Re: Overseas Flying
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...

Re: The PM needs a new ride
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...

Re: Operating different machines.
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.

Re: Whats the best headset to get
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?

Re: Perimeter
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.

Re: Airman vs. Airperson Discussion/Poll
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...

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?"
