Re: Serious Question on the Qatari 748

It is not a full comparison to what the VC-25B's are. It is said the aircraft will likely only be used domestically as it cannot measure up to fly overseas with the same "protections". The aircraft was stripped down to a point supposedly to check for "bugs", put back together with addition of milita...

Re: Middle East conflicts affecting Canada?

You have already stated the obvious, increased fuel prices. That will get passed down to the consumer level. Keep in mind that these increased fuel prices will have an impact on all consumer goods. You may see reduced travel demand as costs soar. A long and protracted war will have a disastrous effe...

Re: Upcoming Ground Schools

You may not agree with the process, however those with a standing bid get priority as they are on the "property". Most of the new hires are being placed on the Q and are based either YVR or YYC.

Re: YYC Base

As it stands now, there is not much flying out of YYC so a lot of the pairings will start and end with a DH. YYC is typically the "entry portal" along with YVR for Q new hire c...

Re: Cognitive test AC

The MMPI is not defined as a cognitive test. Once upon a time in addition to the MMPI they also administered a cog test to the candidate on a computer. Not sure if they still do it. The MMPI is a personality test.

Re: Tax SeasonDeductibles for Pilots

Fees you pay out of pocket to maintain your licence are deemed tax deductible, i.e. your medical. Meals and lodging can also be deductible provided you paid out of pocket. Any reimbursements you receive cannot be deducted. If you receive a per diem, no tax deduction is allowed. You will have to have...

If you pass the lantern test, it goes on your file and you will never get the test administered again. Theoretically colour vision...
