Re: PFC or Glacier Air

If you're in BC, why not take the trek up and check out Air-Hart in Kelowna, especially if floats is your thing/dream.

I never trained with them personally, but I've heard good things...worth check out.

Re: Line of credit for flight training?

Read Dave Chilton's, "The Wealthy Barber Returns," (I haven't even read the Wealthy Barber) and you'll see how stupid Lines of Credit are. Really man, debt is retarded. Like many have said in this thread, work! Save! I'm serious, read that book. You'll be much better off down the road than if you ta...

Declined assessment session, now what?

Hey guys, just a couple questions if you'd be so kind, Last April I did the online application for NavCanada, and it took them a year to get back to me (got the email this past April). Anyways, in that year span I joined the military, and because I'm on a training course, am unable to attend the ass...

Re: Getting Rid of an Olympic sport

They should likely consider getting rid of hockey altogether as well as there are so few teams that are actually competetive. Maybe if the focus was on more "amateur" players rather than NHL'ers, the teams might be more balanced... Watch TV lately? Slovakia beat the Russkies and now we're losing......

Re: Anyone not cheering for team Canada?

I'm as red-blooded Canadian as the next guy Horse-shit. Hockey is who we are. You're not cheering for OUR team because they make a lot of money? Blame Bettman and his shitty operation of the NHL, not YOUR team, YOUR country. Remember, most of Sweden, Russian, Finland, and Russia play in the NHL and...

Re: Olympic Women Hockey

You losers will find anything to complain about, eh? This is PROFESSIONAL sport, not Peewee hockey. Its win or lose, no matter how big or small the differential. Not time to treat everyone like a child, where the only goal is to have fun.

Glacier Air?

I've done some searching about this company but looking for some more insight into this company regarding their PPL training. What kind of aircraft do they have? How many? Instructors good ? Or a bunch of 200hour wonders? Squamish would definately be an easier commute for a West Van boy such as myse...

How do schools rent for multi-day XCs?

Just a question here, if I wanted to do a multi-day behemoth of a cross-country, as build-up for my CPL hours, say Vancouver - Regina, or even further, in a school's C150 or something similar, how would they charge you? Surely an hourly rate for a trip like that would be silly, so how does it work? ...

Hi Gents, I'm looking for some advice.
