Re: Drama Queen pax runs to CBC

This young lady is trying to educate herself and others about things that we see as "normal." Instead of firing insults her way why don't you try contributing to a constructive dialogue.

Re: Grande Prairie Deal

So this is an ad for maybe 10 pilots out there? If you were told that, I'm assuming you are one of the COPA pilots. Couldn't you just share in your group? YQU had very high prices when Swan Aero was the only game in town. Prices dropped once Happy Gas started. Happy Gas has bent over backward for G...

Re: AC in the News Again

I flew across the pacific twice this year with my four year old daughter and no issues at all. Go potty before the flight and at regular intervals throughout, be engaged and on top of the situation. Geesh people just check their brains with their baggage.

Re: Accident in North Vancouver

With 20 gallons of fuel, BEW of around 1450, and a MTOW of 2300lbs, that leaves 180lbs/person. Perfectly okay. He dipped the tanks in Tofino and had 20 gallons. That's 2.5 hours at 8 gph. Plenty of fuel. Yes, he ran out of fuel, but the puzzling question is why? Was the dipstick inaccurate (wrong s...

Re: Cat1 medical Inguinal Hernia Question

I have an umbilical hernia and scheduled for an operation in July. My aviation doctor says to tell my doctor that I'm a commercial pilot and it will be up to her to give me the appropriate "time off" work (like she would for others) and that I'm not subject to losing my medical with my type of hern...

Re: Pilot Hiring Website Wanted

I found this list of "http://www.softwareadvice.com/ca/hr/app ... comparison." Probably something in here that would work for you. At the very basic you could likely set up some sort of Key Word filter on your emails Inbox that does some classification?

OK, you made me google Google Cardboard. Still not sure if it's a joke ... It is very much a real thing. You can get actual cardboard headsets, or some pretty fancy ones from Mattel or even Karl Zeiss. They all work the same though, load your late model smart phone with the appropriate apps, put yo...
