Hahahahahaha….busted!

Airspeed250: Surely you can't be serious (!) If you think that's a decent wage for that type of work, then do us all a favour and stay away from the business…it's not enough by a TON! More is always better of course, ( try to think like a pilot who works for a living here please…) and a future is wh...

Ummm…say all again after: "What are we talking about here…" Over...

Yes it would…I should have been more clear I guess…I'm talking about fuel.

How about ice or water (or any other) contamination? That would make the dual flameout seem plausible, and that would explain the problem.

Did that PR say 2021? How exciting I must say...

To which counterparts are you referring to? If, by chance, you refer to Emirates, in the race to the "who has a better Business or First Class" there isn't much in it! EK is falling fast and the employee groups are getting close to exhaustion due to a very busy roster. Whole bunches of cabin crew fl...

What Diadem said! Finally it makes some sense to me, so a thank you for that! After 30 years in Canadian aviation and another 10 offshore, I thought it would be a great idea when the first bit of thinking surfaced about a "College." The understanding of what this college would do and how they would ...

800…including a large number of Direct Entry Captains…777…787…380…320 and possibly some 747-800 freighters…about 120 pilots from Alitalia rumoured to be included in that number (part of the purchase deal made) The training department will certainly have their hands full with those numbers. The websi...

Whoa, easy there pal. Did I say anything bad about the University thing? Nope…just asking is all. SO please wind your neck back in? Thanks…
GRK

When did the UNIVERSITY requirement show up? I don't ever recall that one being in there?

Aerosex,

Sheesh, what a grouch! But I guess if you said it, we all should believe you. No break given…

Aerosex…

You have two guys who clearly recall not flying any G reg aircraft…maybe not enough for you, but please tell up where you get your info on wet leases during that time? It's proof he's looking for, not hearsay...

You mean like "The Harper Government" does now right? Just sayin'...

JIB, Just a small point…yes we may all be, from time to time, a little complacent at work. The battle has been ongoing for years to combat that very thing. Is it not almost always true that in situations like these, (JB) our training is said to take over? There are dozens of interviews out there all...

You sure about that?
I'm actually at a loss here…

Dear Jack, Partially true, but in your example it has to be obvious to the cabin crew that they need to initiate. Uncontrollable fire, fuselage break up, no response or command from the flight deck after an overrun or rejected takeoff being a few of the most imperative. Asiana is the perfect example...

OK, so now that the media has been supplied with more fodder and the boys up front did actually call for a Evac, it does change the picture somewhat. At the risk, however slight, that we are arm chairing this a bit, I would caution that any evacuation must be thought all the way through carefully, a...

You beat me to it…seems that there might not be much communication between the two parties. I wonder If JB has any sort of a decision making model they use in situations like this? FORDEC or NITES and the like. To shout brace in this kind of situation is a little overboard. Maybe the JB cabin crew d...

So now we have JB passengers opening emergency exits on their own and evacuating without any command? I wonder if the engine was still running? My good friend who works for JB said that the Cabin Crew feel they are in command of the passenger cabin and have blown slides after a return for a problem ...

No pilot worth his/her salt needs to treat any aircraft so poorly that they risk damage. Period. Even if you're late and trying to catch up… It's just wrong and shows p*ss poor judgement.
Fly Safe
GRK

What he said…but I seem to recall we were allowed to use TC duty regs for a while, so some got the sh*tty end of the stick and flew long nights when the UK boys n girls were safe and warm in the pub. That changed I think after a year or so, and the wet leases became quite nice flying! The Air 2000 a...

Ilya, Although you might just possibly be trying to make it sound easy about what is required for a right seat check, I'm pretty sure there's a little more to it than just a circuit. Where I work we are all RHS qualified (We don't have any FO's due to the type of work we do.) The criteria is a minim...
