Re: New poll for all you perfect pilots out there.
Next time I hire a pilot, I will only accept resumes delivered by PM on Avcanada. The weeding process will be quick and easy.

Re: I think every pilot should do at least 1 skydive!
Interesting stats Prairie Chicken. I would argue though that "landing" would cover 100% of the skydiving deaths.

Anything that excludes, airplanes, airports, flying, people that fly, people that talk about flying, travel of any sort, hotels and restaurants.

Re: heavy vs biz jet performence

Corporate and commercial aicraft are all designed to meet target market demands so all have their strengths and weaknesses.

Re: Things to do on the left coast
No matter what, you ought to do some of the tourist traps because you would miss the essence of the west coast if you missed them all. Spend a day doing Stanley Park, the beaches within it and carry through to English Bay. Kits beach, Spanish Banks into the UBC endowment lands is all great. The seaw...

Re: Did you ever sign a training bond or buy a PPC?
Always an interesting topic, especially reading how everyone justifies what they have done. Training bonds are perfectly legal. Parting with cash up front to be held in eskrow is a total farce. What it does is place the burden of legal action on the pilot should the parties part ways. If you have ag...

Not like you can dip the tanks in that bird. PS awesome pics I have never heard of an instance where the previous PIC was re...

Re: Dempster flame out?
Most of us know our competitors as we know our neighbors, that is, we know them to see them, but not a lot more than that. I see the North Wright guys every day. By contrast, they have less support than us . Loaders, ramp rats, counter staff, if you want an airplane loaded, towed, or to pay for a t...

Thanks Cat Driver. Even at 25k it looks like a lot of fun for not a lot of money. You can't buy a convertable car let alone airplane.
