I guess Africa isn't a continent anymore.

The NTSB are rather speedy when releasing their completed reports in comparison to our TSB. This is a bit of a tangent, but I don't think this narrative that the TSB is slow is fair to the investigators. Looking at the most recent reports that they've released, they've come out in 19 months, 11 mon...

The regionals in the States who work 17-18 days a month are making 6 figures. They used to make less than us. They also used to hire 200-hour pilots, but they aren't allowed to do that anymore because of legal changes that haven't been followed by Canada, which is something that everyone seems to i...

Just as a comparison, I was earning more as a new hire engineer with no experience in 2014 than I am 10 years later as a year 2 FO at AC. This is after 7 years and 4000 hours of flying experience to get into AC. Completely disgusting and unacceptable. Year 2 FOs should be making 150K+. Then why did...

This happened to Keewatin before, five years ago almost to the day: https://www.tsb.gc.ca/eng/rapports-repo ... c0038.html

The second incident was the Perimeter Thompson flight as mentioned above. A Metro 3 on landing, Crew noticed an engine oil leak. AME was dispatched and he thought he had it fixed. Aircraft overnight developed an oleo oil leak. Ops / Maintenance decided to carryout a gear down ferry flight. On route...

Where could we go with the range of this thing, mmmm. Considering the great-circle distance from YVR to Hawaii is 2350 NM, and the nominal range of the E2 in still winds is 2655 NM, I would bet not to Hawaii. As soon as there's a breath of wind or anything other than a direct routing it wouldn't be...

Internal Memo issued by CEO: Everything is fine, techincal glitch, continue working as per normal. Cue the "this is fine" dog in a burning house meme. An employee should ask him why bookings can't be made on third-party sites like Expedia either if it's just a problem with Flair's website. It isn't...

I see some of you don't see the problem with the DIE (much more appropriate) agenda. It's quite simple - instead of hiring the most qualified people people are now hired based on arbitrary characteristics such as race/gender/sexual orientation etc. The end result of this should be obvious - already...

What's so messy about the weather? Seems like a typical winter day. Light snow, freezing cold. It's not that conducive to icing. Nothing a Jetstream shouldn't be able to handle. Light snow reported, but vis down to 1 SM indicates that it was pretty close to moderate. This is pure speculation, but I...

I don't know exactly what time they took off, but the weather was pretty messy all morning.

He did not say all the training. Provided the employer did the required dedicated training and the captain had a single pilotPPC ,( and company Ops allowed it) nothing wrong with gaining experience on rev flights. Unless they're operating a King Air VFR only, which seems exceedingly unlikely, the c...

...sounds like a 0500-0530 show fly to yqr, yxe sit in a hotel until 1600 then fly back to yyc... The check-in times for the day-hold flights are 0800-0830, Monday to Friday, so they work out to ~10 hour days with a rest in the hotel. There are also 0245 check-ins Tuesday through Thursday to go to ...

It sounds like this is largely a problem of Pasco's own making; I, too, applied to one of their captain postings from a couple of months ago, and I never heard anything. I met all the requirements they were asking for, and I even have a current left-seat PPC on one of the aircraft they operate, but ...

Is this going to change in the future? Would it be possible to commute from west of Thunder Bay to start a pairing there, or are only those three cities going to be options for commuters?

One of my friends at Integra told me that the plan for their Saab, once they get it running, is to start a sched to Peace River. With oil production ramping up, especially with Shell's new investment, there's a lot of demand. If it's true, I think that would put a lot of pressure on NAC just using a...

How do you know? Because I was there! modi13, back to sensitivity training for you. C'mon people, can't we just leave the "why's and how's" till another day. 'nuff said. I should think. Didn't I just say that I'm not speculating on the cause? Why is it acceptable to post information from news sites...

I checked the notams a little while after the accident FYI and didn't see it offline. I would suspect b/c the aircraft crashed while on the ILS approach, TC would have shut it down to perform accuracy tests on it just in case there was an equipment problem on the ground that caused the accident. Th...

please think before you post something like that......let TSB run it's course. There's lots of "possibles". "C" stands for controlled....Therefore your use of CFIT is conjecture. I didn't mean any disrespect by my comment, and I wasn't conjecturing on the cause. I merely mentioned that it was a CFI...

Latest word is three survivors. Extremely low cloud and poor visibility at the time, possibly a CFIT.

Does Sunwest hire Navajo captains externally or only from internal upgrades? And if they hire externally what kind of experience do they want?

I'm simply incredulous at the singlemindedness of everyone on this board! You talk about the suffering in the world, and the people living in happy oblivion. You are completely ignoring the most important survivalist aspect here.... The Zombiepocalypse! It will happen. Braiiiiinnns........ There is...

I went in sort of the opposite direction as GGQ. I, too, was accepted to RMC, but as an infantry officer, and after a couple of attempts at a VOR I decided to follow my life-long dream of being a pilot, even if I would have to pay for it. Unfortunately, I didn't get out until after the grace period ...
