I wonder what the senior engineers thought of those 2 young long hairs turning wrenches?
These are great pictures and stories from everyone, keep them coming please! Maybe a sub forum with more back in the day pics...

Bede, I agree with you 100% in principle. Your obviously a good person for wanting to get the job done and its good to see that attitude in aviation. It is almost mandatory to help the engineers when flying in up north or in remote, unsupported areas. That said, flying for an airline gets very speci...

Just a couple of honest questions; !. Why would anyone want to stay on past 60 when you have a nice pension (now in surplus...) waiting for you when you walk out the door? 2. Why not spend the time and capital to negotiate an incentive for early retirement? 3. If the pilot group came up with a rotat...

Does anyone know what is the best rating or endorsement for contract flying in Alberta or BC?
What rates are guys charging for their services?
Time exceeds Contrails minimums.

Thanks

Best person to have in your corner if you were right and please call before 10 if you wanted an answer..
RIP

Nirvana,

A 777 Captain is responsible for a $225 000 000 machine with up to $3 000 000 000 of liability attached to it. I earned every cent.

Veereference, Just a couple of pointers for when you do an interview: Do not tell them that you would have preferred to work in Europe and that Canada was your best "option". Do not tell them that you wanted to instruct only to "avoid the whole situation that is going up north and working like vermi...

My misunderstanding of your negotiating representatives, I'm glad you have professional representation at the table. Emotional arguments cloud the facts that your troops need to inform themselves with, doesnt rally them at all. My concern is not with your professionalism during your onslaught but wi...

I am 100% in agreement with your pilot group but.. You keep posting EMOTIONAL arguments; History, pride, morality, fairness, iconic and we gave everything in 2003 is not a basis for negotiating. Your management DO NOT GIVE A SHIT about your feelings! Your management only care about money, that's why...

He did solve the problem in the air! Im pretty sure the SOP for a stick shaker is to lower the nose....He did and landed. Investigation over, next. I cant imagine what it would be like to fly around with the stick shaker going off. The Captain has the final authority to do whatever is required to la...

To anyone seriously looking at this job. STAY AWAY! They still owe money to just about everyone who has had anything to do with this "outfit". If its a question of you needing some quick cash, you will not see it! They have BS documentation from Honduras and the equipment is junk. That aircraft show...

Its on the Foreign Affairs website, there is a drop down for countries to visit.

For anyone considering working at EK, EY or FlyDubai; If you get called for an interview, the UAE will require all Canadians to get a visa prior to entering the UAE as of Jan 2 , 2011. Heads up about UAE and paperwork, they are as good at it as they are at negotiating Canadian landing rights. Speaks...

I was just at the management briefing that we get at our recurrent groundschool and they told us they now require 1000 pilots in the next 20 months. I am flying with guys who are assigned ground duties because they are time ex, which brings up the point that after doing the maximum flying hours or o...

EK has about 11 000 cabin crew to wade through as a bonus.

Back to the topic gang, she was lucky to get away with that sentence.
I hope we wont have to do psych testing at security now. Good for Westjet for careAnteeing that she will never fly with them again. Well done to the crew.

Jack Klumpus,

No pienso que me gusta tu sugerencia de que todos los pilotos canadienses son los mexicanos. entender? Gano más dinero de mi subsidio de vivienda de su salario anual!

Chao!

If anyone is still unsure about coming out to Dubai and what you may experience in everyday life, have a look at SHEIKH ZAYED ROAD MADNESS on Youtube. Basically a bunch of young locals block the busiest highway in Dubai during rush hour so they can jack around, ahhh to be young, rich and stupid! The...

Oh yeah, watch the pilot shortage videos on youtube. Super funny, painfully true.

CI is bang on, you have to really question why you want to come out. There are still some good things in DXB BUT you will always get treated like a second class citizen by the locals, examples; Britsh couple jailed (30 days) for a kiss on the cheek at a restaurant at 2 am based on an Emirati womans ...

The BA (British for that matter) way of dealing with anything that may harm the reputation of their brand image is to rid themselves of the perceived problem faster than a soiled johnny. Anyone who has any experience with these types will tell you this, ask any EK or CX pilot. You better believe BA ...
