Hmmm, Quebec is kinda the varsity team at this ( apologies to Ontario :wink: ) not often that they’d miss spotting a rock on the scoop run. They might be one of the OG’s but they are absolute cowboys. I’m really not surprised this happened just like I wasn’t surprised when they could have very well...

From TSB via Google Translate.... C-GQBE, a Viking Air Limited CL215-6B11 (CL-415) operated by the Government Air Service under call sign QUE243 and carrying two flight crew members, was conducting a forest fire suppression flight under visual flight rules to and from La Grande Rivière, QC (CYGL). ...

Is it me or don’t both of those props as though they are in fine and not feathered?

Weird pictures me thinks…

If someone has met the standards and is following company social media guidelines and has consent of the other crew, I don’t see what the big deal is. Watching morbidly obese functioning alcoholic boomer captains nearly have a coronary talking about their ex wives and Carney are stealing all their ...

On a slightly different topic is it just me or does anyone else think the use of French by ATC in Quebec is a bit of a safety issue? I totally understand the history that has made Quebec a mostly French speaking part of the world but that always seems a bit unsafe to me It is Totally not safe. Amaz...

Yeah, my previous employer I called texted and emailed and nothing back in regards to them certifying my logbook. So we’ll see. Everything else I have logged is certified. I’m of the opinion that regardless of how you last left your previous employer that it’s poor form on their part to not acknowl...

The Canadian aviation industry is absolutely disgusting for a new grad to have to go do this. Please don't get abused out there. Could you show us on the doll Me262 where the big bad bogey man of Canadian Aviation touched you? :roll: -Perhaps you maybe could add something constructive to the discus...

Do it. You have nothing to lose. Probably worth it. Tell them I can’t afford a flight back to Canada. They will have to hire me haha There is a lot to loose, your life included due to the situation with a gorilla movement. I won’t post any links but you can look those up and see for yourself if you...

The CARS say no, but it doesn't say anything about an exemption for "non revenue" flights, which seems silly to me as why would anything be more or less safe if the flight was revenue or not. The regs for commercial operators were written to protect paying clients who are not knowledgeable about th...

One would have to be awfully low or slow to not correct that right? Or I’d like to think…

It was also because we took massive delays trying to groom a 132 seat aircraft. I think the going thought was finish the setup, once that's complete, assist. Setup starting taking longer and longer. Then cabin crew got pretty hot and bothered. Is it written somewhere that on the Dash side, the flig...

Some are making $200k/year by the end of their career that's how. I've never understood this mindset of being upset that other people are doing well. If you have a problem with it, it's probably because you're not being adequately compensated yourself. Your enemy is not the person making more, it's...

You may want to re read the job posting. Your answer lies there.

Parle-tu Français?

If not, you should look elsewhere.

I’ve personally worked with MAG’s YVO birddog (the MAG guys are all in all a great bunch) but as bilingual as you may be, don’t expect the same from your AAO/SOP feu ride along that you’ll be chauffeuring.

It’s not rocket science.

Worked there not to long ago.. Salary pay and is about $41,000 a year. You will most likely have to work in Kitchener for six months or longer as ground help when you first start before flying. Typically work is 10 days on at 10 hours per day, then five days off cycles. 10 hours per day is just a s...

I should have quoted that “fixated” better … 5 or so posts back someone I think was seriously teasing the issue in their particular context. It was not you! Yes, better leave it … getting a bit much. One thing I forgot to mention was that over the years studying this topic of inversion shears it ha...

Appreciate the input!

I bet you have and with that kind of mindset, I’ve no doubt that you’ll find a fixed wing gig pretty soon if that’s what you really want.

All the best,

Yes it does, with x amount of commitment (bond) if successful. Except unlike Canada, you get to fly a 320 or 737 for a proper airine, and get to upgrade to left seat once you unfreeze your ATPL (no need to bomb in a C150 doing circuits to build your PIC to be "worthy") Entitled much? How’s that CPL...

Go have a look at various MPL/cadet programs available in Europe at different airlines.

What goes up, must come down…

You have no fuckin clue what you are talking about. Have you been in the military? Have you dealt with them at least? Overhead breaks, formation flying, low approaches, PARs, circuits, etc etc, all fitted in, most at the same time. NAV Canada controllers barely hold a candle to their training. With...
