There a fundamental failure and disconnect here in the administration of the current regulations. The issue is that what you are stating as the half-life of cannabis, is in reality the half life of a completely non-psychotic metabolite of THC, called THC-COOH. Obviously as a metabolite, THC would f...

Some restrictions are fair. But there's a significant difference between everything you've listed before, which has restrictions for less than 24 hours, and then the cannabis restriction which basically means you'd lose your job if you use it. A 28 day restriction is quite severe. No. It's because ...

Very cool. Well done.

Let's say we have sleep issues. It's much better to be prescribed, by a doctor, any number of hypnotics or tranquilizers synthetically produced by pharmaceuticals. These of course, carry very real warnings of addiction, dependance, abuse, organ damage, and of course, leave you groggy, foggy, and ev...

You learn things sure. But are you learning relevant skills, specifically you honestly think an instructor who logs 95% + of their time not even touching the controls, and spending 95% of their time within 30 minutes of one airport is learning more toward the skills necessary for an AIRLINEtpl than...

Having done both, I'd say it's a toss up. You learn lots of things in every branch of aviation.

Because the objective is to gain command experience. I know you guys think you can just switch seats and be good to go but it's a different ballgame. Being able to fly the plane is the easy part. It's the decision making that is hard. Your ego is dripping News flash, an atpl is just a piece of pape...

This is the document that TC uses in assessing your medical for psych reasons.

1. Flying school that hires it's flight instructor candidates
2. Freelance instructor
3. Flying school that doesn't hire its own instructors.

Couldn't this problem be solved with going the opposite direction - for example - 250 hours multi PIC?

The argument "oh you will spend more time in the left seat" is soo unbelievably frustrating. Anyone who knows anything about investing knows that money today is worth way more than money down the road (Especially if it takes 10-12 years just to upgrade to hold short call in the most junior base WJ ...

If it was 4% across the board, I can understand your justification. But this is different. 4% for the year 2 person, 30% for the rest. You may as well look the youngster in the face and say 'your kids dont need new shoes, they can wait a few years because that top guy making a quarter mil really ne...

It makes sense. Most if not all ALPA dealing with negots are old dinosaurs that make sure they get the biggest part of the pie and leave the scraps for new pilots. "I paid my dues. You have it so good now, back in my time..." Nonsense. The WJA NC consists of one relatively junior captain and four F...

The best part about this is that: At $80k: Every extra $1 earned might cost about 28-31 cents in tax. At $350k: Every extra $1 earned might cost about 53-54 cents in tax So most of the large increase didn't even go to the Senior pilot, it went to the government. That's true. As is the argument that...

Lol Bede... Tell us you don't know shit without saying you don't know shit. The root of the problem for us juniors is Percent of Captain Pay. PCP... YOU KNOW ME?! This is why ALPA majors have fixed this. Until you fix that, you will get boomer Captains getting 4 times the raise. And if you think a ...

Gains were the highest year 3-4 FO and then 1-2 FO in the last deal... then in all FO seats NB, then WB, then NB CA, then WB CA, - except all 767 which took big gains coming off cargo scale. Are these MEC talking points? Who is writing this North Korea propaganda? B777 Captains got a $90 per hour r...

Correct.

Sue for what?

What if he was black? Would it have been a legitimate meal request then? If he was going for the stereotype he didn't complete it either - non-alcoholic Buds? It's not like he ordered a 40 oz of Old English or Colt 45. Did you read the decision? The arbitrator determined that it wasn't a legitimate...

I don't disagree. However, with the GFA note of "trace/light icing in cloud above freezing level", it's probably correct to interpret any visible moisture above the freezing level to constitute forecast icing... I'm simply outlining some of the more conservative interpretations that are often used ...

You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and have a solid plan. It won't be as easy as when you're 20, but it should work out for you.

Good luck!

It sounded like it. lol (The labour relations people at WestJet all came from CP. They brought the attitude with them.)

Go though all exercises. You don't need to do the entire route. It's like a flight test, but yo can break it down into several flights until they're competent on all the exercises.

I know how much former Jazz employees all love to say how much it sucks and they hate it. I used to work at Jazz. I never thought it sucked. It was good when I was there 16 years ago. Don't know much about it now. My only reason to discourage someone from going there is that you're always the red h...
