Re: Anthony, 8 years old, from Quebec. A future Sunwing pil

An early trip to the flight deck stirred my interest to enter, enjoy and succeed in this industry, not as a pilot however but none the less it supplemented my compassion. I'm thankful to hear that in this continued state of aviation fear flight crews are allowing an "open house" to the cockpit when ...

I was out there the other day. Looks like they're still in operation with a few aircraft in the hangar.
Heard a rumour that they're adding another hangar also.

Re: My experience with the TSA

How have things changed? Is it now safer to fly given all of these added security measures?
Have the CATSA/TSA really deflected a significant number of potential threats?
I've rarely ever heard of them if they have.

Re: My experience with the TSA

My last few encounters with both CATSA and the TSA have also been a breeze.

I never really believed in these exams but they have to be taken and passed before one can move on as a qualified AME. It's the law!! They are available online, www.tc.gc.ca/c...
