The -200 had EPR, and we would get a CLB thrust setting off the charts, or in some of the aircraft, a TAT/EPR guage on the panel. On the NG, the FMC figures it all out, in combination with the EEC (Electronic Engine Control) and a whole bunch of other systems that probably have input as well. Also, ...

Regarding the B737-700 series (and/or all NG37s, I suppose), a question about the power settings: Is there a reduction in power from initial climb to cruise, or are they left the same throughout the climb? (I ask the question based on my experience on WJ flights only.) Our FMCs are defaulted to set...

RB. I put my plane back up there because I knew it would bother some of you. It seems to have worked. As you can see grammar guy (likes to call himself "boy"? :smt102 ) has a size issue. This is too easy. Doesn't take much to get a pathetic reaction from the other side around here. All I see in the...

Glad you see you back from your hibiscus. You missed a thread on the WJ forum on the YOW incident of which I was referring. Your recounting indicates another occurrence.

I think they are the same incident.

Unfortunately low cost does dilute safety regardless of your opinion. The WJ YOW incident was a perfect example of that, of course you can be in denial all you want. Rebel: Can you remind me of the reason the FO's at AC have to hop up and do a pre-takeoff contamination inspection of the wings every...

Come on that’s not the whole true picture and you know it. Do you really think you’re going to fool anyone in the know with that comparison? Just for starters WJ pilots are at risk for their compensation package, AC pilots are not... Save that union rhetoric for the uneducated... Rebel: The only pa...

I know of a Caravan that took off with the tail still tied to a tire filled with cement.

What happened? Watched them peel it in tight on a left base for 24L, obviously wanted to get that thing on the ground. Closed 24L for a while, heard something about "smoke being gone now" on the ground freq, shutdown and airstairs dropped while still on the high speed exit. We and a few other a/c sw...

So you'd pay out of your pocket to help ERAU purchase new aircraft??? The only things these students have lost is their semester and flying time... and for that, quite unfortunate.

Also, I typoed the question, and I can't edit it, so ignore the "manys hours" and just pretend it says, "How many hours do you have, flying time"

Just wanna see what experience is on this board.

Seriously though, good luck, vacancies are at an all-time low in YYC right now.

If you know someone at WJ who can get you into the crew room, there are a bunch of "shared accommodation" and "for rent" things up on the bulletin board.

No. The 900ER is still less range than the -700. http://boeing.com/commercial/737family/images/rc_newyork.jpg However: http://boeing.com/commercial/737family/737-700ER/facts.html - Flies up to 2,145 nautical miles farther than a 737-700 - Capable of trans-oceanic flights with the maximum range of 5,...

how do the air canada pilots log a trip that is filed IFR that goes from YYZ to YVR in blue skies at 35,000' but on top of a cloud deck that is at 10,000'? is it logged IFR? I can't speak for Air Canada pilots (I work for the competition), but I think most of us stopped logging IFR (and cross count...
