Re: Huge discouragement

Where’s Keith D’Mello when you need him. I think roadrunner is in need of a good professional mentor.

Re: Porter Taildraggers

The one classified as an accident was on landing, now just over a month ago. There was also one during takeoff about a week and a half ago where the crew rotated before V1 in an effort to avoid some birds, and scraped the tail behind the tailstrike sensor.

Porter Taildraggers

Why do all the posts about Porter tailstrikes disappear? They've had two in the last month, both in the Soo.

Re: Have questions for YYZ Tower? Ask them here!

What are your thoughts on this:

Say there's an aircraft short 24R waiting for departure in the left lane and we are coming up behind them. Without you telling us which lane to be in, is it bad practice to take the other (right) lane and hold short? Especially if we are ready the immediate.

Thanks!

Re: Taxi Cab drivers UNIONIZE! Pilots?? Take notice.

To quote the article: "The main sticking point was the size of the fleet: Despite pledging to cap the number of cabs at 100, Airport Taxi Service had allowed the total to grow to more than double that, and it was continuing to expand. The situation was intensifying competition for fares, and dilutin...

Re: Pilot pay

The reason I asked about the Bell 206 pay was to point out that different types of flying by its very nature and based on the law of supply and demand will have a different value pay wise. For instance, flying as a F.O. for a major carrier on their smaller equipment will have a different pay scale ...

Re: Pilot pay

Also, if you're expecting me to give a number, you're entirely missing the point.

And I do fly for someone. A national carrier. And hey, I'm very happy with what I get paid - because if I wasn't, I wouldn't be here.

Re: Pilot pay

If you think I'm being vague, ask me to clarify a point. Otherwise your own attack is, ironically, vague.

Also, may I suggest you crack open an economics textbook?

Re: Pilot pay

I'm not sure what is so unclear about this Cat.

He would be worth exactly what he and the company both agree on.

Just like a painting is only worth $1,000,000 if someone else agrees to pay that much for it.

Re: Pilot pay

Who gets to decide what a reasonable rate is? You? The government? It's funny that you complain about the rates not being "reasonable", but then soon after go on to say that flying is a right, not a privilege. Well almost: it's actually an agreement. One where people agree to exchange money for a se...

Yes, but every operator I have worked at, it states right there in the COM: "deviation from SOPs is permitted whenever it would be the safest option" or something similar.

Re: Pilot pay

Where do you all come up with these arbitrary numbers?

You know what an acceptable pay is? It's the pay that I freely accept when I decide to work for a company. Here's a surprise: no one is forcing you to work at a job you don't feel is paying you fairly.

Re: Pilot pay

What ever happened to a market-oriented system determining the optimum level of pay for a job? These socialist pre-determined pays for generalized job titles across an industry worry me deeply.

The point of the exam is to get you to learn the material, not the specific answers to the TC questions. Study the material.

Re: A Day In The Life...

Woke up at my apartment downtown. I like living here, in Toronto, in the city, in my mid-twenties. It's fun. I draw energy from the city. Throw on the coffee-maker. It will sit ready before I am done my shower and shave. As I wake up, I'm grateful that my relatively-low seniority steers me towards m...
