Re: Fatigue Research
Here's my epiphany: Want to combat fatigue? Schedule shorter work days, and adequate rest! That's your only solution!

Re: Can someon tell me the model?
I had a photo sent to me by a friend who flew King Air 350. The EFIS showed it doing 421KTS over the ground at I think FL300. (Pretty sure my facts are correct, but will have another look for the pic.)

Re: OK first medical exam ??
Wear clean underwear, and make sure the doc at least wets his finger! Finally a humerous thread, and here was me thinking none of you had a sense of humor!

Re: The decline of aviation
I'm sorry to hear about your predicament Check Pilot. It's a pretty sad state of affairs when someone is forced to make such a huge decision based on moral and ethical issues, but for this I applaud you, and it's with great trepidation that I say, it's too bad that more TC employees are not in the s...

Re: Random breathalyzer tests considered for Canada
Just like they say in the ad boys! "If you drink don't drive". The reality of this is that it protects everyone but the guilty. The problem with Canada is that we don't want to offend anyone, so criminals have carte blanche. Bullshit I say! Breathalize away and if anyone of you, or me for that matte...

Re: Fatigue Research
It's high time we call a spade a spade. SMS is a joke. Operators have just been given carte blanche, and will now for the most part, take full advantage of that. The mags will do for another week. That tire's ok for a bit yet, and yes, you can squeeze your mandatory rest into that period of time. As...

Re: "Poorly Paid, Often Tired, Junior Pilots"
It's the guys in this industry that say "Oh, it's ok to work for shit wages. If you don't like it get another job." You're all ass kissers, and I bet the ones climbing over everyone else to get up the ladder. Then when you do, all you do is bitch about the job you just climbed over someone else to g...
