Good answer Dog:

Couldnt agree more

I am confused. I thought the example of good vs. evil was fine. I didnt realize CID thought TC was the "good"

In fact, I am sure he was refering to TC as "the evil" and the AvCanada, caped crusader and critics as fighters for good.

How is it you guys are getting it different?

Mr. Jones asked: So are you saying that a 200 hour guy should fly PIC initially (while carrying passengers or a student) to learn the ropes rather than fly Right Seat learning from an experienced What I am suggesting is that a new commericail pilot should gain some experience in decision making in a...

That was not what I was referring to but I would agree that it is a little disturbing.

Charlie g: If you are a history buff you will know that one of the first things the Nazi party did was to stifle opposition speaking out.

CID: A classic case of good vs. evil!!!! Never thought of it that way. Flattering to think I am fighting evil and not just a bunch of power abusing, incompetent, double dipping management in TC. Will have to go and get measured for a cape. Seriously, if I can be any help to de-evilling TC let me kno...

I think the difference is fundamentally this. A person with a commercial license possessess the necessary (if minimum) experience to become an instructor. The person with a bare commercial license who thinks they can jump into a king air or whatever is out of touch with reality. No one mentions to t...

Cat: Charlie g wrote condemn " Nope, I think he meant "condemn"....its called a Freudian slip. Well maybe not. He might have got it from a NavCanada policy manual. Actually when I read his complete statement it is hilarious. Glad to see you are finally being honest Charlie g. I hope everyone who rea...

Charlie g: I dont wish to give you any reply , and it is not because I feel I would be unfairly battling wits with someone who is unarmed. The simple issue is you want to take issue with everything and I see little being resolved. If you are in fact truely interested in this matter the Act is availa...

You're just feeding Trey's backpedalling.

Exactly how was I backpeddling?

I am really starting to think we need some kind of TC/bullsh't filter on here...geez, I probably just violated some CAR.

Dust Devil. Give up my friend. This guy will say anything. Let me see, he is now taking credit for TC shutting down companies that were shut down only after tragic and fatal accidents. I notice he is not saying that we can expect two or three more of these "shady" operators to be shut down in the ne...

OK, here is the inside scoop. Ops mgr walks into the coffee room. Moseys up to the chief pilot and tries to get a donut or two away from him. Some nasty bite wounds result but eventually as they get around to licking the sprinkles off the bottom of the box the conversation goes something like this. ...

Do those turbos require a cool down after you park, and do they charge you hobbs time for cool down?

dont know about a Senaca. Navajo is three minutes at least unless they are charging you hobbs time then no cool down is required.

CID wrote: If there was no regulation, the country would be full of Skywards and SonicBlues and Jetsgos and worse. So we agree then. The country, is, in fact full of SonicBlues etc, which means we have no regulator. Is that what you are saying. Or are you saying that these companies can exist even t...

Maybe the "accidents" referred to are related to incontenence

What accidents are you talking about? I had to rush to the John and missed that part....wait...gotta go again...let me know

CID wrote: TC certainly has problems, but I really don't see their internal problems as being the fundamental reason 703 operators are killing people I did not, or I did not intend to make any such connection. The problem is TC is pretty much toothless until after the fact when it comes to bandit op...

low and over, my two cents is to get yourself at least 1000PIC before looking for a coporate job. there are all sorts of pilots out there with a brazillion hours TT and no PIC to speak of. They are career co-pilots unless the particular company they work for has a machine or two to let them build PI...

CID: I do not expect TC to solve all my problems, and I do take responsibility for my actions. WHAT I DO EXPECT FROM TC however is honesty, integrity, and fair treatment of all. And from my experience their managment has failed miserably to provide this. the result is the overall frustration felt he...
