No ****, Sherlock!

Can someone clean the previous post up please? I find the language offensive.

Mods?!?

The first step to greasing on a Dash 8 is to lower your standards. Treat it like last call at a Sioux Lookout bar.

Hellian, wow, never seen anybody so wrong before. Wages and workplace safety covered by law? Workplace safety maybe....on paper. Watch one episode on Ice Pilots and you'll see some poor bugger up on the wing of a C46 sweeping snow off. I'm surprised OHSC hasn't stepped up. As for wages, the Canada L...

We made A4 exit landing on 6R then Rwy10 landing on 6L in YUL the other day. I thought the brakes needed a workout.

and the Crosswind charts starts at .20 by the way.

Nice! I love that airplane!

mattedfred, don't you fly a Dash 8 for Jazz? Aren't brakes on a Dash only meant for parking at the gate? I was under the impression that as long as it's not .1 CRFI in front of the marshaller a Dash is fine on any surface.

Nobody's commented on all those CanLII quotes. They have all sided with the Employer. A contract is a contract. Whether it's ethical or not it is still a contract signed by adults and legally must be adhered to. All those CanLII quotes have shown is that those pilots were idiots. It was written in b...

Hmmmm, after finally reading all the facts why wouldn't the crew have gone. It snowed and removal was in progress. I would have gone with that info known to me. Apparently so would Doc and Cat Driver. That's 40000+ hours of experience making that decision. Perhaps YYW MTO should run their airport be...

Sure -Good schedule -Decent pay -Good equipment and maintenance -Good Training -Good group of coworkers -No pressure to fly in weather you feel unsafe I know Doc will disagree, but its also been a long time since he has worked here. Also there are people that don't like flying for Wasaya but the neg...

Nothing like the topic of Wasaya to bring Doc back on here to slam them. It was so nice while you were gone not moaning about Wasaya for a few weeks. Everyone knows you feel hard done by by Wasaya but no one wants to hear it. Believe it or not there are people that enjoy working for Wasaya and are h...

that's a remarkably terrible idea. this sounds a lot like what they do in china. they own your license. if you quit the company, you quit flying. the ideas that rules and prohibitions are the way to elicit loyalty is a pretty '1984' train of thought. what's to stop a company from threating to fire ...

You think it would be in everyone's best interest for a PPC or type rating to be non transferable. All the same requirements, but only good for one company. Just think... Companies not stabbing other companies in the back by stealing their type rated pilots. Pilots not stabbing other pilots in the b...

BoooYahhh!

Brown Bear just got owned!!!!!!!

Did mummy and daddy pay for your CPL? Years ago?

Hey Hammer, you're making a lot of assumptions in your last post that are incorrect, But I am sure your opinion is more important than mine so we should listen to you. What kind of response is that? I stated a fact, and shared my opinion, and I am sure most people would agree that transports regs ar...

These regultaions are full of holes that operators can manipulate, half the time the pilot doesnt know the rules himself so he gets manipulated, knowledge is power. However when you get right into these regs you see how little they do to prevent pilots from flying fatigued, or sorry having to stick ...

Wow, Jazz, Wasaya and Transat all reaching TAs. 2010 has be quite a year. All you people that dump on ALPA can apparently go screw yourselves. Nice job guys.

Hmmmmm, I don't think "on call" is as grey an area as you may think. It was stated above that the two are almost identical except that "on call" has the pilot reporting in less than an hour. As far as being on either "on reserve" or "on call" if the conditions of the CARS (a) and (b) cannot not be m...

Normally I cringe when people post a reply with a TC link, but yours Mach.28 was actually a fine quote of Guidance material. Perhaps someone should ask the CP of a certain Northwestern Ontario chisel charter company, Hmmm can't quite place the name, Air Alpha, no, Charlie, no, it'll come to me. They...

It's a known fact, that paying pilots, and treating them well, will keep them around. In the long run, that's far cheaper than running initial aircraft courses on a regular basis. I personally couldnt agree more, unfortunately, some companies dont feel this way, some companies feel that people are ...

I believe thats the way it has been done all along, the CP deciding who does what etc. yet there is still a bond?. im not sure how you figure giving the CP at any company supreme power on who flies what aircraft would eliminate the need for bonds? The only thing I can think it would create, dependan...

Brown bear, hmmm you sound alot like a certain Wasaya bashing former AvCanada regular.

Anyhow, heard WSG finally has a CBA in the ratifying process. Hopefully that'll help the cause.

Conciliation commissioner????

Sound like beaurucrat BS to me. The Minister will probably shoot down their strike just like she almost did to Jazzes.

Minister of Labour is an impartial ass, for those that didn't know.

Advantage Keewatin pilots. Calm Air has one of the sweetest collective agreements in Canada.

A strongly worded letter? You're obviously oblivious to the unionized workplace. I'm not even going to indulge you with an answer, try Google,

Not yet. Whoever the guy is that posted about management being on the seniority list, check the facts, 99% of Collective Agreements have a section that allows management to fly and be on the seniority list. They have to, maintaining currency, filling in etc. The CBAs have restrictions for how much a...
