So does anyone have any idea who our military commanders fear are planning to invade this fine country from the north?

What a bunch of bunch of shit! What next? Submarines?

Where can I apply for the pole dancing gig? I'm sick of this fucking flying business!!

Be careful not to mention having flown anything larger or faster than the CP. He's a bit insecure in that area. Just pretend to know less than him and his henchman, nod and smile and you should do just fine.

Since you're on the subject of Borek, are they hiring Twin Otter pilots at the moment??

The f-35 is going to replace all the a/c in the american forces because of the different options that are available. (army, navy, air force) Ever hear of the dope that put all his eggs in one basket? Well said Mr. Wings. But some dopes don't even realize they are the dopes so I'm not certain the im...

You make some good points which I had not considered.

Thanks.

Why does Canada need fighter jets at all? Really, I'm serious here. I'm not just trying to evoke some sort of emotional set of rebukes for my ignorance in the subject. I just have no idea what Canada needs fighter jets for at all. Yes I recall when we had some jets in Qatar during the first Gulf con...

Enjoy your retitrement Jim. I enjoyed flying with you back in the dark ages.

And what you have just said means exactly what??

For instance in PPrune there are forums for Middle East Africa Asia etc. etc. I'm headed back home after 3 months in Canada and I've enjoyed reading and posting on AvCanada. So why not add some forums for the crew overseas and the ones that want to fly somewhere else? Just an idea. Unless of course ...

It ain't just you! I've been in BC for almost 3 months and I've got loads of time on everything between Twin Otter (floats) and B747 Classic (capt) and there is so little in the way of jobs and lots of experienced guys looking. So I give up. I'm headed back to the last company I flew for in a couple...

Right on Ogee!

The rumour I hear is that it will be ex-Skyservice pilots flying the TC 757's under contract to JAZZ. I wouldn't be too surprised if it turns out to be ex-Skyservice 757's as well. Who would a guy talk to if he wanted to jump on this bandwagon in order to do a bit of 757 flying incountry ? Any idea...

Loopa, your explanation was very precise. I was just having some fun. Sorry if it was offensive. It takes me looking at my posts the following day to realize I might have been acting like an asshole.

They saw Harbour Air take over West Coast and thought they'd jump on the bandwagon.

But surely Jazz does not have any pilots sharp enough to convert onto the 757. From what I've seen the jump to a retractable twin must have been hard going for the average Jazz pilot.

Anyone else care to back me up on this one??

No, no, you've got it all wrong ... the 1 in 60 rules states that if a pilot directly asks 60 women in bar if they want to screw, one won't say no Read no further. This is the only comment worth reading. The others are all pure crap. Nobody ever uses the 1 in 60 rule when flying for a living unless...

Oh you're just being optimistic again!

Has it ever been worse?

I used to do the scheduled run to Cuba and Tenerife North in the 747 Classic for Iberia. Good gig. Not sure what significance this has with anything. Just felt like passing it on

Tube and Cat Sorry guys, but if it's quite alright with both of you I'll continue to hide behind my username for the time being. If you are afraid of being attacked personally for what you post then you should consider not posting at all or take the high road and only post something about which you ...

Tube Driver I hope you enjoy writing your posts. Sorry if I have stood up to your inane posts to your detriment on here. It's not my purpose to make someone look stupid for what they say on here nor is it of any particular benefit to anyone. Moreover it is important to point out seemingly innoculous...

"Ever seen a B747-400 without winglets?? Wonder why??" 1. No 2. Not until now... But I am eager to hear why! JAL has some 747-400s without winglets used only for short haul domestic flying. It boils down to the weight penalty versus the savings in fuel burn. You must fly a 747 for a certain distanc...
