Re: Cargo jet - picus

Jesus I hope not. Go fly a king air if you still need hours for your ATPL. Classic dinosaur mentality. Can’t wait for all you to retire! Ok, I'll bite... how is it dinosaur mentality to ask that a candidate has done a minimum amount of PIC time - where you, to a great degree, live and die by your o...

Re: Trump threatens immediate 25% tariffs on Canada

I’m no economist but I thought that the general idea was that tariffs will make things more expensive to buy - thus, inflation?

Re: TC Class 2 Aviation Medical Certificate Question - Suboxone

Congratulations on being clean for 3 years!

I suspect, though, that it might be an uphill battle to get a medical while you are using Suboxone.
IMHO, if you were completely clean (no sub) for 5 years, you might have a better case.

Good Luck!
