Ultimate goal would be seating left seat in the Twin Otter. After the Twin Otter if I were to get out of the bush it wouldn't be more than corporate flying. Big Airlines isn't really for me...too much auto pilot and not enough Pilot I've got the float rating, and I do want to go bush. The only justi...

Personal opinions on subject matter being debated are irrelivant. If anything, be a citizen that votes if you feel the need that this is improper useage of government funding. Heck, the government accepts letters....why not write them and tell them why you think funding people is such a terrible thi...

your stupidy for not taking home what you "purchased". Again as far as I'm concerned....it's your money....use it. Apparently what you fail to realize little one is that if you stay in aviation you'll have ample opportunity to draw from it for legit reasons when you get your first pink slip. http:/...

This is such an inappropriate use of public funds! There are too many pilots as it is. EI should be paying for people to go into the construction trades not into an industry that has a chronic oversupply of labour which is forcing wages and job satisfaction through the floor. Canada needs trades pe...

Ditto. I had what I thought was a good resume but Xsbank 'trimed the fat' on both res and CV and yet kept it clear and concise. A comment here: I've been lurking these forums for sometime and only recently posted. I get tired of seeing all the bitchin' and whining and negative comments. Xsbank, and...

Statistics State that...
Statistics State that...there are more deaths by donkey kicks than pilots. What's your take? What other stupid fiction/nonfiction stats have you heard? A skydiving fatality is 1 out of 116,666 skydives. The odds of a fatality due to a motor vehicle are 1 out of 6,212. This shows that skydiving is 1,...
