I believe Porter's early connection program is open to everyone.

Re: Intentionally landing on public roads

Some of the best spray strips I've operated off of were roads. A little narrow, but this is why your instructors tell you to keep it on the centre line! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/CmjfVnjMY4oGBYwnGgBkGjhjOwjtydrIA0GN7p56bmY1Bn_cp_eKPwqpMRjVsj00YmbAUugLpNDRofuaqJZnfh5PuAANe0nyYZT9HY807ZfvwHLl-...

Re: Bose Proflight

I ended up getting the DC Pro-X, I tried that out in the Lear 45 on the way down to Florida yesterday and at least for me, I think was the better purchase. I think I'm sold on getting the Pro-X, but I've yet to try it on. I keep bouncing back and forth from Clarity Aloft vs Pro-X. Does the Pro-X mo...

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread

I’ve seen people with zero post secondary education get hired, That's a curious statement. Is that for recent OTS guys/gals? I've heard rumours that if you have 500 hours of 705 Captain experience the post secondary can be waved, but I find that really hard to believe. I've never heard of guys with...

Re: SARON / SAMRA Feedback

The rule of thumb is to double the altitude and minus 15. Thus for FL240, 24x2=48. 48-15=33. The temperature in the example is -38, thus ISA -5.

Hope that clears things up.

Re: The problem with minimum wage ground crews

Most spray operators have it right. If you want someone to wake up at god awful hours, work long tedious days in scorching heat in a loud, dry, dust filled environment, and then wash rinse repeat running on E until it rains -- you have to pay them accordingly. $20-25 an hour is not uncommon. Even as...

Re: Gear-Up: Engine shutdown?

Our QRH for the Q400 suggests a shutdown. The QRH doesn't lead you to that decision. The Gear Indicator Malfunction checklist is pretty short and sweet and is hoping for a good outcome. If you still have one of the landing gear up, or all of them up as the original scenario suggests -- Bombardier i...

Averaging 7 legs? That's a heck of a lot of work, if that's the average. What is the max number of legs in a day at Jazz?

I'm liking the idea simply because you can use the headset for deadheads, and even the long commute into work. Might end up getting one, one of these days.

Re: Got my first flying job

Congrats!

I had a similar experience meeting with an operator many years ago. I would pop in, shoot the shit, and help out around the hanger a few times leading up before my application.

Best of luck with your exciting career! Enjoy the ride and stay safe!
