Re: Can Canadians work in europe with an ATPL?

Depends where the plane is registered. There are tax shelter spots that accept a canadian licence where many european aircraft are registered. But the right to work in EU is a totally different thing.

Re: Virgin America cancels Toronto service . . .

We hope to return to YYZ at some point, but in the smaller Toronto-West Coast markets we were not able to stimulate demand as quickly as we would have liked. Cough, cough, cough, bullsh!t, cough, cough, cough. Lifted from Wikipedia: U.S. Census estimates released in 2008 indicated that there were 1...

Re: HID landing lights

You won't notice any difference unless there is a change to the lens as well. If you see some ricer cars that have added them aftermarket and you get the crazy glare and it is because the are using lenses made for regular lights. You often get worse light output by switch to HIDs and not upgrading t...

Pretty sure it is in front of Delta's hangar. My friend who flies for Delta called me a couple days ago asking about who EnerJet was and said one of there planes was parked at his hangar in Atlanta.

Re: Cessna Cardinal 40th Birthday Convention

The cardinal is a sweet little plane. I flew a fixed gear version with 180hp and they are a lot faster than a 172. They are also really light on the controls. You could crank steep turns with just a finger on the controls. Great plane for low level surveillance :)

Re: Where do you even start?

Steam time isn't bad. I am on my first jet now and I left the glass and FMS of my King Air behind for the steam of my Citation. Honestly once you get over the initial learning curve of the glass it is way easier than steam.

Re: Holding Bay on Dead End Runway

Could a landing aircraft not wave the 200ft rule for another aircraft. I can't count how many times I have been told there are mowers/construction or other stuff within the 200ft and then asked by tower/fss is this is alright or do I want them moved. And I have never heard any one asking for it to b...

Re: False bankruptcy rumor destroys United Airlines stock value

I think US Airways is the closest to going under.

They have started charging for everything lately. You want any drink it will cost you $2. You wan...

Re: Low level flying

I spent my first 2000 or so hours low level on pipeline patrols and wildlife surveys(hence my handle). We generally did the pipeline patrols around 300ft. But there were times when we had to go lower to get a look at something or the survey required it. Anyone considering flying below 500 better kno...

Re: Subaru Outback vs. Honda CR-V?

Subarus are awesome. I have had my WRX now for 3 years and don't think I will be buying any other brand for a long time. In the fall we will be buying the wife a new turbo forester. Go subaru all the way you won't be disapointed.

Edit* Plus the AWD of the Subaru is far far superior.

I get about $750 a month in Perdiems at Jazz. Thats the one spot they at least pay fairly well.
Is that $750 pretty average or is that one of the better months?

Employment expenses for all, if you have a job and possibly tuition for ATPL stuff if you don't. Not sure about medical if you are not yet working, you can put it in medical expenses but it won't do anything unless you have a lot of medical expenses.

200hr pilot=200lbs=30mins of fuel

After flying the Van for over 600hours and have multi crew experience in other planes I would prefer the extra fuel. The Van is an awesome machine but extremely easy to fly, slow and not complex. No real need for a co-pilot.
