Pilots who fly their plane with no consideration for the comfort of the folks in the back.
Or...pilots who are unable to fly the plane in a comfortable manner.

Strikes make for a terrible experience for everyone involved, but good luck and congratulations on sticking together. No doubt every pilot working in this industry will be watching very closely.

Any predictions on a/c type?

Why is there a bid form for YEG f/os on their website? Is this a formality for moving people around?
I hope the laid off pilots are back to work soon.

Whats going on,there seems to be alot of 703 compinies shut down by transport recently,it sounds like they are on a witch hunt and 99% of the problems are paper work.It seems they want the ops.manager and C.P in the office doing paper work instead of the flight line.This will not work for all the s...

Where is "overseas"?

I agree. $40,000 for a twin turbine captain position in YYC with that schedule is terrible. Shame.

Can anyone who has updated their profile recently explain to me how to update things like flight time, etc on the application site? The website only lets me update certain things on my profile, but I can't find the area that asks for flight time, FMS time, etc...
Thanks.

Are there any Canadian pilots that fly overseas on contract?
How about permanently?

Thats funny, flying by YTH tonight, Perimeter declared an emergency due to gear problems. CYYQ - CYTH 5 pax and 2 Crew and 1200 lbs of fuel. Listening in on the YTH MF, FSS guys were out with a spot light seeing if the gear was down as they made 3 fly-by's. seems to me that this outfit has numerous...

I am shocked and amazed that TC has not done something about duty limitations. In respect to medevac flying, being expected to fly a 14/15 hour day within roughly 30 minutes notice and not knowing when your going to get the call is insane. A day or two, fine; but after 7 days straight of that schedu...

I'd think that it would have a significant effect on those among us who commute.
Anyone have any links or more information? Just heard about it through a friend, but can't seem to find anything official.

Heard a rumour of some proposed tax legislation that would make cheap/free travel for airline employees a taxable benefit. Anyone know anything about this?

Well if you don't want to work in the bush anymore, I would recommend getting the MIFR.
I don't think buying a rating on a Caravan in the hopes of having a job in the spring is a smart investment.

Would someone be willing to PM me the name of the individual responsible for hiring/interviewing?
Also, would it improve my chances of getting an interview if I were to make a trip to Kanata?
Thanks!

Thanks for the posts.
Looks like I missed out on this round of interviews.

Does anyone know if (or when) First Air will be recruiting for pilot positions?
I have applied through the website and email but haven't heard back. Any suggestions on how to get my application noticed?

Thanks!

The proper way would be to say CYAB at (time) Destination. By broadcasting that it is "NEXT" it infers that it is just the next reporting point, not your destination. Fair enough. However, I think in most parts of the country (the north) where this is being used, your next "reporting point" is your...

Can one of you pilots clarify for me the meaning of "Go ahead your latest". A) Just wanted to add something to their position and ETA B) You want to know what I did last night C) Last METAR or SPECI D) You want an airport advisory, which I am required to give you anyway On behalf of all pilots who ...

Talking about Radio phraseology, it always amazes me when guys will report at FL xx OH.. O is a letter. If you listen to ATC they will almost invariably reply; check you level at FL xx ZER0. The other thing that I find really irritating is when guys are off of somewhere and do a blind broadcast say...

I understand you, as well as everyone else RB, and appreciate all the info. But as I just pointed out in my last post, this all started out of a reply I made to another thread weeks ago. It's just really annoying when people don't read, or understand what I'm saying and turn things around, because ...

What percentage of SSV's business does that equate to?

This commend at the bottom of the article gave me a chuckle:

"

Our thoughts and prayers are with them now.

yup, don't see why not. Don't like it but i don't see why it would be illegal Charts and plates are required to do the job safely - just like vests, boots, hearing protection, and various other equipment is required in other jobs, but employees aren't required to purchase. Should I also be paying f...

Is it legal to require an employee to purchase their own charts?
