Maybe the "Big Announcement" is a Scent Free Workplace.

A State Operator or Government Air Service as applicable is not a business in pursuit of an income or profit by operating the aircraft. Any money that changes hands is simply between government agencies for cost recovery. Patients are not charged for the transport, the taxpayer is. Employees of othe...

704 requires jets of any size to demonstrate landings within 60% of available LDA before dispatch, accounting for all conditions present etc. 604 and its equivalent in the US, FAR part 91, requires landings within the LDA. The AFM will require further factoring for gravel, wet, or contamination, so ...

digits There is no 604 "loophole". The jet meets Transport Category performance requirements for every departure, gravel or pavement wet or dry, one engine inoperative. If it can't, the trip is a no go. Regarding Winnipeg-Churchill, the time advantage over turbo props is nearly one hour one way, tha...

Digits, the response time from Winnipeg is a necessary metric for critical care trips because all of the doctors and neonatal teams etc. are based there where the big hospitals are. Any aircraft repositioning to Winnipeg would only add to the delays before taking the medical expertise to the communi...

The jet in the RFP is for "out of province work". The loss of jet service will be "in the province" due to the inability to dispatch a jet to short runways under CAR 704 requirements. That's a loss of service for the province.

I'm wondering how the current level of performance and safety can be maintained, as thegovernment claims, if the jet service is lost? (Considering critical care trips)

M'Kay, I need those TPS reports this afternoon.

I'm looking for an FO who can "Angle the deflector shields while I make the calculations for the jump to hyperspace." You seem qualified for that. Are you interested?

Privatization is rarely about costs, although the idea is sold to the public more easily if they believe that.

Heavy maintenance in house.

To be brief and to the point: 1) Interviewer was very welcoming, to the point, informal in a formal way. A positive experience. 2) The video interview is a half decent tutorial for the face to face interview. 3) Psych test is a real gem. 4) After close to 25 years in the industry, no matter what hap...

I read works by Noam Chomsky, Carl Sagan, Peter D Ward, and Tony Kern to name a few. The Economist was productive reading for a business newspaper. Keep the mind working and stereotypes challenged. BTW, if you have a degree, don't include it on your resume for entry level jobs in this business, it'l...

I mean, he will be missed.

A Brief History of Time was the first book I read in my post University life. It is funny that the one of the most brilliant and notable physicists in history would take the time and effort summarize the universe in "layman 's" terms for all to understand, much like Carl Sagan. I remember Stephen Ha...

I'm not sure which is worse, this or the $58,000 posted on the other thread for the Skyservice Medevac Lear Captain.

Honestly, are you tax exempt for doing humanitarian work? If not, this is $60,000 underpaid.

That's only $60,000 below what it should be to start.

Canjet paid their new Captains $85,000 fifteen years ago, it was bad then, $90,000 is terrible now with the cost of living in those cities.

There is no shortage at that level of the industry.

Also, it's possible in that weather with a long runway, the crew might keep 1/2 flap configuration to touchdown and use around 4000 feet.

Plan to "scrape the paint". 400 or 35' over the limiting obstacle, net. Any higher is wasteful. Extra safety costs money. Have you ever looked down from a 35' diving board? Too high for me.

It's not a real shortage until wages come up. This hasn't happened in Canada in any meaningful way. It's just less time in the right seat. If employers can still find suitable applicants, pay can increase just under the cost of living in the locations of the opportunities. I see a lot more job ads, ...

We get lots of info regarding pay. "Industry leading pay" and "Competitive wages" comes to mind, also there's the old chestnut "As per company pay scale", what more do you want? Jeeze!

I thought you meant Space Shuttle drivers! Do they need tips?
