I am saying that there are a lot of really bad pilots out there with 10 years of experience and a lot of bad pilots that are newer but have uni. Same for great pilots, same for OK pilots................ You talk about being a pilot like it is only about the technical skills, what about the rest of ...

7 years into this industry since my CPL was complete. 5k hours, 3 companies, never made a T4 more than 50k yr, but managed to pay off more than that in student debt. Salary today is about 40k. Now I have the opportunity for a big raise, but circumstances don’t really jive for a poor schedule to do ...

Who will be the better pilot, someone who has sat in a class room for ten years or someone who has flown an airplane for a living for ten years? Depends on the person not the experience or education :lol: Dude, are you drunk? So depending on the person the guy who sat in a classroom for 10 years is...

The comment about you possibly having a PhD was more to do with the "I'm not calling you stupid" part of the sentence, not about your worth as a person. Your comment about PhDs is incorrect. A PhD is a 4 to 6+ year graduate degree requiring you to produce novel research in your field of study, culm...

Lol, you actually believe that crap? And are you really so naive as to think the manner most people text or post to these boards from their smart phones reflects how they would construct their CV or anything formal? Guess education and intelligence are really not linked eh? If you want to talk abou...

Lol, "education" you mean you're be more impressed with a applicant with a masters in lesbian dance theory, than someone with EXPERINCE?? Also living in a college down, making it through flight training and into that first job is far more impressive than most of the graduate programs I see, even fr...

Pay pilots a livable and fair wage (not the $30k for FO or $50k for capt bs)in accordance with our education and experience levels if you plan on retaining your pilots Is there a minimum education level now to get a Commercial or ATPL? If so what is the education level? Or do you mean a five thousa...

For one there is no pilot shortage, just a pilot PAY shortage. For two I like how he worded it, what a spineless whimp, would have had more respect, not that I have any to start with lol, if he would have just nutted up and said flat out, "call your government representative and ask that your pilot ...

Thinking a communist third world country with MAJOR human rights issues is Mecca for anything is laughable. I mean there are plenty of other chit holes where you can make more money, take the Middle East for example, and at least over there's it's honest enough to not pretend to be anything different.

Unlike fightclub the first rule of crossfit is to tell everyone. I work as a full time firefighter with several high level very competitive athletes. The most injuries from exercise on and off our job come from the crossfit gym. If you are not planning on entering the olympics,why try to train like...

. How do the service ceilings compare...? They are unpressurized piston planes, never been a fan of flying above o2 range, shoving junk into my nose and hauling o2 tanks, homie don't play that game. But to the topic, flown both, including light 206s (including u206s with 550s and extensions), I bou...

* Canadian Airline Transport Pilot's Licence with Group 1 Instrument Rating * Canadian Category 1 Medical Certificate * Experience on type or similar is preferred * 500 hours multi-engine airplane I never thought I would see the day but it's kind of nice to see that eventually, pay is going to have...

We had some issues with oil press indications in the cold, the first guy i flew with had several 206/185s. He used to fill the oil pressure tube with hydraulic fluid every fall. I gots to tell ya it works like a hot damn, oil pressure within seconds, ask your ame if you have similar issues What kin...

Flew with a guy recently that was offered then turned down a spot there. He said bond was $24k... Which makes sense, the pay is a little low for flying a B737, so they are probably worried people are going to just get the type, enough hours on type and jump to a better paying job. Isn't too bad if ...

Guessing the pay must be well into the six figures if its so high above the industry standard that they can't even post it

Unions are earned like a restraining order. I've always worked for small operations, my direct manager has always been ether myself or the owner, till my most recent job. The aviation side of the house is union, the medical side is not, and seeing how we are treated and how they are treated when it ...

500 hours and you’ll start looking attractive to the scumbag operators, Yes that is true. But if you have the right attitude and are willing to be part of the company and willing to learn you will look attractive to the good companies and you will not need to apply to scumbag companies. It is more ...

Per that job "offer"
Uhh how about

Dude, you're going to live in BC (aka Bring Cash) and work at a regional (guessing horizon)? That commute only makes sense if you're working at a major and making over a quarter mil USD a year, but hey, your life. Only way that might make sense is if you lived out of town and had a small plane to co...

I've been in the south for a while now, but I just don't get the hard on people have for the airlines.

Lots of other places where you can break six figures easily and not have to deal with the airline BS.

No one likes a bossy beaver

It's a van, not exactly a ice master. It's also slow, unless you going into a itty bitty strip, leave the flaps alone. Also good to keep a eye on your elevator trim, if it's getting maxed out, things are not happy back there. That lower pic does look pretty bad if you have the boots on. Keeping them...

Same site, but the US Army survival manual would be my choice.

It's a valjoux 7750 based watch.

Side note, in my experience a diving bezel comes in much more use for flying than a tiny little e6b.

I'm a automatic watch guy, to me a quartz watch is on the same lines as wearing Velcro shoes.
