Heres a different angle on the situation, Part of the problem is that we newbies to the industry, come on forums like this, and read that the average pay for an apprentice is $10 to $14/hour. We all beleive that this is the going rate, therefore, we accept the first job that pays in that range. I wa...

Since this will probably be the last posting of a topic in this Jetsgo area, I thought it may be fitting to bid fairwell to the company with a playing of the last post.

Don't forget that the FA's are the ones representing the company for 90% of the time. Here are a few things that you the paying custumer use to rate the quality of the flight: . Weather . How well you are served by the FA's . does the food taste good . does the FA have a nice ass :) . turbulence, or...

if the pilot washes the planes...its a crappy company...thats it, no decent company would make the pilots wash the planes...i would never wash a plane...you can bet on that.. :D Well you better go work for a great company like Air Canada then, cause I bet they don't make their pilots wash the plane...

I'm not sure how much more noise it reduces, I don't have active noise reduction on mine, I am only going by what others have told me. but the theory of it, is that repeating noise is erased by the headset sending out the inverse sound wave. What i've been told is that it is worth the money. Can any...

Bought my DC's about 8 years ago for $450. Sounds like a decent deal but I would shop around. Most pilots will tell you that if your going to invest in a good headset, you may as well spend the extra dough on active noise reduction. worth its wieght in gold!

What an interesting thread.....pigs talking about cows!

I agree. I think the public is only getting a worse picture of aviation as a whole. Have you ever watched that show (not sure what its called) that follows southwest airlines ticket agents? Its amazing what some people think they have the right to do on an airplane. And it all stems from the fact th...

As a crowded airliner is about to take off, the peace is shattered by a 5-year-old boy who picks that moment to throw a wild temper tantrum. No matter what his frustrated, embarrassed mother does to try to calm him down, the boy continues to scream furiously and kick the seats around him. Suddenly, ...

Theres been talk of the industry beeing swamped with new blood ready to take the reigns. I wonder if part of this problem is the flight schools. They advertise aviation as this great and wonderful place. they fill their classrooms beyond capacity. They tell you the whole time your there that the job...

I had an interview with them about 5 months ago. Very professional inteview. Textbook question...."what are your weeknesses, strengths, tell us about a time when you......" you know. Mine lasted about an hour. I imagine I was a little to cocky for their taste so I didn't get the job(I think I found ...

a good place to say your prayers before you go flying!!!!

nothing wrong with paying dues (ie ramp/dock) so long as you get something out of it. I totally agree with you there. I don't have a problem with putting in the time/work/effort to move up the ladder. However, I know some that have been 'paying their dues' for more than two years now. I'm at the 18...

best of luck to ya in your search for re-employment

And when you buy the expensive tools, buy snap on. Even though some of the more expensive tools look the same, Sometimes only snap on will work/fit . A good example of this is the shrader valve on the retractable main gear for 206 wipline floats. Only SK and Snap-on sockets have thin enough walls t...

Would 1500 posts be the magical number associated with level 10?
Quick Cat, write some more, your less than a hundred away!

From the rumors I've heard, the noise issue is just an excuse. They are apparently trying to shut YXD down to increase revenues coming from YEG. Then they will be able to Demolish XD and build some new towers. I think I heard somewhere the plan was for 2010. One of the latest moves is that any traff...

I'm still in the starting blocks as far as my career is concerned. The Thing I can't stand (and am fighting) is this idea that you HAVE to go to northern Canada to start your career. Not just pilots but mechanics too. every one I talk to says "go north for a while and get some real experience, then ...

at least they are smart enough to do concept photos before actually painting a real a/c. The first one is ugly, to dark. I think they should stick with the base white.

then eased the control column back for a perfect touch down, and just then a zebra dashed across the runway and ran straight into the propellor!

I would have thought that the airplane ran into the zebra.

Macdonald said Edmonton was picked over Calgary for the race because organizers had experience, the airport site and the proximity to downtown. Are they planning to use YXD for the race itself??? if so, i thought that the airport authority was attempting to shut that airport down to make way for mo...

Over here we seem to have deluded ourselves into believing that nothing bad will ever happen in our rosy, sheltered little worlds... and if it does, then obviously there's someone else to blame for it. AMEN! I can't stand to listen to the news and how some idiot can sue a company for their own reta...
