Not saying what happened here with the following statement. A common error with fancy fuel computers is to order the fuel. 20 minutes later, hop in the plane, enter "3000" in the computer, takeoff and go flying. Nobody actually looks at the fuel gauges. Any fuel checks prior to departure are done by...

Gotta check the fuel gauges, not the computer.

The pay should be for one's expertise and experience. Who cares what type of airplane it is. Wanna pay me 300k to fly a 172? Sure!

The type of hours matter quite a bit too. A 2000hr PC-12 FO is a great candidate for PC-12 captain, but not likely to do well in a Q400 left seat.

Those of us that actually work here know what a good job this is. Does it come with some extra risk? Absolutely! It’s a small Company so while that comes with several huge advantages it also doesn’t have the stability of a more established airline. Is it worth the risk… for the majority of us I’d s...

I'd love to send the link for Weathered Strip to 'service at navcanada.ca'. I'm curious why a guy in Quebec can make such a useful and free (for now) website when the full might of the Canadian Government can't. Or won't. NavCanada doesn't actually care about pilots or the customers. Why should the...

I'm not sure why pilot utilization is lower today. It's a general industry trend across all 704/705 lite. 1000hrs a year is the current limit, but that's still only 5.5hrs a day working 15 days/month. Not a whole ton of flying. Is it a lack of support and pilots are wasting duty time on tertiary dut...

Most of those types don't make it past sim 2. When a candidate can't fly a normal departure, yet alone handle malfunctions, it becomes obvious that the logbook isn't accurate. Employment gets terminated on the grounds of "you can't fly airplanes". The hiring company only wastes their own time and si...

The ad says "up to 120,000 CAD". Pretty vague

I did some exploring on that site for fun. Found two European comparable jobs. ATR42/72 Captain €105,000/yr (153,000CAD) Q400 Captain €8,328.27/month (145, 700CAD/yr) What are those Euro companies? https://pilotsdb.brookfieldav.com/m/m-jobs-list/1/-10/0/Captains-jobs There's the list of all Captain...

Has anyone applied to see which company responds?

Take expected career progression, had the individual moved to AC if the contract was followed. Average upgrade times, YOS bumps, all that. Calculate the difference for the whole career, and paid out in one lump sum to every affected pilot. If the old AC/Jazz flow didn't work, the corrections avenue ...

I guess I'm just a little frustrated. We're constantly under surveillance, if we make a mistake, we get CADORed. But I file a company safety report, it gets shelved.. Bit of a decision tree, so follow along appropriately and see if an event is reportable: https://tc.canada.ca/en/aviation/operating-...

Good luck too! Most (all?) foreign DH8 rated captains are already making more than that job ad is offering. Only Canada would consider that pay acceptable.

Embraer needed a north america launch customer. E2 was available sooner and cheaper than C-Series. What's a better plane is dependent upon need and availability. Porter has the agreement with TS. Not sure ETOPS routes are where Porter plans to expand when TS can already do that flying through the JV...

I have heard of innaccurate RSC info causing an accident. If the decision maker is told the runway consition is one thing, and it turn out to be wrong, not really the decision makers fault for being given crap info.

Pick the fight with the corporation, not other pilots.

A ferry permit for an airplane with an engine issue and a gear issue. Also, on an airplane that can't maintain altitude with the gear down single engine.

Sounds like Perimeter is more sketchy than I thought.
