Re: How long until you hear back from AC?

I know someone who came over from Jazz last fall, drew the bottom straw, has ow done the 220 course but can’t get any flying. Yet they’re still running multiple course dates?

Re: Challenger 600 crashes on Florida highway

No word yet on who survived out of the 5 on board. An eye witness claims three people walked away and were speaking with police. The aircraft also hit a truck — driver OK. Will this plane have both CVR & FDR? Hopefully some dashcam video will surface that might help the NTSB. I Live not far away and...

Re: Do you feel safe as a passenger when the captain has minimal hours on type?

Rephrase the question to include total time. I have several friends who were AC Captains on several types (always increasingly bigger of course) and so on their first day on the line they naturally had fewer hours on type than their FO. I think what you're trying to get at is brand new shiny Captain...

AC Jetz

How does AC crew this operation? Is is something any pilot can bid for, or is it crewed separately?

China must be laughing at the US. Did not detect , freaked out for a few days debating what to do, full-on media frenzy, then shoot it down and lose the all-important payload. Full-on speculation about what the payload was, maneuverability of ’balloons’. Oh, and doesn’t their beloved Airspace top ou...

Re: Number of commercial pilot licences issued in Canada has collapsed since 2019

Slightly off topic, but I am curious about the current generation of TC licences issued, in terms of licence number. I was first licenced in 1978 and have a six-digit #, 232XXX. (Actually at that time there was also the prefix, mine being YZ and then the licence type.

You guys are confusing Acronyms (which you actually pronounce, like NOTAM or RADAR) and Abbreviations such as ILS or BOTL.
