Morningstar has a two-year bond on the Boeing. I'm not sure about the other types but I'm assuming there's on bond on those as well.

Hey there, I am interested in converting my license too, I have both the SAMRA and SARON complete, but not the hours for the license. Would I have to submit my ATPL before I am able to write the conversion exam. I have called multiple people and talked face to face with others, they all tell me to ...

In Canada flight crew are exempt from the mandatory quarantine. My understanding was that you are exempt while performing the duties which are deemed essential - flying the airplane - but in theory, when you get back from say... the US... you are supposed to in fact quarantine. I could be wrong, I ...

Where is the world do you work that requires you quarantine for 2 weeks after every single flight??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! What has this world come to. In June and July borders between states in Australia were closed (some still are and some just closed again). That's 14 days Quarantine crossing a stat...

It can be boiled down to this: If at the end of the day, your signature is NOT going in the logbook, then you are not the PIC. End of story. Do you mean personal logbook or Journey log? This isn't a thing in Canada as far as I can think. Personal (pilot) logbooks are only required to be signed by t...

Remember that as part of the conversion you're going to have to complete the ATP-CTP course. This course costs between $4000-$5000. It is a prerequisite for writing the ATP knowledge test. There's unfortunately no way around it.

Yep. That's correct. In order to utilize the PICUS program the candidate must have 150 hours of PIC. You may have to bite the bullet and buy the hours. At least it's only 7. I know guys who've had to buy a lot more than that.

Best of luck.

It can be boiled down to this: If at the end of the day, your signature is NOT going in the logbook, then you are not the PIC. End of story. The only exception to this is PICUS. Which, if you're hurting for PIC time for your ATPL, could help you. But you'll have to look into whether your company has...

So we know this: RWY 23's level of service is 600. However that's irrelevant because we only have the Ops Spec for RVR1200 take offs. This means that no matter what, we need RVR1200 for take off. Period. In addition, we need RVR1200 before we can even begin our taxi. So since the current RVR for run...

F-35 Pilot ejected and survived. The C-130 crash landed in a field but thankfully the entire crew got out with no injuries.

Can a C130 maintain flight with 2 engines out on the same wing if there is no other damage?

It should be able to maintain flight easily on two engines. The Dash 7 could and it was notoriously underpowered.

The term is 'moot point'.

Calling 911 because you had thoughts of self-harm is not in any way a criminal activity. I would be absolutely shocked if that had any bearing whatsoever on your ability to obtain a RAIC. You were 15. In my opinion a 15 year old calling 911 because of thoughts of self-harm shows maturity. The positi...

Well we only go to Mirabel. But we have an evening flight from Mirabel to Toronto (leaves around 9pm) and then an early morning flight from Toronto to Mirabel which leaves at 4:20am.

Correct. We have no jumpseat agreements with anyone. All commuting is done on company aircraft.

but because of the simple fact that not everyone can or wants (wanted) to flow through to the YYZ based, non-commutable, likely years for an upgrade 757 spot It's absolutely commutable. And right now we have guys upgrading into the left seat with two years at the company. When I was hired I was tol...

I can't speak for the seniority of the Mirabel base but I can tell you that we definitely have guys that commute on the Boeing side. We have a few guys who live in Alberta but are based in YYZ. It's doable. On the Boeing side at least.

I'm quite curious about this too. Our company is in an interesting position because the only sims we can use are in the US and I don't think we're going there any time soon. My PPC expires May 1st so the clock is ticking. Right now all of our initial and recurrent training has been suspended indefin...

When did it expire? If it was before the extension you're out of luck. If it was after, you're good.

First place goes to the Falcon 900 EASy II. Holy shit. Absolutely amazing airplane. Second place goes to the Dash 7. That thing was a fucking tank. Loved it!
