... 8 ) Real Profit Share Cheques As far as item number 8 "Real Profit Share Checks"; I understand that back in the early days of Porter (2007-2009); there were "Real" "profit sharing" checks issued to all the employees (I remember arguing with POE friends back in those days, that there was no way ...

met a guy who was flying a caravan for one of the cargo contracts who worked a second job while at his first job. he would do the milk run outbound in the morning, work a short shift at home depot instead of staring at the walls in the hotel, then the milk run back down to base.

the meat and potatoes of the sim training are engine failures I thought the PC-12 was a single?! Engine failure would be as per the POH - presumably something like pretty simple like: - minimize drag - maintain the specified airspeed - turn to nearest airport respectfully, yes you did miss somethin...

fwiw i would highly recommend investing in the sim training (if anything you may get a break from insurance even though they would insure you with the equivalent of a pcc). the meat and potatoes of the sim training are engine failures including deadstick imc approach and landings. that kind of exper...

Just as important. How about a flow down to Encore if things go into the crapper. In other words has anyone heard of any provisions which will allow a WJA pilot to bump down to Encore if the economy goes back into the dumper. Is it possible that the unthinkable might happen and that Encore might st...

this is the best one i've ever come across. it was short lived at 6 episodes but three of them should be required listening for anyone who flies http://www.flightpodcast.com/episode-list Episode 6: John Bartels & QF30 Qantas Flight 30 (QF30) was a Qantas Boeing 747-438 (construction number 25067 & r...

took about five years to crack $60, one more year to go back under it, another four years above it, another two years under it.... you get the picture. choices that make sense for your life and long term career aspirations won't necessarily correspond to a linearly growing paycheque over the course ...

if there is any doubt as to what is going to happen in canada...

flew the new notam'd parameters last night. they seem like an improvement at first glance but, in actuality, they just achieve the same result with a slightly different (still inefficient) profile in the descent. this is owing to the fact that the 200kt/3000' constraint (which was not changed) will ...

looking at the TCAS and having an idea of what ATC needs to do with you Please don't. In my experience most often you are wrong or cause more work for us. I don't think you understand what crookedtimber is saying. When we hit the DTW, unless we're told how many miles to the base leg (which never ha...

just wondering if ATC is enjoying these new arrivals as much as we are in the cockpit? i thought the last iteration of the STARs before these newest ones worked beautifully- each hinged with a speed and alt at the bedpost, then "3000 or above" at the DTW with no speed restriction. easy to manage ene...

another reason to reapply is the fact that the "pool" system means that your success is, to a certain extent, a function of your timing. you could be a perfectly viable candidate but if you're interviewing at the same time as 20 other people who speak one more language than you do, have one more deg...

If there is no issue with the medical or references, you normally get the call about two weeks before the course starts (courses start on a Monday, so calls go out on a Thursday or Friday, 2 weeks prior). This gives you about only 1 or 2 days to give two weeks notice to the current employer. Hint: ...

always wondered what these look like from the inside, thanks for posting!

Which aircraft/bases?

The Equipment bid shows the ability to hire 56 new pilots. I would expect the usual, only YYZ positions, on the EMJ and RP.

i was told that it looks like the next hires can expect EMJ(YYZ). good luck all!

i don't think the float rating is particularly "hard to get" but it's probably the toughest flying to master. a group 1 rating is only as hard as it is to memorize all the procedures and then once you've flown them a couple of times you have a good handle on them. transitioning up in types is just a...

shut down at a random airport in illinois... 2 mig29s sitting on the ramp *cough*red dawn*cough*

Recently got the nod. Just wondering if anyone has any words of advice for a newbee to these new fangled corporate jets. Apart from the given material, anything else I should be studying? Thx! congrats! what type specifically? for starters maybe have a look at "fly the wing" and/or aerodynamics for...
