Save a buck? Hasn't this concept been beaten to death? Basically... if you have to go away to a flight school (ie move from home), paying for living and tution, your basically paying the exact same amount if if you lived at home and went to a local flying club. And as for being against flying paid f...

So here's a question then. Where does all the money the college gets to give people all this nifty training go when they don't give it to the students?? Probably to buy those high speed orange gloves that the students refuel airplanes with. Basically, No flight schools should be government subsidize...

455 is for champs

If you decide to live at 455 James St., just remember... You are REQUIRED to be a champion. Being a champion requires getting wasted on a regular basis... SMASHING things. Setting your kitchen on fire. Puking all over yourself and dominating sluts. That house is not a sanctuary for sallies. Go to co...

Endless, You hit it right on the head. In my opinion that is completely unacceptable. What if Sault College told their current second year students that they would not be receiving a mult-ifr, and they would not be getting any compensation for it. You can bet the college would have a situation on th...

Sorry to burst your bubble, but towing at a gliding club most of the time usually isn't as easy as just walking in the door and asking for a towing gig. First of all, most gliding clubs want their towpilots to have a glider license and some soaring experiance. It makes the operation run that much sm...

What's the progression at Perimeter?

I assume its off the ramp into co-joe on Metro, down on to the Baron for a bit then back onto the Metro?

Also, how is the wait shorter if you go through the flight school?

Cheers!

I had just been given the "all out" signal to begin the launch of the glider that was connected to the back of my Citabria. Just as I had added full power, I noticed that I had left the window open. However, instead of bringing the power to idle and shutting the window and resuming, or, just ignorin...

I have a question about training time requirements toward a commercial license.

I was just wondering if someone could clairify/confirm this. For a privately registered airplane involved in a non-commercial operation, the maintenance schedule is as follows: An annual inspection every 12 months OR every 100 hours of air time, whichever comes first. Is this the reg, or am I mistak...

I can see the arguement saying that we should can subsidized programs like at sault or confed, but don't think for a second its any cheaper.

Listing 'soon to have' qualifications on a resume...?

I've got a question about submitting your first resume to employers. Is it a good idea to send out resumes to companies with qualifications listed that you don't have at that moment but will have on or before the proposed date of hiring? I know what some of you are thinking... but take this for exam...
