My 2 cents.
If you are going to do the training anyways and can afford to do it now. Start now.
Timing in this industry is everything, and being able to take advantage of a market that needs pilots is worth a lot.

Re: The Technological Future of the Profession
I would like to point out that the "commander" of that mission Jared Isaacman does have plenty of flying experience. It doesn't matter how much experience one has driving if your car doesn't have a steering wheel and/or gas and brake pedals. There are "manual" controls on the ship. Bob Behnken and ...

Re: Passive noise reduction headset + earplugs, will it work?
Did the same thing. I notice that it was usually the people with some hearing loss that claimed it was overkill... I was also surprised by the sometimes downright hostile reactions I got when I put in my ear plugs :roll: Yeah I just laughed and shook my head. I don't want to be the old guy yelling ...

Re: Passive noise reduction headset + earplugs, will it work?
Years on a metro with both passive + earplugs and then noise cancelling + ear plugs. Noise cancelling with ear plugs underneath did a very good job. The better volume control on the noise cancelling headset fixed any issues with radios that might not be loud enough. Some people said it was overkill ...

Re: Bearskin Crash — FEB 25, 2020 — Dryden, ON
Been a while but I seem remember the nose wheel goes “shopping cart” if it dies? Brakes and throttle should have kept her straight. As I say, it’s been a while. Bearskin have tillers, or rudder steering? The chap who was hospitalized had cuts on his hands from the prop. He’s a lucky guy. Did the ge...

Re: Boeing Update, for Air Canada Pilots — News and Views
Take our guaranteed gains and wait until 2020 is the best move ACPA could make. We are at a disadvantage presently with regard to perceptions of current industry events and how AC management will seek to leverage that. That said, they have billions in the bank, they're spending billions with the Tr...

Re: Boeing Update, for Air Canada Pilots — News and Views
Don't be so sure this isn't a full contract year. Both parties can agree to open it up. That benefits the company. I expect pennies above the current picture of what is cost neutral for some significant changes that will pay off big for the company. Standing by for ATIS update from our Dear Leaders...

Re: Boeing SLS and Starliner, not just Airplanes
At $2 billion ish per launch and what 11 billion already invested and it hasn't even flown. It's a major disappointment and is hindering access to space because it is way to expensive. It's also a shame the RS-25 engine they are putting on SLS is one of the best and most capable rocket engines ever ...

So. Minimum cost as stated on the website $126k + tax Plus you already need a diploma or degree and you are paying for your own type rating. Bad precedent in my opinion, and that's a big investment to make that I cant imagine very many people would be able to afford. Smart on Jazz part if they can g...

Re: CATSA nonsense
A lot of time the detectors go off even if you don’t have any metal. It’s just a randomizer to keep the CATSA monkeys busy. I asked about this. Apparently there is a sensitivity setting some are turned up some are turned down. I had a pair of shoes that were 50/50 depending on the screening point.
