Re: seneca program/ eyesight/ tattoos

I saw a pilot with a major Canadian airline with a huge tat around his arm the other day, displaying it proudly with a short sleeve.

Re: The road trip and the wait.....

Dont go to Perimeter in YTH looking for a ground job. Its all done through HR in YWG. It would be a waste of a drive unless you planned on hitting Missinipi anyways, which is a good start gig from what ive heard. Main office may be in The Pas though

Re: Group 1 Ride coming up soon... Questions.

I had,

Whats the minimum visibility required to taxi at, YVR.

Approach Ban question.

Can we shot the RNAV STAR into Victoria today? No, because we didnt have the Flight director to follow the FMS, moving map, etc. In whatever car that is.

Then we hit the skies

I agree, were pilots. But if i were to just sit here, apply until i find a flying job, highly unlikely btw. It could l...

Re: Where should I apply to start working ramp?

Any company who would put a 250 hour pilot into a 1900, is doing a disservice to their passengers. Please supply the name of the company you use as an example.

Re: Guys list some nice airports in BC !!

Nelson is great, fun circuit. Castlegar, 15 min flight from Nelson, also entails a fun approach, terminal dining. Easy to hitch hike into town, i dont think there is a "pilot car" to use.
