Re: Female Edmonton Centre controllers do Calender
I said, "great calendar by the way" after she cleared us en route, she didn't sound too impressed and said, "I didn't know they were available to the public yet." Was it something I said?!

Re: First Air - reduces Edmonton flights, adds YVQ

Re: Low vis procedures-What did these guys do wrong?
This being said, ATC will not stop any aircraft from taxiing or initiating taxi when visibility drops - they will advise you of the conditions and ask for your intentions. If you taxi, land, take-off below minimas they will not stop you - but they can report you. This is when you ask ATC, "If I tax...

Re: Sunwest Aviation Navajo F/O's
Go up north, with the industry the way it is now, you will be put on a turbine right away and you don't have to sign a bond at most places. My previous company alone put 4 guys fresh outta school on the be20 within a year and they only have 2!!!

Re: King Air 200 F/O
I started flying the 200 with 300 hours and no IATRA. So no, you don't need it. It is high performance but it is a single pilot aircraft.

I'd say you get about 800-900 hours a year. FO's don't rotate. Pretty much on call 24-7.

The fact of the matter is - all applications are handled online at AC and the human coefficient has been removed (mostly). There are no paper applications to move to the top of the pile anymore. Your application is graded on a point basis - those with the highest points get the phone calls. I'm not...
