People who didn't wait will move ahead of you from NB FO into RP positions, as is already happening.

Why do the PIT classes have 737 short and long courses offered? The short course is for 737 type rated pilots and shaves around 2 weeks of training. Less training means cheaper cost of a new hire. Obviously not everyone joins with a 737 type rating and thus the long course is for those guys If no o...

It looks they are making it illegal for HR to treat people like this.

The NTSB is now reporting the helicopter pilot was flying 80-100 feet above their maximum altitude of 200 feet.

Complex systems won't survive the competence crisis. We need to start getting paid for delays as the majority of them occur before pushback. It's only going to get more and more common.

Okay let's do that then. If there is no change to the T4 the company won't have any problem with it right?

I'm glad you're okay Jake.

Well that settles it guys.

I believe the mistake theory is possible, for one switch. After you flipped the first one to cutoff you would realize what you just did.

Go ahead and impoverish the country then. I will just move to Alberta and leave with them.

Are we sure the person that moved the switches to cutoff is the same person that moved them back to run? The FO could have noticed the Captain had moved them to cutoff, asked him why he did that, and then the FO could have been the one to move them back to run.

It's sad that I thought this was going to be about the other Delta pilot that recently got arrested for being intoxicated.

There would be less incentive to get the cabin secured and ready for pushback on time if they were paid by the at-work hour. That could be a real issue and frequently occurs with employees who aren't under direct manager supervision. It could lead to conflict with the pilots too, who are anxious to ...

Some of them might actually be making less than minimum wage under the current system.

cnpc, I often see this argument that no one should speculate about accidents on the accidents forum but I struggle to understand it. I would suggest avoiding the forum if the speculation bothers you. I assure you that your '1 in a million chance' is the leading theory amongst airline pilots.

I hope OP wasn't the one that died in the survey Navajo in Newfoundland yesterday.

It absolutely should be.

It's interesting to me that in both the Air India and MH370 cases the pilots took actions to cover up the fact that it was a suicide/mass murder. The Air India Captain, having much less system knowledge, took actions to make sure the fuel control switches would be found in the run position. The Mala...

Sadly they are reporting at least one deceased. It seems like it was owned by an Aerial Survey company from Delta, BC.

The media is reporting it as a Navajo. They are often wrong so I apologize if the aircraft type isn't correct.

They're working 8 days on, 1 day off to do that. Pretty sure flight crews don't work that many hours. There were Rouge pilots making over $400k years ago but they also had to work pretty hard for it. If the Tower controllers making that much money are the same people training the new staff I can se...

Indeed. It's legal to be topless in the terminal

Take it up after the fact. This 'I'm not leaving my seat' thing never works out for them.

Holy crap. They make bank.
