The tunnel brings you into the terminal but you can still walk over to the FBO.

I'm not from that side of the country therefore was asking about housing etc... I was also curious about parking? Do most pilots drive to work and is there dedicate parking? Are there any flight benefits for my wife? And are there any agreements with other airlines ex ac or wj? It's nice to hear th...

Our airline requires a flight attendant to replace the pilot when they leave the flight deck for the bathroom. This should be common place - surprising that it isn't.

Is Porter even making a profit? Have they ever? No one knows... If you really want to make one last career step, jazz would be safer in my books. Not saying porter isn't a great company, but where do they go from where they are now? Those exansion plans, if they ever happen, will be mighty risky in...

The solution to this is so simple: Make overselling flights illegal. Somebody can correct me on this (I'm sure), but in what other industry can you sell a product that doesn't actually exist? What would happen if promotion companies could oversell concerts or hockey games. It would be the lead news...

Saw this the other night too. Our ground crew said they taxied into a ditch or something between taxiway A4 and A on it's way for departure off of 24L. There's a CADORS for it but I only came across a French version. Looked like the right main gear collapsed but I can't be sure. It was dark out.

Batteries on board the 787 are indeed Lithium Ion.

I had a little trouble with mainline United out of EWR. The check-in agent didn't really understand how to list me but eventually figured it out. I had to be very patient! Try telling them you're traveling as an OCM - Observing Crew Member. This is their term for jumpseater. My understanding is that...

You have two choices. 1. Pay out the bond. 2. Tell Air Canada that you are in an employment contract and that you'd like to defer the course until a later date. If you were waiting for Air Canada to call, you probably shouldn't have accepted a job with a training bond unless you were willing to pay ...

Which weirdly enough had much of the data deleted recently. And his family moved out of their home the day before the accident. He's a grandfather and his kids are grown up and don't live at home. His wife often stays with her one of her children when he's away on a trip. News articles reference hi...

In this context:

Narrow body = single aisle like B737, B757, A320

Wide body = twin aisle like B767, B777, A330/340, MD11

So if this is what GGN will be paying or close to it, does this make those pilots at Sky Regional nervous? After all they undercut Jazz to take CPA work away from them. Now GGN will be undercutting everyone. Maybe those E175s will find their way to GGN in the future. You reap what you sow I suppose.

These programs have been around for years. MSD is just a relatively new player targeting low time Indian pilots. Eagle Jet International has had these types of schemes for ages. It's disheartening to read so many posts on PPRUNE from people wanting to pay to fly.

The day of a single-pilot airliner is not far... Not far, eh? Give me a break. I don't want to start another debate about this but please enlighten us with how close they are to accomplishing that in civil aviation? The A350 hasn't even had its first flight yet and it is a two crew airliner destine...

How is Porter financing this expansion, $2.3 billion not including the airport expansion, who is lending this much money and taking on all the risks. Porter doesn't have much equity and is barely breaking even, you have to have a strong balance sheet and revenue to be able to take on this much debt...

None. Absolutely none.

And at the TTC it's $23.59 an hour plus benefits and a pension.

That's a better package than what Encore is offering FOs.

...with GUARANTEED Flowthrough to WJ. Since when is it guaranteed? 1 in 4 is not a guarantee. Just like the salary; you're only guaranteed 70 hours.

Maybe they should offer a more competitive salary instead of dangling a carrot if they want "good" people to apply at Encore and not mainline?
