he admitted his responsibility in the entire situation to TC and the company... i guess they thought the other guy screwed up worse...

what about the guy who shows up at work to act as a crew member, throws up, braggs about it to all that will listen, throws up again, braggs some more, and then changes his story once TC is involved????

no hourly rates, just a flat salary... but considering most pilots dont reach 1000 hours, the hourly rate would probably work out pretty good... (my hourly rate on my last pay was about $157/hr) our schedule is based on 16 days worked... for the most part with the co operation of our crew scheduler ...

Hey Stu, I'm with you Maybe everyone is jealous because we pay Dash 8 captains 100K a year to be home every night, (FO's are paid higher then the 16 year FO at jazz) and as for those of us on the 703/704 fleet making 65K after a year, and up to 95K to fly a light twin half the month... i could see w...

ya, been up in YYQ and north for a week and lost raim i dont know how many times, in a plane with no DME... luckily the wx was pretty good all week... wonder whats up,

St Theresa Point to Island Lake (7nm) in a Dash 8 100, 2 mins 55 seconds wheels up to wheels down...

800 Pod
600 Nose

Just finished groundschool on that thing today, I hope I didnt screw that one up

TR correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that is our only one is over four years Operating the Dash 8? Says wonders about our MTCE and PW Engines...

I heard the guys were so bored with the routine that they shut one down just to spice things up a little bit...

Hmmmmmmmm,

It could have just as easily been a shooting star from our location, but it was in that direction (SW). We were enroute from Rankin Inlet to Churchill and remarked a a quick flash of a shooting star, i wonder if it was the same thing, but not as spectacular as we were so far away.

So what do you think Stu, lets you and me start up an air service to somewhere in Northern Mb, make it work for a while, then sell it to EIIF and retire... I can only hope GB made a little $ of this deal, but either way - competition, stay away!!! we have deeper pockets then you (when I say we, I me...

A little air to air

Taken last summer at North Seal River on a rescue mission with a Metro 3 prop in the back...
On the ramp in Repulse Bay Nu, Arctic Circle in February
And this summer on the ramp in Regina

Could be worse.... damn rights. You could be getting your layoff notice in Shamattawa. Or just still going their twice a day.

Great article in the latest Professional Pilot Mag aswell...

can't we all just get along?

There are few that stand with us static... but I'm glad to stand beside you!

Myth: the captain "ratted" out the guilty parties... it was someone else

wow... bang on

Well Gil, When it's 30 degrees outside, I would much rather be taking a Dash in and out of YST then a Metro 3, and especially a Metro 2 (although I have yet to have the pleasure). Can't comment on the 1900, but I believe it has a bit more power then (or is it than) the Metro 3, and its elevator prob...

No I mean operating a plane designed to take 12 Texans from Austin to San Antonio in and out of 3000 foot strips with 12 "Texans."
Thats where it gets a little tricky...

Bunch - depends on the day of the week it seems. We hired some people with 1500 hours of single engine time, a few with upwards of 5000 with some turbine PIC time, most usually spend close to a year in the right seat or more, just like those that come from the ramp with no time. Probably because the...

Yes we do hire FO's directly, but they are usually ones with a bunch of time... If you are at 250, you will probably have to work the ramp. As far as 250 goes, it's just a number, more or less they just want someone with CPL Multi IFR. If you finished your training in 200 hours, that wont hold you b...

Does this mean I can finally do a three flight day in the Dash again?
