Boats are not prohibited from this area. They are only restricted to 5 knots. Go to Vancouver and watch them, boats are there all the time. Perhaps they should carve out a boat lane like they do in Victoria Harbour, but there is no such thing in Vancouver Harbour. They have their own lane..... it's...

It's marked on some publications like that, not all of the larger hydrographic surveys though.. but either way is it an exclusion zone or cautionary / advisory area. I think the latter. "Stay clear of aircraft." It doesn't appear well marked in the harbour itself. But I'm having a hard time reconci...

Attachment is a screenshot of a marine chart app for Android. It shows the seaplane take off and landing area. Small vessels needing to access Coal Harbour are to go east and south of the area. Not all do. I doubt many small speed boats...and especially rental ones....have marine charts on board, no...

It is public. https://www.ksvadvisory.com/experience/case/skylink Essentially, TD Bank is owed about $14,000,000 out of a $15,000,000 kind of operating line of credit and they wanted to put ...

Why not divert to nearby YYJ, with long wide runways, fire rescue, maintenance? Did everything work normally after the strike? They departed CYYJ and returned to CYYJ. No it didn't. It departed Vancouver Harbour at 0911 bound for Victoria Harbour, and neither one of those is YYJ. 4000' is the IFR a...

It seems the pilots at Morningstar finally have a new contract. It is an arbitrated contract after ALPA and the company couldn't reach an agreement following over a year of negotiations. The big takeaways are significantly improved pay scales, perdiem, overtime and training credits. Along with othe...

As has been posted elsewhere, you have to add $12k to each of those figures for "retention bonus" under an LOU. So circa $51.9k plus $12k will be starting. Not huge, but, again, it does go up every year. Assumes hired before new contract drops.

Second year would be roughly 67 plus per diems, third year about 71, and so on for the term of the collective agreement. That continuous increase combined with the working conditions is why there's seldom any vacancies.

Actually it would be 64 plus.

I’m surprised it’s that low for single pilot IFR. Hard to live off that in yvr too. Be better off driving a caravan on floats at Seair Per diems add about $5000 per year, $500 per year for uniform dry cleaning, and salary goes up about $3500 to $4000 each year. You will however be paying about $100...

I doubt the problem here was the lack of having an AOC...

[/quote]

The company had the 604 equivalent of an AOC...a POC issued by the then CBAA. That - and the fact this pilot held a CPL instead of the OP's PPL - is not the point.

We would also want to fly employees to get to job sites and/or meetings as well. Here's an engineering company that had a plane and flew employees to meetings.Except this employee had a CPL (and was an executive in the company). I wonder if the employee-passengers felt compelled to fly in what was ...

"mold therm".... Or you can take an experienced laid off pilot who is willing to stay for two years and have two years of no headaches. If I was a CP I know what I'd prefer. And it's not a green pilot with no experience that needs to be monitored all the time. Topic creep happening: They're looking...

I can certainly see how on one hand they don't want to invest their time in someone who will leave as soon as they are recalled back to AC or WS, but do they not realize that the same thing will happen to 704/705 lite captains who will go back to wherever they were making good $$$ prior? While a jo...

I have a few questions for current employees. When did Morningstar move their ATR to YYC? Is this new? Are they moving Boeing flying to the ATR or picked up new routes for it? Also, are they moving the YMX airplane out west, or picked up another one? Lastly, what is the current pay scale on the ATR...

A question I've always had, sort of on topic, is why the Morningstar C208s don't conduct RNAV approaches in places like YSB and YYB. Not RNAV capable? I don’t know much about Morningstar but I don’t believe Skylink or Flightcraft have RNAV either. Each of those airports has an ILS and usually the n...

Yeah, CAP3000

can you clarify what you mean by 'lost'?

16'! and gusting 102, holly cow! Langara looks tropical in comparison.

Dagwood you missed the rather fundamental issue of not driving while gooned up, regardless of what you're wearing. A pilot should never ever be in this situation - we are supposed to have better judgement than most.
