Re: Haemochromitosis and Cat 1?

There is zero issue as long as you maintain treatment. Your Av Dr will likely want to see your clinical records to monitor your ferritin, cbc, etc or have independent blood work done, not sure. Feel free to PM me to discuss further. I will gladly share my experiences.

Re: Overtime available

I am also furloughed, but I get it that there are OT flights available. Unscheduled flights, last minute changes, things very dynamic for the company trying to squeeze every penney they can find. These are tough times...I can very much tell you how tough it is. Perhaps a solution to this and everyon...

Re: Aviation Headset Repair Shop

Field Aviation sells the Lightspeed headsets and can do basic troubleshooting and minor repair. Anything more than that they will send it out to the factory for repair.

Re: Any Type rated 737 Canadian pilots still out there ?

I heard a rumour stating that when Air Transat put out an ad for Seasonal B737 Pilots, including Captains, that no B737 rated Captains applied. Can this be true ? A friend of mine applied for a seasonal Capt position and has not heard a thing. He is very experienced and current on the NG... Not cor...

Re: Absurdity at its worst

I think that considering the fact that the Canjet contract is till in effect and that it is Canjet and not Air Transat 737s that will do the flying this winter, all that could have been expected of Transat is to try and have their laid off pilots fly the Canjet aircraft instead of the 59 TFW worker...

Gilles, With all due respect, the 6 week course is not the only thing that is required to qualify for these positions. There is also the 100 hours of line indoctrination (less for those with similar type, but still 50minimum ). This line indoctrination takes time, which Canjet does not have this tim...

Re: Sunwing/Canjet fleet and foreign pilots winter 2012-2013

Canjet also uses the YUL simulator for YUL based pilots mostly. Not enough time slots with one sim and 2 companies fighting for it. Plus zero backup for when this sim is down.
