The 20 knots had nothing to do with this (though, I don't agree with it being added in the first place). That type of speed is added on a regular basis in the winter (icing conditions). It is probably more connected to the fact that they spend all of initial ground school terrifying pilots over the...

At least they’re asking for an ATPL ...

What if you’re deadheading on another airline ? It certainly wouldn’t show DH on the boarding pass

It is very hard to show a return on investment upgrading runways and approaches. So I do not think Halifax will consider an ILS on 5 or 32 when a LPV approach gets you down to 200-250 ft decision altitude right now. Conversely building stores and restaurants in terminals generates revenue. That is ...

What's so concerning is the mindset that diversion, even under such bad conditions, isn't an option. I've heard many discussions about whether operators should upgrade to WAAS or Halifax should upgrade to 4 ILSes, and in the end, if operators don't want to do the costly upgrade then they have to be...

I’d take it for sure. Challenging plane yes but it’ll build your skills. I’ve never met a bad metro pilot. Just make sure you double up on the ear pro.

I've done it, best decision I ever made. You won't regret it. ... Flying a Kingair/PC12 is ridiculously easy. All you need to develop right now is good IFR skills. The rest you should already have (Flight planning, weather, fuel, decision making, airsmanship, etc). I have been flying fixed wing VFR...

Hello, I am looking for some input and some suggestions on who to contact or what to do next for employment. I am currently converting my helicopter to a fixed wing license. I am trying to plan ahead bit and see what my next steps should be. When I am finished I will have about 1100 hours total tim...

Reminder that in 1988 the US navy shot down an Iranian passenger aircraft killing all 290 people on board. The excuse given by the US Navy was that they incorrectly identified the widebody Airbus A300 for a F-14 "Iran Air Flight 655 was a scheduled passenger flight from Tehran to Dubai via Band...

Heavy tailwind/gust Shitty runway surface condition Shitty visibility and ceiling On a -800 which doesn’t have the greatest reputation for its braking/landing performance And they landed on the shortest runway ... It doesn’t look like they tried to hold and wait, they just went straight for gusto. 1...

I know a very decent 703 company that will absolutely enforce the bond and they will lawyer up even if the cost of collection is higher than what they’ll collect. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. If you want to bail after 3 months for that oh-so desirable Jazz job and you signed a bond t...

Not only that but imagine in a day of solid IMC and moderate icing ...

I’m not surprised, it’s the equivalent of trying to find a renter through craigslist ‘wanted’.

Having done both the rotary and fixed wing walk of shame/hangar knocking, I would make those observations: - The road trip thing is kind of a shotgun spread approach, you might get lucky and walk in as they need someone (actually one time after a week long road trip, driving to Slave Lake, I missed ...

There was also a few guys doing the boat/RV thing ... not a bad idea as well.

Looking at airbnb's not to bad for price wise. Thanks Disgusting Chinese run clandestine hotels, I’d rather drive 12 hours, sleep in my car and/or book off than sleep in one of these. I haven’t commuted to YVR lately but I thought the crew rates for winter at the Accent Inn and the Sandmann signatu...

Yikes. You would think the system would catch up to him sooner or later with all of those failures :rolleyes: Not when the system is flawed and people these days are hired in order to meet some sort of “diversity” quota instead of being hired based on their credentials and ability. Ding ding ding !...

Just goes to show you how arbitrary the selection process is. There's a number who shouldn't be here but one individual in specific, I am absolutely shocked was hired. Based on their Jazz training record it should have been an auto PFO. Either they lied in their interview, or multiple failed rides ...

Copypasta from PPRUNE Training Incompetency and Failures 6/27/11 - Resigned from CommutAir for failing DHC-8 initial 8/13/12 - Resigned from Air Wisconsin for failing CRJ initial 4/22/14 - Failed EMB-145 Oral at Trans State Airlines 5/11/14 - Failed EMB-145 Type Rating at Trans States Airlines 5/17 ...

Because a pilot flew at Westjet and had Westjet training does not make him immune (SXM?) Glass houses and all that To suggest that somehow pilot A is somehow better than pilot B because he flew a Westjet aircraft is a bit ridiculous. Bullshit. It’s quite apparent that Swoop is staffed by literally ...
