Re: Dave is my first passenger with me flying PIC Right seat.

Astroguy I believe anyone here would cheerfully go flying with you as your enthusiasm and positive attitude would be a great reminder to all of us as to why we started flying in the first place.

Alcoholism I believe I'd like to teach you some manners.

Didn't they post an ad looking for both jet and 1900 pilots literally the same day as this post? (Which they acknowledged and responded to.) :lol:

Air Bravo could use a few pc12 fo's. Nice for a float guy to get his/her feet wet doing something else. Bases in Tbay, Barrie and Sudbury.

Headset as an income tax deduction

It's been roughly eleventy million years since I've purchased a new headset and was just wondering if it's an actual income tax deduction. I'm just a regular employee, not a contractor. Side note; Bose vs. Zulu? I'm too lazy to do any actual research of my own. Aaaaand go.

Re: Air Bravo Again

Everyone's situation is different. A few months ago I found myself needing something different so I came here. Rotating schedule, better than average pay and actually having fun while doing it. Is it for everybody? No. At the end of the day it's a typical 703 operator with typical 703 shenanigans. D...

Lost or stolen booklet

Any one here ever had the unfortunate experience of having their blue booklet wander off the face of the planet, i.e. stolen, destroyed, eaten or just plain lost? If so how much of a stupendous pain was it to have replaced?
