WJ maintenance is currently relying on AME's working overtime. If they would refuse overtime, then operations would be severely impacted.

As an AME in YEG, I was day shift last week during the COLD snap and dealing with the Blue/Teal and Orange head starts. If you check the historical lows on Environment Canada WX site for YEG, we had a low of -45.9 on 12th, -45.3 on 13th and -45.1 on the 14th. The Boeing AMM requires heating when oil...

I have looked this up on the MDRA webpage in the past with an RV-4. It HAS to fly a minimum of 100 hours in the USA before it can be imported up here.

Where in the CAR's do I find when an aircraft requires a Maintenance Type Course? Piston helicopters = no course requirement, turbine helicopters = individual course. I have an individual course on the Boeings that maintain. Is a course required for a Cessna 441 or King Air??

Thanks!

As a 15+ year AME at WJ, I watched the executive team announce the merger with Sunwing. My take on watching this is that the team leading this once great company are a complete bunch of woke losers who couldn't manage a lemonade stand! Once I saw this team, I realized this company is DOOMED if they ...

What part of the country are you in?? I have helped a few guys in getting thier license through my shop.

I renewed mine Nov 25th. I had to update my Adobe on my computer to be able to read the online PDF form. It also took me a while to figure out the digital signature on the PDF form from the website. Once I figured that out, I paid the $40 and got my proof of payment. Emailed both items and I receive...

Clive Bedo always said that unions would be the end of Westjet.

So cabin crew is getting paid when you are waiting 30+ minutes for ATS to bring you in at YEG??

I watched a YouTube video and the claim was that the ADSb speed is GPS ground speed. Therefore, if the plane is almost vertical, the ground speed will be WAY lower than the actual AS.

Does anyone know what the price is these days for a new one?

I painted my first plane back in 1985 and have done many more since. What aluminum prep process do they use? What type (make and type) of primer? And what are they using for the topcoat (make and type)?

Nine kids!!!! Have you seen the movie Idiocracy?

My guess is that anyone who can pass an aviation medical, probably will not have a severe outcome if they catch this? I finally know some folks that have this. Both are late 50's. One got an extremely bad cough and shortness of breath, she is getting better on her own. The other friend is reporting ...

So once we get a shot. do we no longer have to wear the stupid fu@#ing mask?? Do we get a tattoo on forehead to show we have the shot? I'm considering going to Hawaii in January and seeing if I can pay for a shot.

So if my medical had expired prior to March, 2021, can I get a new medical anywhere, or is this all shut down still??

The ICS course IS the Jeppeson books. Most of the apprentices that I have helped study for their exams have used the Jeppeson material and passed the exams. You will needs to get the CARs for the AME book to pass the CARs.

Like mentioned above, junk all of the old, HEAVY radios. Unless you plan on flying lots in the winter, because they use so much power that they make great aircraft heaters! The most important avionics these days is a modern 760 channel comm radio and reliable transponder. With awesome apps like Fore...

Swoop flights are almost full, 170 plus guests.

I have the C-140 rigging and the brackets and bracing for the fuselage if you can find some 1650's. You can PM me if you need that stuff.
