Re: Pilots in waiting NWAL Post
18 months? 1.5 years on the ramp making nothing, 2 years on a smaller multi making nothing, then the decision to either move to civilization and make nothing for another 2 years at a regional, or make an average wage as a captain in the middle of nowhere. Is this career even viable for anyone just ...

Re: Seeking advice for an international student!
My (albeit limited) understanding of being a spray pilot is that they prefer people with some sort of an agricultural background - that way you don't dose the potatoes with glyphosate vs the wheat..

Could we all agree on 'Max Ward Airport'?
A petition afoot to rename Edmonton Airport to 'Edmonton Max Ward International Airport'. A fine memorial for a Canadian aviation giant.

Re: Are there current Oppertunities in Asia/Africa?
I'd suggest, given this quote from elsewhere in the forum: More than half of the world’s airline pilots are no longer flying for a living amid the plunge in demand during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new survey, and those that are still flying feel less valued by their employers. that sa...

Re: Hip Replacement/ Arthritis
Now for the anecdotal: Used to fly tankers with a guy who'd had his hip replaced. he had it done during the off season, so IIRC, he was back in the saddle by the middle of the summer season. Didn't really seem to slow him down any - still went swimming most mornings, and had no problems going up the...
