We have to get away from this as an industry. Accepting short (ish) runways in thunderstorms and wet conditions with tailwinds. It keeps happening. I’ve been in this exact position from South America to Miami, heavy ish 767, although we didn’t have a tailwind. Told them we couldn’t accept due to op...

Why did they all save zero money? I've been saving since I was 20 with the goal to retire by 55. I can't understand how you could live through the period of greatest investment growth and way cheaper prices and still be broke after working for 45 years. It's so common though. They're all freaking b...

The YYC CRJ base has been living on borrowed time for years. The COVID shutdown followed by reduced resumption of YYC operations (particularly transborder) and the subsequent commercial decision by AC to abandon many YYC city pairs and reinforce that YYC was not a hub should have logically triggere...

I have a type rating for a MU2 I flew 30 years ago. I could fly it privately now as I have a valid instrument rating and meet the currency requirements. The insurance company would be the biggest hurdle.

If fuel exhaustion caused this crash, the tanks would have been empty sitting there on the side of the road. TSB will have checked them by now. To their credit, they have recently been divulging key information within days of accidents. Certainly, I would expect them to have said the aircraft ran o...

Rampie's union???? Rampie got me wrote me up for starting and engaging GPU for my RJ when the APU shut itself down.

Quit your airline job to go fly a Beech to qualify for a better airline job? What an industry. And people wonder why that AC guy forged his ATPL. He was probably 0.1 hours short in some pointless category like night xc PIC and facing having to pay for it. Exactly. TC is backwards. How does leaving ...

The previous requirements allowed you to get an ATPL without essentially leaving the circuit. With this being a very recent change to standardize with ICAO even TC Licensing and Flight Ops are still working out the process. The ACP manual says the ACP must seek/involve TC for approval to do a PIC PP...

Is it really that outrageous? The RCMP, most city police departments, fight fighters, paramedics, nurses, and doctors to name a few have as little as 12 hrs between toking and working, just like the CARS for alcohol. Not supporting either way but I know of operations where dispatchers, crew schedule...

Sure, I'll stop being a dick. Pelmet starts a thread "..bad info pilots can be given" and then condescend them by stating "Amazing." And lastly quote the CADORs. The pilots were told that there were flames coming out the tailpipe. Not by just a passenger, but also a "Crew member". They declared an ...

For co-pilots, the PPC rule will change to allow a PIC PPC to obtain ATPL Says who? Why would companies pay for FO to do a pic ride which will give them the atpl which means they can leave the company? If they are due for their recurrent training anyway, the upgrade training and PPC is the right av...

The Jazz YHZ pilot base closed over 15 years ago. The flight attendant base is closing in a few weeks. Jazz used to have a temporary Q400 base in YHZ over covid of 30 pilots I think. My understanding is they never wanted to open a permanent Q400 base just because Air Canada changed equipment on rou...

The RAMEs have been trigger happy lately and surprising both pilots and their CAMEs with additional tests when they visit their CAME for a renewal. We all know that doing your medical with 30 days of expiry is the most practical so adding request like stress tests (example only) essentially grounds ...

Also ,keep in mind ANYONE can file a CADORS, not just controllers. Airport operators and pilots alike can file them too. Really? How does a pilot make a CADORs entry? Remember, no one "Files a CADORS" directly, so I may have used incorrect phraseology. CADORS is just the term for the amalgamation o...

I've seen many FOs, even at small airlines, remain as FO's if they don't need the money or the "glory", and prefer getting the schedule and time off they want even though the Company wants to upgrade them.

Will they still be short controllers and closing towers at night? Most likely yes as the budget will be reduced. YWG and YLW aren't exactly in the back 40 like some of the FSS's are. Why are they short staffed? Late October isn't exactly prime vacation time like the summer and Christmas.

Any truth to the YYZ Q400 base closing and YTZ base opening? Claude trying to get a full paid move out of it? Lol, first of all Claude “flys” the RJ, so a Q400 base closure won’t affect him! Second, unless the union comes to an agreement, we have four bases, YYZ, YYC, YUL, YVR, they are in the coll...

The giant difference being that the RNAV (GPS) Y 20L has a WAAS LPV glide path. If I recall correctly YHZ was done on a LOC using vertical speed to create a pseudo glide path (not even Baro VNAV). Are the older 319 FMS capable of LPV approach? Report makes it seem that DA was above 200’ AGL which i...

I wouldn't hold your breath for a shrinking civil service. That would result in them having to admit they imported a lot people with no jobs for them other than the ones they invented. Hopefully it will be easier than you think because they can blame it on the drama teacher with the fancy socks. Ho...

Wow!!!!!! Left empty and had a lighter load coming back, didn't bother to fill the other tip tank and had two opportunities to top up fuel. Had a GPS and weather wasn't an issue for navigation. Sounds like a hot date back in town. At least he didn't kill his pax because of it.

How many pilots per class when we move to two per month? I'm not in the hiring department, but I believe they will be "full" classes. We had a few half classes the last couple months, but we are back to full classes (~20-30?) moving forward. Hiring 40–60 pilots a month again — that’s aggressive, es...

2nd hand info is that both aircraft were in the circuit. Aircraft on final elected to do missed approach/balked landing due to an aircraft still on the runway during takeoff roll. Shortly after takeoff, this aircraft climbed and struck the aircraft on the missed approach/balked landing. I apologize ...

I see a similar trend here except for the YRT crash
