Just wanted to know if anyone out there knows of a person or company that develops ground schools, or has one they would be willing to sell. Looking for ppt and motion slide developments similar to what you would find at CAE or FSI. Any leads would be appreciated. Thanks. I am VERY interested in som...

People can try and place blame from now to the end of eternity, but the nature of this industry is such that all parties contribute to the risks and that amount of influence is always in flux. What I'm saying is there are soo many variables in this line of work such that you will never fully "safe-p...

SPORTS FANS?! ahah... what the @# is god's beef with them?

I definitely wouldn't blame the plane. It sounds like he was able to trim it manually so he wasn't fighting forces.The Ceiling was 2800' on an ILS with an 8kt Cross Wind, and he touched down past A4. (Taxi way A4 is 2/3rds of the way down the runway) I think this dude was just scared shitless and wa...

Regardless of the fuel jumps, airlines and aviation will continue in one capacity or another. Yeah our system is energy hungry, and that isn't going to change with China and India looking for western luxury (and they have every right to). Although this raises all kinds of environmental debates and q...

Great to hear. Thanks for the information. You have left me very curious though, something you were supposed to eliminate. I actually paid to have an assessment for residency/immigration into New Zealand last winter. Wasn't too far off on points, its just a little hard to justify without ever having...

YEah I assumed the same. They are usually trying to come to Canada to fly due to lack of work in Nz... so I am doubtful of any truth to this matter. I know that Emirates was in Calgary, so maybe it was mistaken identity. Just want someone to crush the rumor so I do not day dream about it anymore. :g...

I heard a rumor a few weeks back that Air NZ was going to have a series of job fairs throughout Canada.
However, I cannot find a single mention of that on the internet, so I was curious if anyone was aware of anything.

cheers

Its also on the Vancouver Province newspaper web site. It actually has the whole video for several minutes leading up to the police arrival and the conclusion. I am usually a fairly strong supporter of RCMP and the challenges they face in their job. but this time, I gotta say it looks pretty bad. Ye...

Can anyone recommend a good Flight Planning program?! We need a flexible program for 702-704 operations. I have found that most commercial programs are American specific or at least vague on the Canadian nav information. Alot of these new programs have extreme overkill for planning and are time cons...

I haven't heard too many studies say that Bio-diesel has worse emissions, in fact quite the opposite. I have heard a lot in the media lately about the back lash against bio-diesel because of the farming effect etc etc. From what I understand, and I could be wrong, the whole bio-diesel thing started ...

I would argue that at times its safer to speed. Like when you are on the highway and following a pack of idiots riding bumper to bumper for 10 car lengths. That is sketchy, and that is when collisions involve so many cars. I often will speed to get ahead of the mob then go a steady 10 give or take o...

Looks cool. I bet that 100$ a year is far less than the mtc costs and installation of an ELT that is a lot less likely to work. This is where aviation should be headed if its not already. Bet it will be a lot more expensive to get them when they are "aviation approved."

This debate is always really interesting, so here are my 2 cents. The US has so many accidental shootings, it isn't even funny. However, thats because of the way they handle guns. The fact that people leave loaded fire arms lying around is bound to lead to accidental, or intentional, violence. In Ca...

Remarks aside, prang one Im with you. This captain is full of it. He basically let the situation get a little hairy before he realized it, and to cover his ass and avoid embarrassment he gets preachy and says he did it on purpose. I feel bad for the co-jo because he may have made mistakes, but it sh...

x-plane RULES!! It isn't as simple as microsoft, but I would say its faster and more advanced. Its also extremely customizable. I would say the physics modeling is better. It also has 80 gigs of terrain of the earth. Furthermore if you are a bit of a geek, there is a very cool plane builder program,...

Complexintentions hit the nail on the head. This thread is not even about cell phone interference any more, its just a hen circle bitching about the prime minister!! Its really hilarious actually. I dislike all government, critical of all politicians but realistic enough to see BS for what it is. Th...

I would highly recommend getting your ME IFR and your IATRA as well before grabbing a job. A company hires for as long term as possible due to costs of training and all that, so they want someone who will continue on in their equipment. They will not pay for your multi or IFR; well I have never hear...

God Crazy,

I totally agree with you. No argument here. But from what I've heard it was an exhaustive process to get that aircraft for a very specialized purpose, so I wouldn't worry about a russian invasion taking all the work.

I hate to interfere with all the speculation, but I have to set the record straight. The Mil26 coming to Canada has been in the works for a long long time. Its here for moving specifically designed oil drilling rigs for the north because of the limitations of the winter road seasons. As you know oil...

No pilot is required to take an ATC clearance they feel would endanger themselves or the aircraft. Thats basic stuff that makes me think the law suit against navcanada is wack. Of course you'd expect them to do their best to help out, but they are only human too. As said earlier, I would be GPS near...

When it comes down to it, Canadians aren't going to care about the "MORALS" of West Jet and punish them for it. They are going to buy airfare based on service and price. I bet the same guys yelling bloody murder and down with West Jet still voted Liberal even though the ripped off every person who v...

Costermonger you are totally right. I definately have very liberal minded views, but I have conservative thoughts about protecting borders and trade rights etc etc. I hope things don't get polarized like the states, where people venomously defend whether they are republican or democrat. It was actua...

Uhm, northern Alberta is Newfoundland... Ft. Mc Murray is the second biggest city in Newfoundland.... Why is it that western is red neck right wing? Have you been to BC? Alberta does not define the west, it just employs it! aahha.. I like that. But seriously, Im not liberal cause they are corrupt, a...

.. that is too funny dude.. ! But anyways, I can't believe the talk of evil conservative empire. This situation is perfect, check and balance like you wouldn't believe. I am uneasy about the conservatives, but it was a question of the lesser of two evils. Those corrupt liberal crackers needed a time...
