415s aren't really made for ferrying. IIRC, when they delivered them to Europe in the early days, they went Gander to Azores - about 1500 nautical, and I don't think that they had bladder tanks installed. That's about max range. *If* you had bladders, and *if* you could get a ferry permit to up the ...

Where are they going to get the pilots from? Apparently, Conair already has difficulty crewing their tankers in Australia in the winters. Yes, there might be some people who would work dual seasons, but one of the attractions of tankers is that you only work ~ 6 months, and have the rest of the year...

"415 Pilots wanted". Amazing what happens when you privatize a company, cut wages and benefits, and now increase the days they want you to work...

I commute from the Island, if that helps? Lots of time on the ferry and transit. Have a place to stay in Vancity for morning starts if I need to.

^Perhaps/Probably. But you, and the flight crew didn't *know* that for sure. Safest for all involved is to keep them on the ground until the 'sickness' is sorted one way or another. Where SWOOP has dropped a deuce is in handling the fallout from that decision. A positive national advertising campai...

Dude, just move there, and get stuck in! I made lifelong friends from moving to small towns at the end of the road, where it appears that there's F##k-all to do, other than work, sleep, eat, and drink. It's not forever, your friends in the city will still be your friends when you return (or they wer...

Stick it out here, get your first job, and some experience, and then go overseas when you have something to offer. Why would the Euros/Aussies/Wherevers give you your first job over a local kid who knows the language and the area, and isn't going to f@@k off back to Canada as soon as he's gained som...

Interesting, that....how does a jet that size just move forward despite "the chocks being in place and the parking brake on." Or did someone f@@k up, and now they're arse covering? Also, despite cries from various quarters about the 'MSM' and their 'left-wing bias', you'll note the bias in linking t...

Why should we care what the cognitive demands are (or aren't) of driving a truck or bus? We're pilots. If we want to drive a big vehicle, then quit flying and go and do so; conversely, quit driving a bus, and take some flying lessons.

Geez ...not sure that I'd be setting off VFR into wx like that with darkness coming on.

They're probably asking for a very particular set of skills - accumulated over a long career... Firefighting's not exactly sitting in the right seat of a Q, ILS to ILS, after 1.5 years of instructing...

The Juice is back!

BAck to your old gig in the flatlands?

In my previous gig on a Cl415, I used Bose A20s - no complaints there even after 2 four hour sessions.
Now, I’m on a light business jet, and most often use a set of Lightspeed Zulus.

Of course, YMMV.

Hmm, Seneca, hey?

So an RJ or Q will be the first plane that the actually retract the gear on?! And what happens when they get a xwind greater than 10 knots?

Can’t speak to the interview, but for the sim eval, I’d imagine that you’d get (with some small variation) the standard two approaches and a hold, with an engine failure in the missed off one approach, and a single engined landing for the other.

I don’t think much more constructive is going to come of this.

It is what i lived, not heard. But long ago, during the last century.

OK, Boomer!

At this rate, I don't expect to hit mainline until I am at least 35. Ohh, noes! In the not-too-far-ago past, I ran into my initial PPL flight instructor in the concourse in YVR. He'd been at JAzz for ~5years at that point, and was looking at about the same before an upgrade, let alone a shot at mai...

"will only be able to start up and taxi but never fly." I wonder if that's a financial problem, or if there are structural problems with the machine? Good to see it restored, though!

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 ...
