There should be no problem to do them individually by the end of the year. You can do an IFR quite easily in a couple weeks. My friend did an instructor rating a couple years ago in 3 weeks. 5.5 months for both should be a breeze.

No airport in the UK has any exemptions for any crews. Operating or not, in or out of uniform. Local or foreign. Anything over the limits must be checked. Is there any country outside Canada that has exemptions for Canadian crews deadheading? Everywhere in the Caribbean, U.S.A, Germany and the Neth...

And some European countries won’t allow any deadheading crew an exemption even if they are in uniform. The clowns at LGW cost me about $50 with everything they threw out. And every country in Europe seems to be different in what and when they allow it.

I had a friend doing an IFR x country in a 172. I was on the same frequency when the controller gave him an approach clearance 3 times with no response. The controllers mic was stuck and he continued to call him a “f***ing nuisance“. As soon as he landed my buddy managed to nab the recording from li...

737 captain with 7000+ hrs. No degree, no call. That being said, I don’t care if they do call. I just keep updating my profile because I’m curious.

Rick Adams used to do them in Springdale. I know his son is still flying and probably still has a float plane kicking around.

That’s a pretty neat tool. I guess I’m in better shape than I thought. With the rate I’m saving I should be getting $125k in today’s dollars assuming it’s in the ball park for inflation. Maybe I can afford that Porsche.

The banks don't think beyond their little world. When I applied for a mortgage they said they could give me X amount of $, I said if you give me a bit more I can afford something close to work to avoid commuting therefore saving about $500 a month which in turn could go towards the mortgage. They s...

If the bank won’t give you the money you 1000% can’t afford it. They were willing to give me 2X what I could afford.

Exactly, but either way... Foreign airlines, with foreign pilots, flying foreign aircraft, in a sovereign country full of its own airlines, pilots, and aircraft. We don't have a dearth of other options to accommodate the traveling public that justify these waivers. Why even have our own licensing, ...

It's an unsustainable business model without circumventing Canadian laws. Make it work year round. 17 year contract? Don't know what you're talking about there, had nothing to do with me, but in my opinion it seems a bunch of kids voted with a plan to leave and sold out the next crop. What laws hav...

Of course it's a problem. It lets a company circumvent our laws to run an unsustainable business model that skims the cherry seasonal flying to the detriment of the companies that only employ pilots with the right to work here, and somehow manage to do it year round. This puts downward pressure on ...

I think he means wanting out of instructing. Gets on with WEN but since he lives in YVR would prefer working at Jazz as there's the chance of a YVR base with them. I don't think he's really caring about one over the other, except for that. Exactly... After 18 months of instruction, it's time to mov...

In the 737NG I’ve used a sennheiser, telex 750/850, the DC Pro X, Bose A20 and the UFlyMike Harmony set up. My favourite by far was the Harmony. The 737 is incredibly loud for a jet. As for the no intercom, rubber bands, credit cards or coffee stir sticks do the trick. I’ve flown with way to many ol...

Just curious. So.....with all of this talk of whores and all.... What exactly is a non whore paycheck for a narrowbody? Left seat/ right seat; 300k/200k, 200k/150k, 150k/100k, 100k/ 60k? Neither westjet nor air Canada pay a whole lot on hiring. I am confused, stupid as I am. Looking forward to the ...

I would like to know what is the minimum FO age requirement of sky regional and what are the requirements to applying? age requirement ? whatever the legal age to work is. If you can work at McDonalds you should be able to work at Sky. If I’m not mistaken you need to be 21 to hold an IATRA Nope. I ...

I hope not. Can you imagine sitting in the front all day long with nobody to talk to?

That would make sense since flying the plane is the easy part. Dealing with different rules and operations at international airports is the hard part. That side of things wouldn’t be a big deal either. Westjet flies to quite a few different countries on this side of the pond so it’s not like they a...

Accident waiting to happen, actually already happened! At least 1 dead person needs to show up on the radar for the regs/ common sense to be enforced ! Was the crew running duty limits or 1 less attendant is not enough for the flight? Unusual, it seems , to deadhead a flight under these circumstanc...

I’m pretty sure no airlines would be interested in that. You would end up with an overpriced NG. The Max was all about fuel savings. You take that away and you have an airplane nobody wants.

Well apparently many well qualified 737 pilots have not been short-listed for interview which is puzzling. The chirpy add promising monthly classes for the foreseeable future has also been taken down, whether the MAX Kamikaze software fault and delay is to blame remains to be seen... Or an economic...

I have no inside knowledge whatsoever but if I were to take a guess it would be an outside travel company of some sort. If that were the case it would probably have little impact for the average employee. Something along the lines of the Sunwing, TUI arrangement. Maybe even TUI . #tuicanada

I was under 3 years from starting my PPL to hitting 1000. I also hit 4000 hrs before I turned 24. Is there a prize for that?

I heard that ground school are delayed due to the 737 max's crews are re-dispatched on the others 737.. Someone can confirm?

All pilots at Sunwing fly the -800 and Max.

I just leave it off. I find it nice to be unreachable once in a while.
