Thank you so much for reaching out. I've heard so many varying descriptions of Barrick over the years, I thought I would try and actually speak to someone that has spent time there. Would you mind answering a few questions? Could you describe the scheduling there? Do crews rotate to meet the aircra...

I flew for them until '22

It depends on the aircraft type and a bit of "luck of the draw" on instructors at said training facility - they all have good, bad and ugly. In this climate it is VERY tough to keep good people. Unfortunately, it also heavily depends on if the type course for the aircraft is still in production. Bot...

Let me restate my OP with less context so you guys can stay focused on what I really meant to discuss: I recently learned that the FAA will not allow Canadian pilots aged 65 and over to fly under Part 703 and 704 to the USA. It was a surprise to me, I did not know this. However, US pilots 65 and ov...

I recently began to inquire about flying jobs that could be found once one hits age 65. I wrongly thought that when flying corporate for a Canadian company it was possible to fly to the United States. I had looked at the US regulations and found that under Part 135, there was no age limit. I was na...

You will not find much regarding 604 training requirements in the CARs. The training requirements of a private operator are listed in their own OPS manual and approved by Transport, those individual training requirements are dependant on the needs of each operator. That being said most Turbine 604 o...

Fltplan.com meets my needs nicely. It’s cost effective and the owner certainly likes that! (Canada/U.S, the Bahamas and the odd South American trip) Can anyone comment as to the advantages of using Colt or others and their respective pricing points? Fly safe, TPC We use Colt for all our internation...

I used to work for them and boy let me tell you was it a top notch operation. I wouldn't even worry about the pay rates because they are such a pleasure to fly for that no amount of money will take away from the absolute joy you feel when you're called in with plenty of notice to operate a transatl...

That was CIBC

Local Calgary POC operations, upgrading from a Piaggio into a jet (probably something along the lines of a mid or super mid). Being a fellow pilot, I’m not one to argue or complain that there’s a high demand out there, but qualifications requirements of just 500 hours seems low for a jet which is p...

Yes but that’s irrelevant to the TFW. In order to renew their permit their employer has to prove that they tried and failed to employ someone who meets those residency conditions. Oh good point It's likely a short term position. With the WJ purchase Onex has garnered a lot of 'store credits' at Boe...

Canadian regulations allow it for private operators. I’ll assume this plane was US registered. Does FAR part 91 (private operators) even have duty limits? I don’t think they do. Extension of Flight Duty Period [SOR/2018-269, s. 18] 604.101 If a flight crew is augmented by at least one flight crew m...

We fly with augmented crews in the G550 quite frequently.

It would appear the CBAA and GTAA are having open and engaged discussions about the process. Anthony Norejko is providing continuous updates on the CBAA member forums.

Still more questions than answers regarding slot tolerances or penalties.

Upgraded, to a G550
