Re: Sunwing- Hiring Pilots from Germany

Sorry about the last post. :idea:

I just realized that this job posting is just to prove that there are no Canadian foreigners.

Which of course means they can hire a Bangladeshi to manage this position.

Re: Sunwing- Hiring Pilots from Germany

Would like to apply and go work there. I might be prone to moments of rash decision making. Loosing paperwork. And otherwise making it nearly impossible for SUNG VING to be properly staffed at the last minute.

What would they do fire me and hire a foreigner.

Re: B737 Classic or Kingair, What is your Choice?

Re: Removal of "Variation" on New Approach Plates

Ok so I digress a bit.... This is what I want to know. Why is it that in some airports you can shoot an ILS or a CAT II to minimums that allow you to land when you don't have the legal visibility to taxi at the airport? Then to make matters worse you have to break out the CFS which is basically a VF...

BIG RED is the equivalent of a terminal patient on life support.
Yes the family can come say goodbye but they had better hurry.
Soon the DR. will have no choice but to pull the plug.

Re: sky regional leasing 5 q400s from jazz? news article err

They have then been subleased to Sky Regional Airlines aka "Air Canada Express" for 5 years, which is now also a registered trad...
