Sunwing Direct Entry Captain during high season?

Hello,

I was wondering if Sunwing was hiring DEC during the winter time only.

Or is the only option to apply through a European operator?

Thank you

Re: Flight Instructors (job-career?) - why so negative?

very simple: you work very hard for very little money. After 10 year as an Class One FI and examiner you wouldn't do much more than 40-50K /year (correct me if I am wrong) while after 10 years in the airline world you could do 200K+ /year as a 737 skipper, sipping coffee and eating hot meal doing st...

His line was "nothing but fear and common sense could hold us back: what could possibly go wrong?"

Re: Technical question for Embaer pilots

Thank you,

I believe that what created some confusion is this note on AOM 14-08-05 Page 16

NOTE: For SLAT/FLAP/SPDBRK position 0 the legend and arrows will be removed from the display as presented below:

Re: Technical question for Embaer pilots

Thank you Rockie,

This is exactly what I expected to hear.
By any chance, have you seen any supporting document for this change or was this only oral?

Cheers.

Re: Technical question for Embaer pilots

Thank you for your inputs,

To simplify my question:

-When do you consider that your Slat/flat are fully retracted?

We are told to wait for the Slat symbol to disappear.

Technical question for Embaer pilots

Hello guys, I'd need some clarification from experienced E-170/190 drivers: Our operation is new with the E-jet and there is some confusion regarding when to call for "FLAPS ZERO" after take-off: Flight safety trained us to wait for the SLAT symbol to disappear before calling "FLAPS ZERO" . but the ...

Re: Who's offering the best benefit package in Manitoba?

Stinson, most of the health expenses are covered by the government but not the dental expenses and some emergency services...
So it is still a better service than in the US...

Good to see a Bush operator like Missinipi taking care of his people
