Re: WJ Hiring

AR jockeys are headed out the door when they lose arbitration in August. That makes 200+ eligible for manditory retirement in the next 2 years. Not everyone retires at 65 as well. Always a reactive solution rather than proactive. How can you be so sure that they are going to lose the arbitration? W...

Re: 170 to the FAF

I can see the 170 to the being a problem when you fly a ferry for instance. VREF could as low as 135 kt.

Re: Speed Got Too Low

Victoria from Cun is about 6 hours.
So this plane was loaded with fuel.
So unless there were few pax, it certainly couldn't achieve this rate of climb.

Re: WestJet to Integrate Flair soon?

The FOM says to advance to full thrust initially.
Then, you adjust it.
So it is whatever you think works.

In the FOM also the PM is supposed to adjust the thrust.
In the FTCM the PF is supposed to do it.

There are a few things that are done online that doesn't match the FTCM.

LCR Long call reserve. The company must give you a minimum of 14hrs notification. However report time can fall out of your RAP. It means that they can't call you but they will put the pairing on you schedule and you are expected to check and acknowledge. Also during a 5 day block if you get called a...

Re: Bad training experience has made me question finishing

I can tell you that I'm in a very similar position. I started my PPL in late 2018 and am currently at a little over 300 hours with multi IFR and nearly done my CPL after spending over $100,000.
