Re: Driving a nicer car than your boss....

Why not!

Actually if you want to blend in on the parking lot and sell your wife on "utility" get an BMW X3 M. Bunch of power and does 0-60 in 3.3.

Re: Flight training with masks?

I didn’t claim to be an expert i just stated my experience with 30 years in the field. Understood. You're a brave soul who won't be told what to do. You still didn't say what makes you skeptical of masks. Nothing, I guess. I don't think there is anything to do with being brave, Kejidog is just info...

Re: CEWS

That was in my list of business ideas as well. It seems the photography/videography side of drone flying is becoming saturated but lots of opportunities in industries like agriculture, construction and lidar aerial survey. Also some seriously good Infrared capabilities now too. My idea was to get a...

Re: The Return to Normal?

Your math is wrong. Let’s see at the end of this what all the fuss was about. My bet is this Covid-19 lockdown will go down as the biggest “avoidable” economic blunder in the entire history of humanity. The statistics and mortality rate will answer all you “lockdown-loving”, home-made mask wearing ...

Re: Jazz to launch pay for type rating program

Just goes to show you how arbitrary the selection process is. There's a number who shouldn't be here but one individual in specific, I am absolutely shocked was hired. Based on their Jazz training record it should have been an auto PFO. Either they lied in their interview, or multiple failed rides ...

Re: Air Taxi Franchise idea?

This topic was brought back from 2004. I am not sure if anything came up from this, but the question is would this type of service with the uber flair be viable today?

Re: Ground school classes for 2019

Just patience pls. Recruiting folks are working hard around the clock. Lots of pilots seem to interview. I am guessing that the July 24 meeting will shed some light.

When did you interview?

Re: Setting pitch trim for takeoff

Simple singles are set in the middle. Other bigger birds have book settings depending of thr CoG.
If you do it too much nose down, you have to haul ass to rotate that sucker. If it’s too far nose up, you can strike a tail. So do whatever book says.

Re: More grist for the F18 replacement mill..

I was watching today’s review at the Paris airshow and Rafale did well. I don’t know if retooling to go french might work. There is another next gen fighter that is replacing Rafale and is supposedly easy upgrade path (source: Dassault brochureware).

Re: Westjet Encore Video Interview

Video interview is quite good. You will get some practice questions and plenty of chance to set your self up well. Have a good computer with camera and good mike.

There are 5/6 questions of standard hr type why you, why WestJet?

Good luck
