Bravo Gilles, I watched all aspects of todays' discussion via the CBC website and thought that you represented the overwhelming majority of Canadian Pilots' views extremely well. It looks as though the issue has finally reached critical mass and that your efforts are bearing measurable results. I do...

Well done Giles, Your tenacity and thoroughness are to be commended. Whilst true that TC's efforts to discourage you and your ongoing campaign (with deflection tactics) may simply be a result of their being embarrassed by the truth (that they have acted in contravention of the very regulations for w...

Well said Gilles. Keep fighting the good fight

Hi, My mother in law is flying on ws645 yqb - yyz tomorrow night. its her first flight ever and is unilingual francophone. is there a bilingual flt attendant on board or is it simply taped recordings??? as you can imagine shes a little nervous and having an actual french speaker as part of the crew...

I agree! If they're going to hand AC money then hand some to WS too! And while they're at it, how about adding the rules that AC is saddled with to WS as well. Lets make it a even playing field! Let me begin by saying that I'm no proponent of the Air Canada Act. I think it's unfair and outdated to ...

What's with the huge move in AC stock today? Sure there's a rally on Bay Street however it's disproportionate to the lift that Air Canada received.

Insiders privy to a Government announcement regarding foreign ownership caps perhaps?

I commute on Westjet quite a lot (recip). No complaints and I appreciate the option. Anyone with quibbles might consider that the price is certainly right!! It's pure goofiness that we (AC) can only carry as many recip people as we have jumpseats. I think it's being worked on but don't hold your br...

Well said

Also, the RNP dep off Kamloops rings a bell. VNAP B 'required' from memory.....

Wow, this thread certainly has gone a bit sideways from the original topic... Had no idea that my response would illicit such emotions! WRT managing the automation, I'm certainly not attempting to re-invent any wheels nor contravene Boeing's design philosophies. Actually, I take pride in attempting ...

I guess it's just a whole new philosophy and hence, mind-set. There are numerous examples of this however I'll try to hit on the ones that were obvious to me.... Firstly, we are neither required nor expected to have an intricate knowledge of the systems on board the machine. For example, on previous...

I agree that having seen how a more "complex" thing work must be easier on the stress, however if someones can get him/herself out of that mindset, I still don't believe it's harder to learn a 737 coming from a RJ or a King Air. For what it's worth.... I came off a 1900 and the transition to the NG...

For those that have recently started with WJ as a pilot. Did you do any studying prior to starting the course. Can you shed some light on what to expect in terms of schedule and so on. Thanks Welcome aboard! Basically, what Tim Tam said. One thing that I'd like to add though, it will help immensely...

Damn!

Our plans for global domination have been unmasked....

The most recent posting for first officer on the king air for voyageur. OK, guys, like really. I realize we all have to put our time in. BUT I REALLY THINK THAT I HAVE PUT MY TIME AND NOT TO MENTION THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER, just to get a job for 24Gs a year. So, basically, I have to live at home...

True,

And let's not lose sight of the fact that Westjet have RNP approaches into Kelowna....

The airlines shouldn't be the training schools you are implying, You seem to think that the captain at the airline will have all the answers. I'll ask what happens when the captain is incapacitated in a situation that might be this candidates 2nd week on the job and where is he/she going to pull th...

Ditto.....

If you need help financially there are many here who will chip in to pay a lawyer for you. Count me in for $30 if it goes to court (sorry it's only $30 - I am a pilot afterall!). If we take a stand early on this ridiculous rule, hopefully we can nip it in the butt before it gets completely out of h...

The bottom line is if you are on a medevac mission, going to pick up or returning home empty most employers who watch their bottom line will tell you to file medevac, because nav canada fees are waived for medevac flights. End of story. Not true. At our company, any flight using the company name in...

Came across this post and thought it was worth sharing:

Don't know for sure whether it's legit but only one way to find out.

Cheers and happy flying
