The new duty time regs. Are a ridiculous attempt at a one size fits all solution designed for the airlines. I understand that the 705 world needs new duty limits but to paint all 704 operations with the same brush is asinine. I personally fly on average 3-4 days a month so even if all of my days wer...

Wage and working conditions at Skyservice, at least on the aircraft I fly are excellent.

That bird had every wiz bang gadget known to man to aid you.

My condolences. Why? Do you honestly think things will become all sunshine and lollipops just because ALPA shows up? No what will happen is the Union will make it more difficult for westjet to be profitable so the profit sharing will cease to exist, they will have to pay Union dues and at the end o...

My condolences.

Ahh the CBAA......the same people trying to get the new fatigue rules squashed or watered down considerably. As they should be. The new duty time regulations although good for 705 operations are completely out of line for 704 operations, especially those that switch between 604 and 704. The new reg...

I was wondering that myself. How exactly will anyone determine if a drone is flying at say a legal 85 metres or and illegal 91?

For all you low time guys looking to get a start this is a great place to do that. You'll obtain a very diverse set of experiences that will serve you well in your career to come. The owners are great guys also. Geodesy took a chance on me with about 600 hrs TT 17 years ago, I still use and remember...

Neither.

Frankly, if you can't conduct an IFR flight at night, you have no business conducting one in the daytime, either. The whole idea is that you should be able to do the whole thing without being able to see out the window at all, from just after takeoff until just before landing. Whatever colour the n...

BTW.. We might all not know what you claim we all do. It is those kinds of claims that can lead a young pilot astray I wasn't directing my statement at a general audience, it was directed at you. That's why I wrote "Trey Kule" at the start of my post. Then when I changed to writing directly to Alis...

Trey Kule, We all know that getting a job is about who you know, or more importantly who knows you. That's what I mean by network, Alister needs to meet people in the industry so when a spot for a low timer opens up he will be the one that either a friend or acquaintance says give this kid a shot. Y...

What Shinitz means is.... smoke as many poles as you can until Jazz reluctantly accepts your crappy Cover Letter and Resume explaining why you are a perfect fit after ZERO real world flying and a bunch of fake "P.I.C". You seem like a perfect fit for pole smoking. 40ET Wow! That's pretty harsh. I g...

Aviation is a life sucking, family wreaking racket. OP be careful listening to advice such as the quoted above. If a pilot says aviation is life sucking and such my first thought is not to believe him but rather question his decision making when it comes to his aviation career choices. I'm 20 years...

Personally I couldn't care less about which seat I sit in or which column I'm filling out in my log book. I'm PIC qualified and use the Captain designation because it allows me to negotiate a higher salary.
Wage and working condition is what matters not which seat you happen to be riding in that leg.

2 full time Captains

In RVSM airspace, yes.

Also the question you must ask yourself is does the failure affect your ability to comply with ATC instructions. If the answer is yes then you'd better be telling them about it.

God it breaks my heart to think of Seafires being cut up for scrap. Even having the nameplate would be worth big money. Are any of that variant even still in existence? There's this one that I've seen at Oshkosh... https://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-communities-and-interests/eaa-warbirds-of-americ...

By the phrasing of your post I'm assuming you've been rejected after TC reviewed your logbook.....? There is more to it than just total time of 1500hrs "An applicant for the ATPL must hold a Group 1 Instrument Rating. 70% on the Transport Canada written examinations—two must be written. The first ex...
