Re: Todays flow in Winnipeg Terminal=wow!

PUSSY'S your Fucking kidding me right. The fucking kids you have staffing the embarrassment you call a TCA, do me a favor and revert to a FSS as I personally maintain a better separation and yet realize operational awareness far better than the jokes you call controllers (Jericho not included).

Re: DELL, GATEWAY IN BED WITH THE RIAA

It's a good thing both Dell and Gateway computers are utter shit. Maybe one of these days, the general public will figure that part out, too. Can't begin to count how many times I heard, during my one year working tech support, people state "oh, my computer had a virus, so I picked up a new one". Du...

Re: Should Canada have a file sharing law like the US?

To sum up my answer to the question: Absolutely not. The American DMCA tries to take some things into account, such as providing a 'fair use' clause, but even that seems to be ignored more and more down there. If you read the fine print on the proposed 'Canadian DMCA' (read: this law being tabled), ...

Re: Color

I also did the Farnsworth. It's just a little box with two holes cut in it and a moveable lens to change the colors, and you identify which colors are showing, I think you do ten sets of lights (at least that's what I remember). Tons easier than the Ishihara test...my color blindness lies in blue vs...

Re: Yet annother jerk off of an officer

My take on this: He might have needed a bit of an attitude adjustment, but a uniformed officer pushing him down, and then pushing him down AGAIN (pretty forcefully, too) when he tries to get up is a little much. My father happens to be with the RCMP (not an officer, mind you), so I have nothing at a...

Re: No VFR Service In YYZ TRSA

They did this last summer in YWG as well. No VFR within the YWG TRSA. Interesting to see all the VFR multi-engine training flights departing at 2500 (undercutting terminal airspace) to 35DME, then popping up, doing their thing and coming back down to 2500.

Must've cost a few students a bit extra.

Well, how's the road? Paved? Power lines? Trees?

If either of the latter two, I'll take the field, thank you. If not, the road. Either way, the chute's staying nice and packed away - I'm too cheap to pay for another one :smt040

I don't know how much has changed or stayed the same but I know they did an interview with pretty straight forward questions- nothing technical as far as I know. Then they did a basic sim eval. Hold, approach possibly an engine failure in there. I'm pretty sure the sim eval has been scrapped this t...

Interview Tips?

So I've managed to get an interview next week with Perimeter (after working a bit of time on the ground, of course), and as it's my first interview for a flying job, I figured I'd hunt around here for interview tips from some of the more experienced guys. Anything's appreciated...fire away 8)

Re: BA 777 shortfield landing at Heathrow

Perhaps a problem with the engine control units/fly-by-wire computers? Aren't those engines FADEC-controlled?

A central fault somewhere may have screwed something up.

Kinda interesting how you can actually hear the Fedex jet take off from UAL1448's transmission - you can hear the engine noise in the background.
