My connection to this tragedy is 4 fold. 1. I used to fly for a provincial fire fighting operation. And have lost friends in this business. 2. I have had several friends worked for Coulson's family for years. 3. I spent a year in Australia and have many fond memories of the place and friends that l...

Mount Kosciuszko is the highest mountain in Australia @7300', so my country of origin isn't flat. not quite as comparable to the Rockies. But definitely not flat Spent 2 seasons teaching skiing at Mt Buller. Skied over knee deep powder in the gum trees. What a place!! Glad to see that the ancient f...

Australia has some very mountainous terrain in the states of NSW and Victoria.

During a very difficult period in our lives as a family I was called at home by my wife who was trying to get a hold of our son. <snip> And thank you too, sir/ma'am, for sharing. Thank you I share this story often, as it is good to say the words. It helps me to put this part of my life into perspec...

During a very difficult period in our lives as a family I was called at home by my wife who was trying to get a hold of our son. We had been around the patch with him since his teenage years and he was on the back side of rehab that didn't take and we were worried beyond belief. On top of that were ...

Can you imagine the prospect of a Mexican hospital for the flight attendant?

That has the potential for a hellish experience far greater than the pax...snowflakes.

Does anyone know what a typical monthly pairing schedule looks like on the 57?

And what would the commute be like from the west coast?
Whats the min block for the month?
Cheers

Otherwise you'll have to get a tandem checkout on stick.

This doesn't really explain to me how such a regulation would "hamper" operations. It would force operators to have efficient communications, and drive the shit operators (who can't even afford a sat phone) out of business. If you can't afford a good communications system, you should not be carryin...

Damn fingers...sorry for the post X 2

Does it count if I was by myself?

Not so charter ops.

Hm Really.

So now your an expert at this to eh?

SMS seems to work where I work.

Hellloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Election coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the usual BS.

The Charllotes and North Island are more difficult because they get more days of fog or wind up there.
But the south is just as hard when it's blowin or socked in.

When I worked at HA a peer of mine had the peasure of flying David Suzuki to Vancouver. He rode up front with my friend and said that flying that route makes a smaller enviromental footprint than driving and/or taking a Ferry from Vancouver Island to the main land. These people on Toronto island are...

Lets not Forget the Flying Beaver at YVR.

Put a few dents in the bar on opening night that are still there.

The Boss wasn't impressed.

The Winston in Pickle lake

Best Club House sandwich anywhere.
I've been doing a study.

Oh ...

Just one more thing. Nothing against these people or there respective schools. Just wondering.........

Well since I started this I better chime in to. My original post reffered to 2 things, the ability of the candidits to perform in a complex aircraft and the mood associated with 250 hour pilots being hired to do the job so many people hussled there asses off for. What is an ex Regional guy who got f...

How about those pilots that have been there for a few years that got there the hard way.

How is a 250 hour pilot going to manage being in that cockpit? Thats a pretty big step form a twin piper in the circuit at Buttonville to a jet doing mach .8.

I wonder what this does to there insurance?

Can you imagine being one of those 8 people selected by Jazz from the flight colleges???

Wow...would love to be a fly on the wall in the crew room.

GeeBee

Are you saying that you make $9.00/h
and are charged $400.00/mth to live at the lodge?

How many hours a day are you paid for?
