Re: Corporate vs Airlines
Apply for both, and take whichever one calls first? You might not have the choices that you think you do...one 'wrong' answer in the interview process..

ILS question
Having a discussion at work: are you allowed, legally, to fly an ILS down to circling minimums, using an autopilot? That is, can you engage the A/P in approach mode, have it fly a coupled approach, and then hit altitude hold or disconnect at the MDA, and (assuming that you have the ceiling/vis) brea...

Re: Canadian housing Prices / Wages
Yup. That would actually solve the problem. If people move, eventually wages would have to go up or housing prices would need to come down. Ain't gonna happen in Vancouver. It's seen as being a nice place to live, internationally; air and water are clean, politics are stable, crime is negligible, e...

Re: Instrument and instructor training at the same time?
My opinion, FWIW, would be to do one at a time. Looking back, my 1st IFR was a bit of a struggle - lots of new stuff to learn and think of, and all the while still using a fair amount of CPU time just to keep 'er straight and level. After a year and a half instructing, and then 6 months on a 185, my...

Re: Another Norseman...gone
I always wanted to fly a Norseman, despite my peers asking why the heck I wanted to do that. I figured that once I'd learned my craft well enough on 180/185/-2/-3/-3T, then someone would see fit to let me touch a Noorduyn. Sadly, my career has moved past that point now, but I'd like to think that th...

Re: raic in yyz
The whole process seems to be a little bit of a joke, IMHO. I recently went down to the US for sim, and had to get clearance from the TSA for the alien flight student program - a process that I’ve never undergone before. The final (and, one would think, most critical) part of the application was my ...

Re: Plane down
Three major possibilities for a dual failure...
1.)mechanical issues with both engines at the same time (Highly unlikely)
2.) Fuel contamination
3.)Too much Air in the tanks.
To be fair to my fellow aviators, I’d be betting on #2.
Correct that it doesn’t look good for a RFP bid..

Knowing some guys in the program, I’d think that they’d need to keep it pretty secret until they’ve decided exactly what is going to happen.

Far more odious, from my point of view, is the pay-for-training that *all* the major carriers expose their new hires to. I can kinda get my head around the starting salaries at the regionals, because it seems, of late, that the experience level required to get in the front door isn't really commensu...
