Does this mean hiring is postponed?

Let’s say 06R/24L is closed in YUL and the winds in TAF are predicted at light an variable, 06L/24R each have an ILS approach and since they are both useable based on the TAF, that would qualify as 2 precision approaches to separate runways. I was surprised about that, I thought reciprocal runways ...

I bet nobody could have predicted this. I cannot believe an operation with no OC, no airplanes, and no pilots isn't going to fly in December. https://www.skiesmag.com/press-releases/jetlines-provides-financing-update-2/ Jetlines provides financing update SEPTEMBER 30, 2019 Canada Jetlines Ltd. is pr...

If your instructor is confused about the difference between IFR and IMC I might suggest a new instructor.

Fleet reallocation due to grounding of MAX?

The answer has nothing to do with outstanding orders or how long a replacement would take to come online. The answer is whether the public will fly on it again. If enough people refuse to book a trip on one the model will be cancelled. You give the travelling public too much credit. $600 billion on...

Are you planning on paying for 1500 hours? I'm hoping to eventually get my ATPL but obviously need to go through the grind! I "started" ppl training in January but wasn't able to take my first flight until late April since most have been getting cancelled due to weather! I'm able to do training afte...

First of all take a deep breath and relax. I have had a similar situation.

You know mcshock's girlfriend!! :O

Oh no! I hope the launch date with no OC isn't affected! lol

I know what it means. So for somebody starting today with every WestJet FO and Swoop pilot ahead of them going back to 2010 waiting for a captain spot and possibly every Encore pilot ahead of them too, and a company that isn’t expanding very fast it will probably be until 2037 or very close to it t...

First flight was announced for DEC 13 or so.

No OC.

Have you booked you winter vacation with them?

So it still sounds like you could potentially open the door and slide right before or after rotation, given that it sounds like some have mechanical locks and others don't, and if pressurization hasn't really played in yet. From an aviation security standpoint I'm surprised that all airliners would...

They'll spend billions to get it flying again. Probably already have. Boeing reputation is riding on this jet. Even if they never make a penny on the 737 program again, they'll fix it to save face. Even if they have to jack up the landing gear and lower the engines, but I bet they'd do it. I certai...

Boeing may come out of this less scathed than we all think... PARIS, FRANCE — The parent company of British Airways said on Tuesday that it is buying a new fleet of Boeing 737 Max jets — the first big-ticket order for the plane since it was grounded around the world after two fatal crashes.

There can be other reasons for a dual engine failure. Just ask Sully.

Quartering tailwind with decreasing pressure?

Darker than a black steer's tokus on a moonless prairie night. And the idiots hit the ground running. This should be an easy 3 pages of mindless sleuthing by sundown. Please tell us what causes a dual turbine engine failure if not fuel. Volcanic ash? I wonder if they had enough time to get off a ma...

they're not fit for duty and shouldn't have reported.

Fatigue plays cruel tricks.

Pure incompetence is no trick.

Stalling an airplane and having no idea what to do about it is not a cruel fatigue trick.

Let me toss this out there...if we really want pilots with good hands and feet - and the MAX issue is demonstrating that in spades - how about making an aerobatic endorsement mandatory, particularly if it is on a tail dragger? Hit two birds with one stone - better hands and feet from a tail dragger...
