That said, nobody knows. I see more positives than negatives for the younguns, but it will depend on attitudes, as it always has. Not sure that I necessarily agree...I wonder how many of the young'uns will fold the tent after a large downturn like this where they might potentially be out of work fo...

Must be another rich scumball screwing over their employees. Isn't that what everyone thinks? Sarcasm -- Wow, where’d you come up with that? http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=137940 The comments.... :roll: Somehow I do'nt thin that the owners of Viking are 'little guys' scrimping ...

How deep could it bite, though? Last recession we went through was in '08, and that was largely cured (as I understand it) by printing money, and slashing interest rates. Now that everyone is loaded up with debt, and interest rates are essentially zero, how do they stave off the next recession? Havi...

Sounds like they hit a snow bank on departure.

So they ran it off the side or the end of the runway, then?

About 2 years ago now, I had a major depressive episode. SSRIs were the first line of counterattack for me, and also a series of intensive counselling sessions. My medical was 'suspended' immediately, and remained so for a year. I've been back on line for almost a year now, but am restricted to flyi...

Meh, overclocked vacuum cleaners.. 4x R2800 for the win..

wow....

More of an urban legend than anything else but in ancient times a new hire DOT (before TC) inspector was supposedly visiting Grace Lake, The Pas Manitoba. Thomas Lamb was still alive but lost his license due to heart problems. On this day, Tom was loading an Otter with his wife as a passenger. The ...

Ah (ass...u...me)

It's funny, LifeFlight in Manitoba used to be set up that way, but the government disbanded it, and went back to the 'old style' of doing things..

pie, it seems that we are co-workers. Y'all in LW do seem to have it pretty jammy!

"I've spent $600 out of pocket, maybe more," Ball says.

So, in other words, the $600 it would have cost you to fly with a real airline..

Applied earlier this year and they replied, and were interested selling it to me as an opportunity to fly humanitarian missions and give something back to humanity. I wrote back asking for terms, conditions and salary details and never heard back from them. Then a friend of mine who knows their bas...

I would say allowing the airspeed to drop below Vmca after an engine failure cause the airplane to roll over and he lose control. Pure speculation (‘cos that’s what we do here...) Almost 900 miles from California..too much air in the tanks? Anyone have the numbers for useful load for an Aerostar? S...

Pssssst chhhk.....glug glug glug.. “But you said I was off duty...”

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..

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...

Just let them do their jobs.

They don't do their jobs.

I'm curious, what do you think their job is?

Harassing pilots for toothpaste and 'Leatherman' violations while disregarding crash axes and steel cutlery in Business?

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...

^ Newton's 4th (and lesser known) Law: For every opinion, there's an equal and opposite opinion

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...

Thus sayeth 'The Meat'!

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...
