I work for the sister company and while it may be “one country, two systems” the cheques still come from the same place. I’ll share my insights. Like at every other place I’ve worked... I’ve never had a safety decision questioned. I’ve been stranded in the middle of nowhere with a broken airplane an...

If you displease The Boss, The boss will make you fly a real POS for a week.

Woohoo... no more throwing bags and cleaning shitters!

If you have to explain the joke.... it isn’t funny.

I already answered your question. It did not benefit Israel. You’re starting with a premise that Israel wanted this to happen and are trying to make the pieces fit. Yeah, Israel and Iraq weren’t exactly friends but it’s all about the devil you know. Iraq was strategically and militarily impotent in ...

What’s bad about the reporting? They are reporting what the pilot said verbatim. That isn’t a wing tip. It’s got a fuel cap on it. It had a flight control attached to it. If anything it’s the pilot who’s bad, not the reporter. Bad for flying into fog. Bad for not knowing how his plane flies. Or shou...

The stab doesn’t just trim the stabilizer. It also trims the elevators via the feel and centering unit and the PCUs. So nose down, you have to overcome a lot more spring pressure than when it’s neutral... and have to deflect the elevator much more relative the to neutral set by the feel and centerin...

So... it really wasn’t fuel tanks full of air that caused two PT6s to fail simultaneously?

She must be using an alias and wearing a wig.

Clearly, her name is Karen.... and she wants to speak to the Operations Manager.

It doesn't.

In fact, our TC POI specifically told us to use that method. Never was called on it once.

Because there are literally tens of thousands of aircraft flying that don’t have a MMEL.

I watched on youtube... Yes, we can all find lovely videos on YouTube full of junk science. ...so they moved engine little bit higher than the wing causing nose move upward during take off... This isn't even physically possible. Raising the engine alone, could only cause the nose to move *down* wit...

I'm 40 and I make over 80k flying a medivac King Air. Best part is it's all days in a well serviced but relatively inexpensive BC town. You have a couple of challenges ahead of you. No debt is good, but no cash might be a bit of a problem because in order for your training to go quickly and be effec...

??? They flew the plane into the ground, and it was "systemic failures"?? Get a grip. They did blame the pilots. There were also other factors in the crash. What the hell do you want? A one page report that says: THE PILOTS DID IT!!! 50 lashes with a wet noodle? Lifetime ban from flying? An inscrip...

And you’re on the D scale. Paying for a HK pad out of your own pocket and hoping the town doesn’t implode. Go put your want ad for shared accommodation on the bulletin board next to the one from the A scale captain selling his 1.2 million dollar warbird. That was the story I got from a former CX A35...

The 337 I flew you couldn’t hear the horn over the engines.

I never forgot the gear.

I still think there are companies out there that insist on sticking to their minimums no matter what, and as a result the positions go unfilled for weeks and weeks. Who says these positions are going unfilled? Lots of it is a high rate of attrition and creating a pool of suitable candidates. It’s n...

Don’t forget the Indians.

Like I said, hyperbole.

Stop looking for validation here and either do what’s required or stop whining. The very fact that it’s a question tells me that it’s not serious.

There but for the grace of god go I. Kind of like how I’ve survived 10 ‘destructions’ of our country so far and will surely survive another one this October, the number of times I’ve heard of pilots who shouldn’t fly and been told so myself are almost beyond hyperbole. It takes a lot to screw up in...

You calm down.

Would they not move the approaches over to the RCAP so approved carriers , such as Orange, could continue to operate IFR. I don’t think that’s how it works. RCAP approaches allow for lower minimums for two crew ops spec due to the extra training and redundancy of two crew aircraft (like pilot monit...

Pretty good.

I always do what the STAR says and ATC tells me. I dont really care about 200 knots unless I reach the end of a STAR or start getting close to an intercept. It is also possible to have a profile that puts you well above 3000AAE at ROTRU, and 3000AAE is almost right on a three degree profile there. (...

Word is they are still in YTH waiting for a seat.

Oh, I'd also like to point out that if Maverick is retiring as a Captain in the USN, that's not half bad - those guys have major commands like carriers, air wings, cruisers, that sort of stuff. I'm not military or ex-military myself, but I'm pretty certain a Captain in the USN is not doing major co...
