Just for the record, I wasn't the censor! I suspect that the originator of the term "Airman" didn't intend to imply anything with the suffix ~man - it was simply common usage at the time. Also, as there have been women involved with aviation since pretty much the get-go, I'm sure that they were quit...

So I was thinking about this while I was on a layover at a smaller airport yesterday. I'm not subject to the CATSA rigmarole at my present position, so we parked on the ramp, and marched through the locking gate in the fence next to the FSS, and then around the front of the terminal and through the ...

Apply to both, and see who calls you first? There's no guarantee that either of them will...

According to The Guardian, talks fell through at 2100 BST this evening, and so they're done...largest peacetime repatriation in British history. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2019/sep/22/thomas-cook-in-last-ditch-talks-to-avoid-collapse Thomas Cook was heading into insolvency on Sunday night ...

Wow, some touchy people in here!

I read the query as beiing more out of interest, along the lines of: "do regular crews bid 'election special' for a three day pairing," rather than: " is pilot X going to be staying in room y at the CY__ Holiday Inn on Sunday October 17th?"

Can someone please explain this for those of us not in the know?

Is WB FO a lousy job? Or are you at the botl, and have a crappy schedule? Why would it be so bad on flat pay? Four years from now you and your peers will go to formula, and everyone's equal again, no?

Not so sure that I'd be in a hurry to press the 'Test' button for any system that was displaying an abnormality...but then, I might be Monday morning quarterbacking..

That's gold - could be a story in its own right.

Anybody know what happened to the filmmakers?

One is sitting pretty happy in the left seat at WJ, another became the CP at a southern airline. I believe that 'the lurker' himself is based in YVR now...

Levity aside, I'm glad that all are ok. There's been too many that haven't recently...

Sorry, but...what is PFO?

Please

Slang for getting turned down at your choice of employer.

I'm surprised, being NASCAR and all, that they didn't go off the left side of the runway...

CEO sacked. State pressure cranked up on the airline. Reportedly pilots are being fired for being seen on the wrong side of the issue . https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.hongkongfp.com/2019/08/16/cathay-pacific-ceo-rupert-hogg-resigns-amid-hong-kong-protest-row-august...

OK, this is starting well! You can all practice being a wingman until the pattern is full...then it gets dangerous.

I thought about it a fair bit, and I'm sure that you could make a decent argument to most Profs or TAs that you've got a career to take care of early in the season, and could you work around that. Might require a bit of extra work on your behalf to get stuff done early, though.
Good Luck!

Standard contracts are ~ 120 days. I believe that Conair has some 100 day-ers. You might get some conflicts in March/April with spring training requirements and the push towards exams and term papers, et.. at Uni. But you would probably be able to make the first week in September for skool start..

Fentanyl, and Carfentanyl? I'm not much of a 'Hang 'em High' person, but given the damage inflicted to families, first responders, and my tax dollars by the purveyors of those drugs, I'd be OK with giving them all a decent shot of their own wares....for quality control, you understand!

And so, it ends...80 ish years of Manitoba Government Air Service ends at 0700 June 28, with an interim contract for Lifeflight being given to a Babcock/Fast Air consortium.

Probably closer to $45k, wp....6 months, or 500 hours, and then it’s off to China for big bucks..

Wondering how big the bond will be for private jet medevac pilots. And how quickly said pilots will leave again anyway... Not really a concern...my understanding is that you can’t run jets off short gravel while you’re operating under CARS 70-whatever. So there won’t be any private jet medevacs unl...

Ok, enough! Debate this via pm instead, or on YouFaceTwit... We all know they’ve been shut down; the whys and the wherefores can/will be debated ad infinitum . However y’all are straying onto thin ice by laying the blame at the feet of Mr.X, Ms.Y or Capt.Z - which is why, I suspect, that the last th...

Conair is; Airspray is not; Sask. Gov’t I assume is; Manitoba was, but it’s now under the Airspray umbrella; Ontario, Quebec and Nfld are, dunno about the rest.

Fibs, lies, and government press releases.. Recruiting staff for highly specialized positions is very difficult due to the specific qualifications and training required, as well as significant competition from private sector employers. Indeed it is...but who in their right mind would quit any job to...

And yet none of us here seem to be ready to step up the the plate and say “F**k you - pay me!”
And that goes for airlines, also...

I’m struggling to comprehend how DEF got anywhere near an aircraft fuel source? Some major league fackery going on to get a vehicle exhaust additive confused with an aeroplane fuel additive, no?
