To understand TVS corporate safety culture, one should look at the QS-1125 incident this summer.

Why is it that aviation in Canada keeps managing to find ways to go backwards There is a very simple fix for that. Have all the unions band together and lobby for 1500 hr and a real ATPL (none of that frozen BS) in order to operate a 705 airliner. Instead we have corrupt unions who facilitates cade...

I’ve always said this would happen. It’s the next logical step for Canadian aviation. Most of the other countries you don’t have to “pay your dues” up North or work as a flight instructor. You simply finish your training and get on with an airline in a mentor ship role. Sit as a Second officer and ...

Disgusting.

We’ll see how strong the military industrial lobby is. Precedent was set when the US DOJ attested, jailed and charged the VW executives for the so-called diesel emissions scandal. Haven’t seen any Boeing execs mugshots yet, but then again how much Boeing have legally bribed the duopoly (repubs and d...

As an AC pilot ( Captain) , I will continue to make the PA's using the term " Ladies and Gentlemen". Then again, I greet people with a "Merry Christmas " and also " Happy Easter" when celebrating those holidays. I also wear a poppy proudly. I cannot remember one negative comment from the crew or pa...

I believe there is a GS planned at the end of October ...

Correct. The Canadian govt would label it an essential service and force arbitration ...

In addition, I am a visible minority. How much of a hindrance can this pose during road trips, and applying to smaller 703 operations? I am born and raised in Canada so I speak fluent English, however, I have been told by several friends and family that I'll never find a job in aviation due to this...

Recession or not, there will always be doritos and coca cola going to the "communities" up north. And there will always be people from those same communities requiring medical services. There will be forest fires requiring some kind of detection plane, farmers who needs their field sprayed, rig pigs...

The ol' metro is a lot of airplane for a 600hr wonder, especially in winter. Carson had a low experienced Capt in a green on green situation do a runway excursion in Regina on a "PMA" ILS couple of years ago (I believed they touched down something like 8000' long). As far as I'm concerned, Kingair o...

I know there are a few commuters that chose to go home during initial sim and use WJ: Be very careful. That rule is enforced by some WJ gate agents and the penalty for using the JS before LC is completed is severe: they can ban you for 1-2 years and even thought it's pretty rare, some agents do chec...

Or the start of a Chinese uprising towards democracy, look at what happened in the Middle East. Democracy. :? Like in Libya where the ‘western funded moderates’ sodomized Gaddafi with a knife after he threatened to dump the US petrodollar in favour of a pan-African currency based on the Libyan gold...

Why is this asshole still allowed to pimp his ridiculous YouTube channel?

In a 705 level operation these types will eventually get washed out by the training department, either through failed initial, line indoc or recurrent. Or if they are able to just scrape by then they will remain career FO's. If you have serious concerns then you should bring that up to your chief p...

That’s some next level boomerposting. 8) MY SON SET ME UP WITH AN AD BLOCKER AND I'VE NEVER LOOKED BACK APPARENTLY IF EVEN WORKS ON THE YOUTUBES BUT I HAVEN'T CHECKED ------------------------------------------------------------ -DONNY "STICKS" MALONE -USCG 1967-1982 -ALL GAVE SOME, SOME GAVE ALL YUP...

Listing on AC through myID also gives me the "General Availability Error." message.
WJ listing still works fine so I don't believe it's an issue with our company MyID account.

Also as reliable as the PT6 is ... I’d say at least 10% of the pilots I know, over the years, had to shut one down. Wasn’t always the typical fire/flameout but it required the crew to shut it down and manage the plane to a safe landing. I’ve seen HP oil hose blown, FCUs failure, stuck torque, fuel s...

Having flown both, I massively disagree. Sure they kinda fly similarly on the line and flying the PC12 in a multi crew cockpit somewhat gets you in the mindset of 705 operation with proper FMA scans and calls and PF/PM roles (although the PC12 is absolutely much more of a single pilot designed AC th...

Geee wiz, even a free 737NG type rating isn't sufficient to attract a 1500hr flight instructor/'ho driver. One could only wonder why ... Also I've heard those internal upgrade courses are going great.... Wow, some posts! Two questions: How are the upgrades going at your own Sunwing?! And have pilot...

Maybe if they stay quiet and refuse to name their benefactors they’ll be rewarded with a full pardon and employment at Transat like Capt Crossfeed

Yes! I've received another email last october, telling me that all GS for 2018 was filled and that my file will be kept active for a period of 12 months, so, till october 2019... Same thing happened to the guys in the May 2019 course. You’d probably be done your course by now if it wasn’t for the M...

They do have a medical portion now but it’s one dude with a lab coat and he tosses a bar of soap and times how long it takes for you to bend over to pick it up.
