Re: Devastating

Thread locked. While I have sympathy for those who are evacuated/ing, this is not at all aviation related.

Re: CL215 Crash Greece - july 2023

I was always taught that a straight/level run was the goal - ‘dive-bombing’ to be strictly avoided, but it also looks like that was happening here? Little difficult to get perspective on the terrain, though…

Why seemingly nothing is being done to mitigate this is a mystery.
Maybe head office just doesn't have any ideas other than to hold on, and let 'er buck?

Re: Is losing your medical common?

At age 25, straight out of Uni/College, no, not common; at 55, after 30 years of poor sleep patterns, crappy meals, and less-than-optimal exercise routines, then it becomes more of a real worry. 'Course by then, your degree is 30 years out-of-date!

Re: Who is the BC Medevac contract going to?

The new contract calls for 10+ new aeroplanes - obviously those can't all be delivered at once, so the plan is, (AFAIK) as the new planes come from the factory, to slowly retire the older machines in favour of the new ones. The Citations will eventually be retired from the BCAS contract, but that wi...

Re: Sky regional 2.0

As a Jazz employee what do you do? Flow through has become a meme, your contract length is embarrassing (no strike or lockout action until 2035), pay is lowest in the industry, now you're losing your flying because of a "bridging clause". Could one of the legal types on here (JBI? Bede?) explain, i...

There are flying jobs for them after 3-500 hours, and some even right after 100. Contrails and other external auditing companies have some jobs minimum 2500-3000 hours. There are definitely gigs for them out there cherry and vineyard drying, flying news 44s, flying crew change machines etc. It all ...

Re: Liberal Regulations Hampering Efforts to Fight Alberta Wildfires

^^Tell me that the reporter has never flown fires, or ever talked to anyone who's done it, without actually telling me. It’s rather arbitrary because the work is about the same from the perspective of the pilot. Now, though, pilots who have a few hours left in their shift after waterbucketing all da...
