Your missing the point. When you are studying to eventually become a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer the focus should be on aircraft systems, theory ect..Your options could include a few others but it should not take-away from the meat. Either way the other schools mentioned have a much bette...

I'm assuming you mean the Aerospace technology course? It is most likely the worst one offered in Canada. Very little hands on, and what you do get sucks, nothing I learned from Abbott applies to my job in anyway. On top of this it is a 3 year course with the last year being at a French college and ...

Actually there is an accelarated method to go from 120 to 180, I can't remeber all that WJ has to do but the basics are contsant data on engine and APU data both from WJ and Boeing, as well the in flight shutdown, diversion ect.. limits are lower. WJ will have ETOPS of 180 mins this fall providing a...

Boeing does not make ETOPS regs, neither can they demand anything from a regulatory body. They can have specs, limits, recommendations whatever but the decision of what needs to be done for an ETOPs flt, a Cat 2 or Cat 3 approach rests with TC. Wityh the current reliability of the CFM's Boeing would...

TC requests that the APU run for the ETOPS segment. Westjet has bettred it and said that they will run the APU from begining to end, obviously thinking the same, what if it doesn't start. Althought the APU's have incredible reliability. All this from the horses mouth.

True. As per TC.

You should try L3 communications in Mirabel, the are currently doing the o/h and upgrades on the CF-18's. My understanding is they are bringing in a lot of out of country contractor's due to lack of military experience of the work force. They bought out Bombardier's defence division in Mirabel, appa...

The main diffrence between the -700 and -800 is air conditioning. The -800 has a diffrent pack system due to the extended fuse. There is also a tail skid on the -800 due to the longer fuse and psibility of tail strikes.
As was mentioned the -800 has 160 seats, at WJ anyway.

I've heard 600k from mntc dept. As for savings there are some savings right off the bat.Lower reduced take off thrust, reduced fuel load as you are legally able to factor in the fuel savings data that Boeing has proven. Therefore less over all fuel load. I've never heard 7% to 8% yet, I have been to...

Plugs will be offered to replace windows for existring NG's with eyebrow windows. As said they were deemed uselless and pilot response showed that there were rarely used and more of nuissance with the sun shinning in. There is also a significant cost savings as these windows are costly to replace wh...

Just got off trainig, we are currently approved at 120 mins but it gets us nowhere. All NG's 600,700 and 800's will be ETOPS certified although only 7's and 8's will have the range. 600's will not be comimg with winglet's although they may be added later. I was suprised to learn there are 21 operato...

September.

I don't think they still make parts for the Fokkers but they do overhaul them. I do know my friends have complained on many occasions about the lack of parts, but seem to think it will get better once the 2 slated for parts are fully stripped. They are able to rob some from the a/c in check at Nordt...

I would only want to do it on contract though,my days off and such. I have the best job around right now. Since they have their own guys it looks doubtful. I did meet Francisco I think, the guy that works with him is a guy I worked with once. I think I was introduced, I still see him around when Mex...

That was one of the reasons I wanted my A&P. They do have there own guys now. One form Mexico and another local guy with an A&P. I'm still looking into it. I just don't knoiw if I want to fork out the cash for the course. I have got a few references from guys, 3 diffrent places so far. All the guys ...

I have had my AME for quite some time, but there is lots of contract work around for people with an A&P. I was recently working with dome DL guys and they were making between 32-35 usd/hour, at Fedex I'm told a line lead is making 45 usd/hour. Granted you need to have a green card but you never know...

Return the direct buy's? The leased aircraft? Why return used aircraft when you could just halt delivery of on coming models. I think you got it wrong, nobody wants their aircraft back, especially Boeing or leasing companies, if they did you would see a whole lot more of that type of stuff going on ...

Has anyone taken those one week intensive courses in the US? I have a few friends who did so, ot costs about $2000 and they almost gurantee you will pass. Anyone recommens any schools of this nature? Thanks.

We have been in the process of getting ETOPS certified for the last year. Maintenance is being c/o accordingly, should not be too much longer. Does anyone know what ALoha's loads were? I can seee us having good loads to Hawaii but we are unkown there. Maybe sone kind of code share if Aloha stays ali...

If you don't want to look like a fool and be hated your first day have your tools, having decent stuff is a plus. You don't need all Snap on but some tools are a must like a ratcheting screw drivers and depending what you work on offset wrenches and of course lockwire pliers. Craftsman USA has some ...

With me it makes 4, I'll check out the poll.

I was told the same thing a while agao, it's not that we don't want to retire -200's it's just that it's too big of a write down.
