Everyone was very very lucky.

I remember them accusing anyone who criticized this deal as being 'anti-Canadian'

They should have cancelled this 2 years ago.

So, just out of interest If you absolutely have to go into some trees (unlike this guy) what's the best plan? Controlled level flight into them at as slow a speed as possible? Cut the mixture/power and glide into them? Try and stall into them? They seem to have a fairly high survival rate as long as...

Arrrgh, executive give 18-47% increases for themselves, after the back-to-work legislation and losing money... there is a rot in our society

All the media in Canada is absolutely terrible, which is how the current government gets away with things that would have them swinging from the nearest lamppost (forgeries, massive corruption, bribery, voter suppression, muzzling of scientists) in my home country of the UK. CBC TV is included in th...

Thanks for the advice everyone!

If not, start your job search on Vancouver Island. That way you're not going to end up being that guy that talked about picking a Tim Horton's cup out of the garbage to get a refill in another thread about road trips looking for a job. This is horrifying... I have to go find that thread now! The le...

Hi there, I wasn't sure whether to put this in the 'Flight Training' forum or this one. I am currently 29 years old, in Ottawa with a full-time non-aviation job, about to complete my Commerical license with around 250 hours. In 6 months I am moving to Victoria (work transfer), where i aim to do some...

http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/12/joint-strike-fighter-13-flaws I thought you meant this article here from wired! Honestly I can't remember the last time I heard good news from the F-35 program, what a fantastically large waste of money (that isn't even suited for what we want out of a new fig...

Just got my green light from my 2nd interview, placed in VFR stream. Now I wait...

1st interview was march, 2nd was in April, got the green yesterday.

It's a paper sim version of a radar screen with contacts on travelling at different altitudes and speeds, and you have to answer questions on them.

It's a really new thing I think

Anyway, off topic, sorry.

Sorry, when were they trying to appease the other parties? Was it when they tried to remove the other parties funding? Or when they renamed the government to 'The Harper Governement' instead of 'The Government of Canada'. Or was it when they pushed through a bunch of bills that got blocked in the ho...

So it is currently already over twice the price originally quoted, doesn't come with any flippin engines anyway and isn't even fully in production yet. Not to mention of extremely questionable use for what we need it for. And all this awarded on a no-bid contract, good stuff. Honestly, if this Harpe...

I applied in September in Ottawa, had a W-Sim exam in October(as part of the trial for the new exam) then the rest of the tests in Feburary. Had first interview March, 2nd interview is at the end of this month in Toronto (which is where I would be based, being unilingual)

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/06/nyregion/06plane.html?hpw The pilot, Jason Maloney of Cornwall, N.Y., later told the police that he had gotten the idea from a television program called “Flying Wild Alaska” that depicted rough landings. […] He and his two passengers, Clarke Oler, 22, and Chelsea Pr...

When this is done can a Mod sticky it and move to the training forum? I've a feeling i'm going ot keep coming back here! This would be great You'll want to re-read the first couple paragraphs of the Nav chapter in your FTGU. It may as well be the intro to their highly anticipated sequel, From the G...

Had interview yesterday, checked today and greenlighted!

Now I guess I just have to wait and see!

Stick and Rudder is so great, I am in the middle of rereading it. Air Command Weather Manual is what I got recommended to me, haven't had a chance to pick it up yet though. http://www.aviationworld.net/default/air-command-weather-manual-2004-edition.html You have From the Ground Up of course? Will c...

Yes, I think it was mentioned at the testing session that the course would be in Toronto for English Ottawa people. I kinda wish I could work in BC (that's where I used to live) or up North but I guess I can talk that through in my interview

On another note, first interview is next week!

Just checked - and got the green light! Yeah! Just have to wait now and see if I get invited to interview.

I live smack-dab in the centre of Ottawa currently.

I am not bilingual and was invited to the Ottawa session on the 11th, just got to have my fingers crossed now!

As far as I understand though, the session was just for those who took part in the Sim test back in the Fall of 2010, so if you were not in that, you would not have been invited.

The problem is that for as long as I lived in England (from the 1980s up to 2006) there was never really any snowfall. One or two years we got maybe an inch, if that, but most years it either didn't snow at all or there was half a cm or so. However apparently in the last 2-3 years there has been a l...

If they do this I am going to grow a pencil-thin moustache, buy a monocle and apply to fly one.

I already have the accent down pat
