Good catch, if that's the case it's a massive change. Would need clarification, but based on what I've heard it's just any type rating/PPC. This would make a TC ATPL much harder to get than even the FAAs dreaded 1500 HR rule. Also, keep in mind that per (6) they will still issue the ATPL license bu...

You would presume wrong. In reality it's a very busy machine processing near real time data from close to a thousand locations scattered around North America, doing preliminary analysis on that data as it arrives I know most here are somewhat unaware of how fast this part of the industry is progres...

Ok. So we can find a few small examples, of presumably low load computing, that is reliable for a couple of years. I presume it is doing a routine task repeatedly? You would presume wrong.

Have you ever had a phone or computer that hasn't crashed or glitched, probably weekly, ever? As a matter of fact, yes, I have. I was looking at one of the machines in the data center that just sits there endlessly processing data, it sent me an alert this morning about potential update requirement...

My Came, union and insurance provider have quoted me 9-18 months at least. People have gone off for simple issues that are quickly resolved after a Few months and they’re still off 6+- 12 months later. There’s several avenues: 1) Call your CAME 2) Call your RAMO( TC claims they will get back to you...

Wish I knew!

Did you do the hireview and other stages of the process then?

Affirm. Successful on the hirevue, booked for the interview proper in a few weeks.

How was that? I have a few friends expecting it any day now.

Haha, I’m not sure you can just walk in. When I was there last year for the recruiting event they had security and you couldn’t get past the lobby. Maybe they’d let you in if you explained nicely why? Not sure. But attending the recruiting open houses they hold regularly would effectively be the sa...

There are no open postings. So what exactly are you applying for? Oh thank god! Someone else gets it. That’s what I kept asking this captain dusty roads here. He is saying his friends applied to encore in January, without a job posting for FO on careers page. They did! You can apply to Westjet with...

On the Westjet Careers website. I get they go to the careers website but after Dec 31 2025 there was no posting on that site to apply for an encore FO position. Which is why I’m asking how the people you know applied in January 2026. Forget it… I give up lol They applied on the westjet careers webs...

Did you see my comment above? He is a contract pilot who flies 441.

Do you think management will backtrack the seat pitch decision after the public backlash or will their egos prevent them from admitting that they made a mistake? I can't think of many backtracks. I can think of lots of stubborn decisions held by businesses over the years. Plus, what have they got t...

Autoland will permeate all GA sectors, though. It’s too good of an idea not to. CAPS comes with a performance penalty and becomes increasingly impractical with a larger aircraft which is why it’s pretty much limited to Cirrus and a few smaller planes. Ill say this again. CAPS (Cirrus Airframe Paric...

Pretty consistent with everything I’ve seen - thanks! I’ve probably over researched at this point. The anxiety just comes from having not done any kind of job interview in 25yrs. I’m sure I’ll look back on it wondering why I was so stressed. Better than looking back wishing I’d prepared better… The...

Nah, they ain’t doing that. They need bodies. They review what you click accept to. Paranoia is everywhere these days. My advice: come up with situations or experiences in your flying career that are memorable. Good and bad. Explain the situation, how you reacted or dealt with it, and what you lear...

I just got a hirevue invite. This will be my first job interview in 25 years! I have searched and found several previous posts on what kind of questions to expect, but I am curious about one thing: It says I have the opportunity to rehearse my answers as many times as I want. Can anyone who's done ...

Will the ADSB in and out capability be mandatory in northern Canada (NWT) in 2028 or earlier for small float plane? ADSB OUT only be ok? I hear different verdicts....

Cheers

Where are you seeing adsb in is mandatory anywhere?

WJ did but I highly doubt encore stopped upgrading. They don’t even have the captains to staff the current flying I've seen the emails. They stopped everything as I described. The already planned flows and upgrades for Feb and March are cancelled for both Encore and mainline. What’s the rationale b...

Morning folks and sorry for joining this thread so late… I want to install a new transponder in our 180 and I now see this debate about adsb. There are some decent deals on adsb OUT only transponder but before I go ahead with that, I am hearing that by 2028, transponders with the diversity option w...

Mine went from “application received” to “under review” within a couple days of submitting. Not sure if “in progress” comes before or after that… I have tons of time so not stressing yet, though this is the first job I’ve applied for in over 25yrs, so I have no idea what to expect! What does it say...

Why did these doctors not train in Canada? Seems a no brainer that if you want to live and work in Canada that as a Canadian you’d get your training here.
