Re: Execaire is hiring for the Challenger in Winnipeg
I may be uniquely qualified to discuss the job opening in Winnipeg. I sat in that seat for the last 15 years and recently retired. For those who seek the job -- It is truly one of the best. The Winnipeg crew from groomers to maintainers thru pilots are an excellent bunch. The passengers you will bec...

Re: 3 Pilots 1 Plane Schedule Ideas
We have been doing this for years. 2 weeks on, 1 week off. It is CARs compliant and is good quality of life. Requires flexibility to cover training and other sundry day off requests.

Re: appreciate constructive tips to secure first f/o jet pos
Hi Old N I have been operating in the corporate world for over 40 years. I am a training captain on what most would say is heavy corporate iron. Here are a few things I have learned along the way. Resumes are far less important to Corporate operators than to the airlines. Pilot skills can be taught ...

Re: What was the first airplane you flew in?
7 April, 1961. Canadian Air Force North Star. Trenton Ontario to Germany. I was 7. We turned back about 3 or 4 hours into the flight. The U.S.A. had just invaded Cuba (Bay of Pigs). We stayed in Trenton for about a week wondering if WW3 was about to start. It did't, so my second flight to Germany wa...

Re: Lies, cover-ups mask roots of small aircraft carnage
Beech was once successfully sued when one of their airplanes tried to take off with only a couple of gallons of fuel in the tanks. Obviously the flight ended at the end of the runway but the courts ruled Beechcraft was at fault for for not telling the pilot he needed fuel to fly. FAA made them put a...

Re: Passport question re: travel to UK
I renewed my passport a few months ago here in YWG. I was in line at 1000hrs, waited no more than 30 minutes. When I got home around 1600 there was a message on my machine to come collect my new one!! Valid for ten years. I paid the higher price and told them I was on days off until I got the new on...

Re: New Paint for CAN FORCE One
I am not a big supporter of the new color. The blue does not reflect Canada's official colors. Of much bigger concern is how the media is portraying this as a $50000.00 paint job. Anybody who has painted any aircraft in the last few years knows that amount does not pass the smell test. It might refl...

Re: Logging Sim Time
Cut and paste from CAR 101.

Can you kill on demand? Can you die on command? That is all your country will require of you. When you try to get a civilian job you will need to find a company with ex military pilots because the rest will not like your skill set. Check the eye surgery thing very carefully. I know more guys who hav...

Re: Deadheading and duty day
It totally depends on whether the dead head is required by the company or just for your convenience.

If you are comuting back to your airplane because yo...
