See that's just it. You think I want something I have not earned. All I or (we) want is the ability to move up through the ranks like everyone before us. NW you might be totally right here and I might be out to lunch. But I just don't get why you would want to change the game at the end. Please tell...

Never saw that coming. I forgot how some of you feel you provided this career for us. For the record I got here myself, did everything myself, qualified myself and most of all earned it myself.

Older, wiser more experienced at the helm.

For the record I got no problem with working past 60. Just don't screw the generations behind...

Re: Jet engine run-up

FADEC deals with run ups on a modern engine. The only time you might see what seems like a run up is during icing conditions. My airplanes AOM calls for ice sheading after 30 min of taxi. Long story short we will ask to stay in position for 30 sec or for a place to go to apply power. We bring the en...

Re: NT Air King Air Accident - Pilot Discussion Thread

I have a lot of 100 time... the oil cap being loose or undone is a very dangerous issue. In the event of loss of oil pressure a PT6 has been clocked by beech to stay "onspeed" or un-feathered for up to 90 min. At the 90 min point the test was ended. Should the aircraft slow down it should start to f...

Re: Do Twin Otters Have Autofeather?

The otters auto feather system is just for T/O. STOL ops require it for the climb below VMC. The system has been changed over the years due to issues with it feathering both engines.

Re: Impact of YYC no longer accepting general aviation

Calgary is a Joke! FLOW is a bigger joke.... all I hear is "we need a new runway and we don't want tax cuts to kill it". I talked to a sector manager about a week ago and I was told to expect it to get worse. How could that be? I get that it can be busy but my god how could it get this bad so fast. ...

get a real job by yourself and don't buy it. Go north and work for it or work the ramp do something other than buy your way in. And if you do get a job don't tell anyone you had the stupid ass idea, or you might not have the job for long.
