Re: Keystone Navajo Accident in Thompson
It's surprising they managed to start up, run up, taxi, take off, and fly for 3 minutes before the lines ran out of AvGas considering it is Lighter than JetA. Plus the wing broke off and all lines attached to the engine were severed yet no fire!!! I know JetA isn't as explosive as AvGas but lets hop...

Re: Hard Copy vs Electronic Logbooks
I have kept my paper logbook up until I got my ATPL. After that, I switched to electronic. What I do is provide both at interviews and have never had an issue.

Re: Keewatin Air LP - Pilots
Did anyone apply for the Lear posting they had at the beginning of the month? If yes, did you get called for an interview? How did it go?

Worst place to live. Horrible, just do the time you have to do and get out.

Re: Pilots, get your sleep. It's your responsibility!
As a medivac pilot myself, I can assure you I get way more than the minimum rest period off. The issue is not there. The issue comes into play when you have been oncall all day and get that 11pm call. I don't understand why a days and nights schedule doesn't get adopted or mandated by tc. I have wor...

Too Fat??? Well too Bad!!!
Well a couple points to mention; First there should be a max weight for a standard ticket, probably around 230 lbs. If you weigh more you pay per pound.

They Seem Good
Hey there, Just ignore Slowstream they guy seems to be too messed to be able to give and poitive advice. Anyway Sunwest has several planes from prop to jet. The pilots seem pleased with the company and don't appear to be bitter like Slowstream. If you can get in I wish you the best of luck. C U in T...
