CAE YYZ has three 737MAX simulators. Two on the Air Canada side and one on the other side that Sunwing will have exclusive rights to. I've flown the NG and the MAX. The first time I flew the MAX was the day after I did my MAX differences ground school. I flew it with another first timer. It was an e...

Passing grade for your online participation.

Strange times or expected? Are humans complacent? Are we moving to fast? Are we ungreateful? Are we greedy? Is the balance of power in the world about to change? Are we a reactive or proactive society/country? Are we a me or us society? Did we ignore the scientists that warned us that this sort of p...

Definitely go the airlines route at that age. Get on with jazz, Porter or whoever. Build you hours quick and upgrade when you meet the requirements to have that confidence as a captain. Apply to AC and keep updating your profile. Get that seniority number as soon as possible. You'll be living large ...

Quick question. TS A321. CATI ILS on a runway with HIALS but no CL. What is the minimum RVR required to fly the approach and attempt a landing? What airport? And was it a c- registration? At my company ops spec 75 allows us 3/8sm 1600RVR (=1/2sm 2600RVR) Canada. And our U.S. Foreign Ops Spec allows...

A mix of everyone including a hand full of cadets. From what I've seen, King Air captains to expats coming home and a few military guys.

How is it to work for Sunwing as an AME? We the pilots were told we are short AMEs and are having a hard time finding people because less people are interested in the industry. As an AME, what are the rankings for most desirable companies to work for in the Toronto and surrounding areas including Ha...

The company already made the decision to not use them during the winter season regardless of the approval status. But who knows maybe they will find random jobs for them or use them as sparse.

There is TVS pilots in winter 2019/20, flying C-REG with License Validation and Work Permit for Sunwing ?? No. That ended a while ago. They on fly Czech registered aircraft. C-reg TVS aircraft are flown by Sunwing pilots only on a dry lease agreement. Are those dry-lease aircraft still being flown ...

No. That ended a while ago. They on fly Czech registered aircraft. C-reg TVS aircraft are flown by Sunwing pilots only on a dry lease agreement.

The application window is open again for early 2020 classes.

Go to mainline and establish seniority on the most junior aircraft. Stay senior on the most junior aircraft. If you enjoy regional airline type flying, fly the E190 or A220. The regional airline world is cutthroat. Air Canada is ten times more secure than Jazz, Encore, Sky Regional, and Georgian. Ja...

Everyone stop your whining and complaining. Go through security and act professional and stop being a bunch of cry babies. Just because you're a pilot with a security clearance doesn't mean you're not capable of smuggling in weapons to give it to someone else. That's why we get randomly selected. T...

I've done both. The United States is better. Better pay in USD and cheaper to live. Quicker upgrade times. Larger companies. Commuting across Canada is not different than commuting to some far away base in the US. After you build you hours go to whatever major takes you first (including AC) unless y...

I would venture a guess that SW is still expanding, short on airplanes due to the winter program not including the Max, and went to the lowest bidder. Too bad it’s to a B scale company. This is expansion to test a new markets where demand is not yet gauged. Sunwing has used Mexican ULCAs in the pas...

Sunwings CP to be the next VP of Swoop?

.

Yea - the 340 is there to clean up the mess that is Eastern airlines. I wouldn't write off the winter season because of the Max. They will probably be flying by the end of the year, there would only be 5 or 6 in the fleet then anyways - and with such a small number - when they are cleared to fly ag...
