Since you guys are FSS bashing I thought I would throw in a good word for CYQU FSS. Great bunch of guys to work with! Very helpful and cooperative and not out to write you up for any reason. They work as hard as many controllers. Keep up the good work!

Great post noonespecial.
Many of us can relate to what you have said.
Perhaps your time away from aviation won't be forever.

I sure hope that practice is only just a rumour!

If it is, then I guess all the time those same pilots spend training other pilots on their aircraft shouldn't count as 'real' time either!

From other pilots I know that live in NS, there are lots of low time pilots living there already that are trying to get on with them despite the low pay and long hours. If your willing to put yourself out there then get in line for a job. Keep your expectations low so you won't be too disappointed, ...

You've probably finished the job by now....
but a combination of shimming behind the board and mudding the joint will give you the best results, for an old uneven wall.
Old houses are sooo much fun to renovate

I have alot of disdain for guys that go out and buy ppc's for the sole purpose of attaining a job they don't have yet. Its the employer's responsibility to provide the ppc, and of course the employer is going to want to do this to determine how good (or bad) of a pilot they hired regardless. It is j...

Well...I expected some funny respones...but nothing that funny
(don't cats have really small twig and berries?)

If any other professional like a doctor, lawyer, teacher, etc... did this, you can bet they would certainly point out the profession. Who would really like visiting a doctor who performs lewd behaviour in public. Imagine what he might be capable to doing during an inspection of a patient's privates....

Regarding RH base at an MF, have a look at CAR 602.96 3)c) 602.96 (1) This section applies to persons operating VFR or IFR aircraft at or in the vicinity of an uncontrolled or controlled aerodrome. (2) Before taking off from, landing at or otherwise operating an aircraft at an aerodrome, the pilot-i...

Apply the temp correction
Save yourself from becoming another CFIT accident

You're not alone ......

Keep on rolling with the punches, a fresh beer is waiting for you

Navajoflyer is correct.
In CAR 702 and 722 just a PPC or PCC (depending on COM) is required for day VFR aerial ops. Sweet deal for a low timer if you can find it.

Doing low level aerial I've hit two small birds at different times...barely even noticed. Had numerous close calls with Hawks. I almost think they are curious, perhaps bold :shock: . Had one in particular that would not go away and seem to be playing a game flying near me. :P How do you tell a hawk ...

Evalle, I didn't get the impression that Deskdriver was being a smartass either. If you have a valid opinion or important imformation to post (and I think you do), then take your time and compose it so it is understood by others the way you intended.
Cheers

Men its time for you pusseys high and low time to stop cryin to your mammas and listen up!!!!!!!!! 1. Do not buy a ppc or work for free 2. Its all about who you know dad got me my first job 3. Do not work ramp or take broom,shitter,forklift,ppc your a pilot 4. Always take the multi turbine job 5.Re...

You guys went on a real tangent here with the minority argument. :? HavaJava implied that a certain individual was hired with less than the 'hard minimums' that the employer told him, and many others, that they must have before being considered for the job. :x Its understandable that he would be ups...

I'll bite for another useless post

That reminds me of what happens to us guys at the time of the month when the 'red tide' is well underway.
But money somehow makes it all better...

Would you please explain why you think this?

Bede,
Thanks for the address. I'm sending one now.

Pika and Dr Rain,
Its considered an employment expense, and therefore a tax deduction.
The deduction is a good thing, but not enough to make anyone feel good about the loss.

Well said PJ! Whats it going to take for pilots to understand this concept. How many more have to get burned before they are willing to stand up and say 'no way'. We need to be empowered, but certainly there is a lack of solidarity against this issue, and so it will not be achieved. We seem to need ...

Jetsgo on the news tonight. They mentioned the 30k bond but it was barely a blip in the whole story. Come on JG pilots, make more noise about it please....

Why is this post under Flight Instruction?
Daryl...you want more info on this from pilots? Keep reading these forums and you'll get a good idea. You may have to work a little harder for your story though.
Airtids, good point!

Shtinky, you are definitely not alone in your situation. I once worked at a flight school where the owner and the CFI encouraged discord amongst the instructors. They liked it because they felt it kept everyone on there toes so to speak. Instead it lead to some really low morale, and eventually the ...
