They need to have seat sizers in the boarding lounge the same way there are bag sizers, with gate agents scoping out fatties the same way they do with oversized carry-on. "Excuse me ma'am, you'll need to sit in the seat sizer". If their disgusting lard ass spills over outside the sizer: "I'm sorry m...

http://m.therecord.com/news-story/7156230-uw-grads-take-to-the-skies-with-sunwing Don't get me wrong, at 250 hours, I would have killed for an opportunity like this. However, the flight deck should be two experienced professionals working together, not an on-the-job training, teacher-student envirm...

Are there many accidents/incidents where props went through the fuselage? I can't find many recently.

I guess bombardier are not done with this story.

In 2011, a Wasaya BE02 had a prop blade depart the hub and breach the fuselage in Kasabonnika, ON.

Rumor has it that two dash captains just stabbed every other pilot that works there in the back. Anybody know more? Quite the opposite. One Dash captain had the courage to stand up to management when they tried to spring a $12,000 bond after he and three others (all internal and already typed) were...

http://jalopnik.com/this-is-the-most-embarrassing-plane-pooping-story-ever-1456846301 Just over halfway through the flight, all the coffee in my stomach feels like it's percolating its way down into my lower intestine. I hunker down and try and focus on other things. What feels like an hour, but pro...

Hey, just wondering if anyone has been called for an interview with Flair yet. I got a call on Tuesday with some preliminary questions (some very odd), and then they said they would be calling for interview invites before the weekend. Has anyone heard anything?

Get rid of the airport manager, the consultants and regretfully the ILS. You can't afford the upkeep on any of them. Get a WAAS GPS approach to replace the ILS, and it won't take much to find a replacement for the airport manager, by the sounds of it. It looks like this is already the case. The RNA...

Are you excited about your new job in YYC? Are you NOT excited about finding a place to live? Maybe you're already living here and are sick of the sh*thole crash pad you're living in? Well....problem solved! A little bit about the place: Basement sweet of an immaculate brand new house, fully furnish...

Kind of weird watching the video and hearing "ching chong bing bong" instead of "Roger we have a roll program, go at throttle-up and standby for SRB sep"

Off topic, but, it was my understanding that English is the national language of aviation. Why are they speaking to each other in Spanish?

Yes, this is a shameless plug, however METRO newspaper has put on a competition where the applicant with the most votes will receive a trip into space on board Space Exploration Curacao's "Lynx" spacecraft - slated for launch 2013-2014. The following is my little sob story on the application: "Anyon...

...and somehow manage to squeeze 40 hours of ground school into there.

I found this add on Facebook and thought it would be good for a laugh.

It had been a couple years since I had flown a light single, and I was beginning to miss it. I decided recently to get checked out at one of the local FTUs to rent a 172. The instructor was a very green Class IV, who had his own little box, where if anything was done outside of his box, it was consi...

I imagine there would also be a ridiculous bond to go along with that "extraordinary" wage.

And now we dive even deeper into the shitter.

You would be correct. 2 years for the metro II. How many companies do you know that bond 2 years for a 703 machine????

HST was voted out of BC a few months ago now....you shouldn't get anything in the mail for that.

I had a close friend pass away in a 185 crash in early December. I asked the CP if I could have a day off to head home to YVR for the memorial. Even before I finished my sentence, he responded with "absolutely", and then made sure I was aware of grievance councilling that was available within the co...

I do not remeber when ( about 20 years ago), I do not remember the airline, but there was a passenger in a hotel bar, watching 3 guy's drinking in the bar( I guess for entertainment) there were large amounts of alcohol consumed. Two of the guys had to carry one of the guys out of the bar at closing...

I think it's been some time since either of these gents have been granted access to an oyster ditch.

Wow...I cannot believe how much of a sh*t about this I do not give!

I know someone who just got on the CRJ with them.

ya, the entire concept of "complex" is undefined. constant speed, retractable with flaps as defined by TC. Careful there you don't want to be telling Cat Driver his beloved Canso isn't a "complex" aircraft :wink: haha I should add, seaplane's with constant speed and flaps http://info.skyquest.ca/do...

You will not need to know these for an INRAT. This is the basic approach ban (no ops spec) for commercial ops. The INRAT covers only GA approach bans (RVR). Good luck tomorrow.
