If you are talking about the quality of the first aviation job (salary, vacation, benefits, equipement), then Europe is probably the best.

If you are talking about the chance of actually getting that first aviation job, Canada is really hard to beat...

They should have taken a bottle out of the back and sprayed it on the wing. If it's good enough for northern Manitoba, it should work anywhere!

He's an effing drama teacher and he can't even act like a professional. I'm curious, what was your first job out of school? Should we all make fun of you because of your first job after finishing school, ofc assuming you did finish... JT did a bachelor of art in literature at McGill, then a bachelo...

As for annual inspections at the tiedown, I think it's a poor idea, and I think that the type of owner who wants that work done this way is not the type of client I'm attracted to. It's a great service if you want to pick up clients. A tie down might be a bit of a stretch, but plenty of folk with a...

Note that you don't actually have to *do* poor work to get sued for poor work. The lawyers acting for the young widow (with three now fatherless children) of your customer who died in the plane crash are going to sue everyone involved, the manufacturer of the plane, NavCanada, Transport Canada, the...

Time to go fly in Langley, trigger some CADORs and blame them on the NOTAM system

Cool! With a service like that, I wouldn't expect you to operate at a cheaper rate. If you do want to operate less expensive, give the money back as extra customer service: fixing mistakes, only charging for travel if you are there for a whole day (eg don't show up at 5 pm, be unable to finish the j...

I all my years flying I never felt that anyone put pressure on me to go flying. I don't get it, if your boss asks you why you won't go and are there anymore options to consider (routing or delay). Why do pilots perceive this as pressure to go. That's not a problem. It's a problem when your boss *te...

1) I am assuming that the aircraft needs to be C registered before requesting it moved to “owner maintenance”. Am I correct in assuming that it can be registered as a Canadian aircraft without having to do an import inspection? Without an import inspection you can only get a temporary registration....

If you're a Canadian there's plenty to see right here. The north is magical, at least in the summertime.

Do you want to fly over it, or land on it?

Single pilot night flying might not be the best idea...

It might only be cargo, but a cargo plane crash still makes a big crater on the ground.

And he is asking you 4 dollars more than the other guy who posted it here. Might be a sign that nobody is paying.

Devil's advocate time. The Millennial's have very few people to blame for outrageous real estate prices but themselves. Not many years ago, no one (and I mean no one) paid the asking price on a house. You always negotiated down. If someone outbid you, you walked away. I look at people bidding the p...

If you want to be a bit of a devil's advocate, an incident like this might be grounds for the FAA to look a bit deeper into the engine and ETOPS certification. One would hope they didn't cut any corners for that certification. Could turn ugly... Especially considering another boeing had similar issu...

Pretty good video. Spin during an intro flight is probably a bit unnecessary. Someone in the YouTube comment section noted Pedro appears to be on a phone call at 8:06 in the video as well (his phone is on his lap and looks to be connected to his A20’s), around the time the reviews are brought up wh...

Yeah, it's all funny until the money starts rolling in.

Is that how much you spent on that website?

Save your money, buy a passport to any other country and then invest in yourself by leaving to go anywhere but Canada. Best money you will ever spend. The culture of this forum should be enough to convince you of that already. :up: NAILED IT !! I think some people are suffering from the "grass...

I stalked a prospective employer once when he told me I could expect to get the job and he was going to call with details. He never called, and after 2 weeks of dodging my calls I went full stalker and called him 3 times a day. Eventually he answered the phone and told me -with an explanation- why I...

If Crash into someone and put them out of work.. my insurance/ I am sued as compensation to the victim for loss of career, mental suffering etc. Putting people out of work is causing damage / suffering on a massive scale even if it’s to stop a virus. Sure, but suing the government would be more lik...

It's a shame. Understandable I guess as well. But they always have been from the philosophy of attracting as many applicants as possible, giving them a chance and selecting the best they could find. Hope they can maintain those standards.
