Well they gave that construction worker a story to tell for the rest of his life. If anyone believes him.

Re: Be careful what you report finding on the walkaround

No offense lady but there are pilots that cross the ocean 6-10 times a month for 40 years. You are nowhere near the record.

Re: C-47 Takeoff Groundloop and Crash

I remember reading your posts when you were getting your start in aviation. Now you're the most bitter angry person on the board. Maybe more than Doc. What happened?

Re: Pilot or Accountant or Both

Yeah sure the only thing preventing you from being a major airline captain is a few years of seniority. Or get your CPA and you can be CFO of a large publicly traded airline. No offense but you sound totally deluded about what it takes to get to these positions.

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

Perhaps the rumors of scope being secured were premature.

Re: WestJet pilots to fly Swoop aircraft

I'm confused. So Westjet pilots had scope before or they just "won" it through negotiating? Regardless of the outcome of negotiations pilots will convince themselves they got a great deal. Such a fascinating phenomenon to watch. I remember similar celebration when Jazz "won" status pay for the 757....

Re: Helicopter pilot thinking about making the move to fixed wing

Air Canada's job ad specifically says fixed wing time.
WestJet doesn't seem to be hiring pilots right now so I can't check their ad.
WestJet Encore's ad says fixed wing time is preferred so it sounds like they would consider helicopter experience towards their total time requirements.

Late May. I wonder if the May 14th course got pushed back or they added another after it?

Re: Time to Stand Firm

Being bottom of the list doesn't mean bottom of the company. There are guys that are 737 f/o's at mainline that are below right seat on the Q on the list. It might be a viable career decision to go to Swoop at the bottom of the list (behind current Encore pilots) and accrue 737 time. While also gett...

You can make over 200 grand a year at Air Canada after 2 years. Over 150 grand after 6 months if the above poster is correct about Emb Captain at 6 months.

Re: The Air Canada OTS thread

The new PMA is like a Catch 22. You have to be mental to fly for Express and work your ass off for 30 grand a year. To fly for Air Canada you now have to fly for Express. So in order to fly for Air Canada you have to be crazy but they psych test people so they don't hire crazies.
