least
I wrote and gave my opinion of her work.

Yes appears to be working. Both of the apps

Using two different apps for weather. Aeroweather on iPhone and Skyvector on iPad. Last two days all US weather stations are working fine but all Canadian Stations not loading or updating on either app. First thought is to dump and re-install. Anyone else having problems with this ? Any ideas? Thx. ...

Well I tried it. For the modest fee of $99 US I was entertained for three hours. The simulator is not full motion, and the program is designed for the non flyer. Basically Microsoft Flight Simulator but on a screen about 6'x8' in front of you. You get to dogfight seven other participants, and on sec...

Has anyone tried this? Any good ?
21000 hours flying passengers in a straight line so this would definitely be different.
Thanks

A couple of hours of drywall mudding in the rec room has gone by... So, how hard did the crew advocate for having the passengers put in a more comfortable setting? "You're next for fuelling, really, we promise" rings pretty thin after a certain number of minutes, not hours, under these conditions. I...

Captains authority in this situation should override corporate issues, my humble opinion. Disclaimer: this is written from the comfort of my kitchen table with a coffee in hand and central air conditioning operable. My gut feeling is the employer said "no" due to dollars and cents. Easy for that ma...

If these clowns can't even do their homework well enough to correctly spell the name of the venue, how can I believe anything they say? Reminds me of the time my employer misspelled the name of the city in question in a flight ops memo. Everything else in that memo was hastily researched inaccurate ...

26 years of trouble free service. Two scheduled tune ups since new and it runs better than I do

All hypothetical of course... On a day in the future... "Captain" Woo, with all of 150 hours in a "real" airplane is in the boiler room/pilot centre operating a flight on behalf of Really Modern Airlines with shite weather at destination and an MEL item that might be a bit grey as to whether he shou...

So for the record he enjoyed a couple of glasses of fair-to-middling quality (non Canadian or Australian) wines with dinner with no questions asked. Helped that conducted himself in a civilized manner and was well dressed. Alcohol is not a novelty for him. As for serving Chilean etc wines on this ro...

That big fuel dump would prevent an overweight landing that may have left "skid marks" on the runway

While boarding an Embraer recently noticed a "wi-fi" decal on fuselage. I cannot find anything on AC website wrt this. Is it installed and running or still pending? Is it on the 777?
Thanks

Mr North Shore. No harm, no foul. Alcohol is neither a novelty nor taboo in our family, but that's for another time and place. I thought he would enjoy having a glass of wine with dinner as part of the special package that is his birthday and graduation gift. He would probably drink more that evenin...

Pratt3's response is sort of what I think it would be like. That would mean that "yes" outbound and "no" inbound.


Anyone have something legally binding to offer?

CSM

Here's a novel idea. Our SOPs state that "the most conservative course of action shall be taken". Keep everyone happy and get deiced (or repeat the procedure if that was the case). By-product is any insinuation of a "snow day" plan by any crewmember gets flushed down the lav as a result. And fwiw th...

I know some FA's and spouses of FA's frequent this site, so... Son travelling with me to SYD from YVR on AC. He is of legal age to drink at destination (18) but not at point of origin(19). So can he have a drink? Which jurisdiction takes precedence? If he was on a domestic Qantas flight he could dri...

I have yet to this addressed in any mainstream media or here... I have checked Malaysia Airlines website for the features of their IFE system and there is no mention of having a "moving map" like AC's IFE system offers. If this system was in place, and still active, and the passengers were still "aw...
